March 24

Wanted to reach out this week. I tend to loose track of what is going on, so hope I have kept up with this week. Perhaps I told you that I had a problem with my teeth and had to have a root canel on Thursday. Those of you who know me well will remember that about 5 years I had 8 broken teeth and have thus had to have crowns more than one time. I continue to have some problems and you may remember hearing me talk about the problems since Dec. I am taking one (tooth day) at a time and trusting that God is providing for the problems that I have had. I am greatful that He's keeping me safe, and that when I thought there was a problem, it didn't show up until this week, just between my going off coumadan and getting ready for the port and the filter. God is Good....all the time.

Today, I had the port and the filter inserted. I have to confess that I was very worried about having to have both of them done. I know others who have had problems (not recently) and I was a little worried. I was very surprised that the filter was inserted first through the same vein that the port was inserted. I am an OLD Nurse......but finally it made sense and I was very glad that both procedures were done very quickly together.. EVerything went well and I was very please to be back in Gate City. I will start the chemo next week. I am about to be tired, so I will talk to you guys soon. Remember God Loves you and is good all the time. Love Marlene

Hi Marlene,
Long time. I hope your chemo goes very good. Those ports are nice, saves wear on the veins. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can get your teeth fixed also with no problems. I think of you every day. I do hope the people you encounter are as patient, nice, considerate, compationate and loving with you as you were with dad. Love you very much. Portia

We're checking on your progress both on line and thru Roger & Patti. Glad things went well with the port, etc. and I hope the teeth won't give you any more problems.
I saw the prettiest little blond girl at church Easter Sunday and asked her if her MiMi had seen her beautiful dress yet. She smiled and said yes because she's the one that bought it for me! You have great taste!!!
Hope you are having a good day!
Love you all,
Allen & Carol
