Good morning everyone

Morning folks! Up and back, home safe and sound. The biopsy itself went very well. I roused up once that I remember when he was aspirating the sample and this pain shot down my leg....I remember making an ouchy sound, then back to sleep......just like I should be. then waking up when it was all over, about 30 minutes altogether. He got a really good sample. Basic results will be in Mon or Tues, basic in that there's leukemia or there's not. They still send it out for cyotgenics and a bunch of other specialized tests, but the gist will be early next week.

Our motel was lovely, and the Ronald McDonald House folks are so incredibly nice. I got to visit with the social worker that's followed me since diagnosis while I was up there, and brought her some fresh eggs

. I wanted to go up on the floor where I stayed, but they're under lockdown for some viral thing so we skipped that visit. The drives up and back were fine. It's lamb season, I-5 goes through sheep country so we got to see all the baby lambs, and the pastures look so green and pretty. I love living here!

Today is livestock auction day! They've got a consignment of Hereford/Angus feeder calves and Honey and I have pretty much talked ourselves into buying one or two, depending of course on how they look and price. it's the first auction of the year, so I'm afraid prices might get driven up cause folks get silly sometimes. If so, we'll just wait until next month and see how things look. I just like to go and see the animals for the most part.

Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts

Rachel, glad to hear things went well for you today. The drive sounds pretty with the greenery and lambs. Will keep those good thoughts and prayers going to get good results back next week.

hang in there friend....I can tell from your writing your going through a lot....obviously poor health causes a great amount of depression....try t to enjoy each day as best you can....every day is a gift....I was given a "few" years to live in 1995.....by the grace of God and amazing doctors I'm still here...the one thing I learned was to enjoy every sunrise..and take every day as they come.....you don't know me...but you are in my prayers every night.....I never pray for myself (except that I'm guided to make good decisions) but I ask that people like you are taken care of my friend.... I like to think my prayers help...so just hang in there and don't let the depression "own" you.......Phil

Rachel...I'm so glad that they have speeded the process up a bit....20 years ago I think I went a minimum of three weeks before I got a result....well I'm here with you waiting...
