Good news today

I got good news today, my doctor said my pet/scan was good. I don't have to go back until the middle of September for another Pet/scan. If it still shows good, she will then start me on a maintenance drug called Rituxin, I have to take it one day a week for 4 weeks, every 6 months. So she said I will have my port in at least 2 years. She reassured me that if it comes back, there are many treatments to try yet. That made me feel much better.

So, I now have no reason not to get busy. Samantha and I have been working on Fall items this past weekend. She has 2 scarecrow items and another kleenex coverup that should be ready tomorrow. I am hoping my scarecrow nodder will be done tomorrow also. So please check back with us tomorrow and you should see some new patterns.

Samantha, Chris and the grand dogs spent Memorial day with us, they came over and swam. My friend Becky from Orlando, came by and we went to Walmart and did some shopping. Then came home and had a big pork roast, potatoes, green beans and garlic biscuits for dinner. Oh, and a big pot of boiled green peanuts. At least I had enough left over for dinner tonight.

Well, just wanted to share my news with you all. Thanks so much for all of your encouragement, emails and prayers. I really appreciate it.
