Friends

It is hard for me to follow Otis' blog last night, so I guess I will just say thanks to him and write my own note. Roger has fallen asleep early tonight, so I am alone. This will be a test, to see if I can type without leaving off letters and mispelling words, actually don't count misspelled words, for I never could spell! We have enjoyed visiting with friends from Gate City/Kingsport. Jim, Carol & Allen have lifted our spirits and made us smile and we are grateful. I am feeling pretty good. No new symptoms or side effects and I believe my vision has improved, at least slightyl. Yeah! Tiredness comes and goes, they tell me to expect that to increase a little, temporarily. My treatments have been later in the morning for a couple of days, so haven't seen the same folks in the waiting room. Thank you for continuing to keep them in your prayers, esp. Marie and my little teenager friend. Tomorrow is her last radiation treatment, but she still has more chemo to go through so my prayer is that she will tolerate it well and that it will do the job it is suppose to do. She has a lot of courage, and she and her mother are an inspiration to me. I continue to get as much exercise as I can.....it is an important part of my treatment plan and is written in the instructions, really. We are blessed to be in a wonderful residential neighborhood of walkers. Tonight we met a lovely grandmother, walking with her grandchildren. Her name is Diane and she invited us to go to church with her. For those Baptist and Methodist amoung you, both of our invitatioins to church have been from Presbyterians. Not to cause any of you any further worry about my newly liberalized husband, but we plan to visit the Presbyterians!! Until tomorrow, remember God is Good, all the time. Love you all. Marlene
