Here I am!  I didn't mean

Here I am!  I didn't mean to worry anyone.  I have been a little down.  My local lab misplaced a very important pathology order (Caris next generation sequencing) and my oncologist really wants those results.

Because the order and specimen weren't sent until 3 weeks after my biopsy, I have really wasted time.  The results take about 2 weeks--even if rushed.

So I have gone to my garden, so to speak.  It is where I go when I am really stresses.  And I have had a bumper crop of lovely irises and seen birds that I rarely see, so that has brought my soul great peace.

I am doing fine with the Afinitor.  I have a few mouth sores, but I've had worse.  So far, so good!  I am still working and my energy there has been pretty good (actually a great distraction).

I love you all and didn't mean to scare you. 

So glad you are doing well.  

Happy gardening! Enjoy those irises

Happy to See Your Name

Love the Painted Bunting, so it's not a normal bird in your neck of the woods?  I am forcing forsythia to bloom in my house and you have irises.  I have to wait until the end of June to see them.    I think irises are one of the most beautiful flowers ever grown.  They remind me of my dad who had bumper crops of them too.

Working in a garden is the best therapy I know of to relieve stress.  I use to love weeding.  More the merrier and when I finished, I forgot all my troubles.  I can't get down in the dirt like I use to due to my brace and knees.  How I miss it but I am going to devise some way I can get back in the garden.  I loved it and use to plant the gardens at historical houses too.  It wasn't my main job (guiding was) but, I love it because it relaxed me like nothing else did.

I know that Afinitor gives mouth sores and am glad that there doable.

 

Glad to hear you and hope that report comes back soon.

We seem to get a painted bunting or two each spring, but they are rare for us.  I have worked very hard to make my garden a wildlife sanctuary: woods at the back of the lot and lots of native plants.  It seems to be working because I have had a bumper crop of songbirds this year. 

Thank you all for your concern and I promise to let you know my test results just as soon as I hear.

Oh, also, I did have my Muga scan and it was normal, so that was a piece of very happy news.  I was worried because I had had a small heart attack back in 2008.  My cardiologist thinks the hattack may have been related to undiagnosed mets as he says that mets can cause clotting issues that can cause a very distal artery heart attack like mine.  Anyway, my heart seems to have recovered nicely  That will open up more options for me.

Glad to see your post

I, too, was wondering where you've been, what you've been doing, why you're not here. Nosy bunch, aren't we:)

I prefer our weather to yours, but your birds are so much prettier!
