My leukemia's back.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement, and especially for the prayers. They mean a lot, and especially right now. I won't rant, and rave, but I have to admit that once in a blue moon, I get a little scared. Normally I'm very careful about not letting my mind get into the "what if" cycle. I find it to be counterproductive. Instead, I try to face each challenge as it arises. There are those rare times though, that I face a long term choice, and the reality of my situation hits me squarely in the face. Blam! I'm usually pretty quick to pray for guidance, then release the fear, knowing the Lord is with me, and He's got my back on things. I feel He's put a wonderful group of people together to encourage, strengthen, and pray in those times when extra oomph is needed. Thank you! You all are a true blessing.
 
Cynthia, I'm glad your doctor was wise enough to go old school, and find something that works good for your Dh. Don't worry about the appearance of your nose. It'll turn out fine. My dad had a huge place on his nose that they had to cut out. When they do that, they cut, and graft a piece from the forehead so they can utilize a main vein for blood supply, otherwise the graft dies. After they did the graft, my dad wouldn't leave the house much, until it healed. He swore he looked worse than Frankenstein, and scared adults, and little children alike. In time, he healed and looked fine. That's how I know for sure that yours will look fine again, soon.
 
Snow storm that started Tues afternoon is still going. So far, we've had more than 24". The snow blower is broken, hubby has tweaked his back, and I am babying a wrist that I sprained last week. But, life is good. Hubby is out trying to cobble the snow blower back together. A shear pin failed resulting in a broken bolt that holds a major gear, which in turn got chewed up. So, if he can find a bolt, and re-install the chewed up gear, it might work for us until the replacement gear and bolt comes in next week.

God has blessed us mightily with safe traveling to get home in the storm yesterday. It was so icy that I couldn't stop to turn into my road, when going down a gentle hill. So, I had to finish the rest of the mile long skid to the bottom of the hill so I could turn around at the county line marker. Then, I could go back up the hill to make the turn into my road, and skid the rest of the way home! At no time, during hubby's 50 mile commute, and my 27 mile commute, did we encounter vehicles that put us in jeopardy, despite a grid lock on the interstate.
 
Hubby's fix on snow blower lasted about 30'. So, we're shoveling bare minimum to allow us to get the truck out. Road crews keep filling in ends of driveway. No way we can even begin to safely clean that up, so are at mercy of our plow man. Unfortunately, past storms have left the driveway so closed in that there is no where to put any more snow. combing at ends of the driveway are about 6' high. Please pray for quick melt off of this mess so it will get knocked down to manageable amounts.
 
They are talking the strong possibility of another Nor'Easter Monday until Tuesday. :he
