Monday...December 20th...2010

Linda is doing pretty good..she is going without the oxygen for periods of time...she believes the radiation was effective and the left upper lobe reinflated...she does say though that it is more comfortable with the )2...she does like going into stores without it....so we are carrying it in the car now at all times so she can use it as needed.....she is pretty weak..hard to get up..almost impossible in she kneels down....can't hardly climb stairs...needs help doing so...

Last night Ginnie and Nancy came for dinner.. daughter Janine helped her mother prepare the meal...and did a great job...son Jim showed and joined in...a good time was had by all.....

Tomorrow grand daughter Jillian and Linda's niece Susan and her daughter Sarah are coming over to make and decorate sugar cookie....Linda has the dough ready to go...Dave wishes he could join in but the followup Colonoscopy is tomorrow....can they make that stuff you drink any worse...and the other half has to be drunk in the am....UGGGGGGGHHHHHH.....

The bathroom floor is tiled..now the counter.....

Mrs. Wood has acknowledged her loss of hair and cancer this round by wearing a baseball cap instead of a wig...she figures folks just aught to know she has cancer....she has always resisted wearing a ball cap...looks good...

Linda, you look great with that baseball cap on. We just need to find you a Champ Car one!! :)

Dave - good luck with the colonoscopy this morning... it'll be over before you know it.

Sending lots of hugs to both of you for a simply wonderful Christmas holiday with friends and family.


Love,
Jim and Swee

It's a tough patch, my dear. It's all right to let the fires of Hell burn away the unessential things (like wearing wigs all the time) -- for without pressure, diamonds are never formed. You are a diamond -- polished and gleaming and strong and brilliant and glorious.

And the hat's just fine. My mom had one that even had packets in the back for those handwarmer thingies to keep her head warm. :-D Given as a joke from her brother....

Hugs to you. Feel yourself wrapped in that golden glow of healing energy and peace and love. And know that I'm always thinking of you as we both move through this season. I know you're surrounded by family and friends and LOVE. I know you are safe.

Hope the cookies were as wonderful as I know the company was! What a wonderful family you have Linda.
See you soon.

Linda, can't decide if I like you better with the wig or the baseball cap, I think it needs to be an Oregon Duck cap though. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Love bunches to you both. Judy

Love the pictures of our strong and courageous woman - also looking for pics of the new tile, please to assure Dave is keeping busy.

Your head is shaped perfectly for caps, had we known that you would have all sorts of favorite team caps in your closet! Ducks, for sure.

Loving the season as seen through the blog. And much love to you!
