Sunday Salutations... But First Let Me Take A Selfie!

Due to the high doses of narcotics needed to manage my pain, I am no longer able to drive!  As of last week, YOU, my faithful family and friends have taken over chauffeuring me.  Special thanks this past week to the one and only Joylyn Hannahs.  Many of you know Joylyn for her beautiful photography work which can be found at www.jhannahs.com. What you may not know her for is her world-class selfie images. Joylyn and I spent the day together on Thursday - the first day of my newly managed pain.  She laughed and cried with me... Mostly tears of laughter over previously mentioned selfies. I know this is serious stuff but I'm filled with gratitude right now for the laughs I was able to have.  And especially for the outpouring of love.

Radiology Oncologist, Dr. B.

Dr. Bobby - Interventional Pulmonologist

I know it will be difficult to thank everyone every week for their help no after the form but please know my heart is full at the outpouring of love for me and my family.

Also, special thanks to the meal brigade..... WOW! Nicole Horsche and I think Kristy Schnabel put this together. I'm so touched at the outpouring of sign ups!  Having overseen and participated in many of these schedules I know it's not always so beautifully filled and so quickly. Again I'm so humbled by the outpouring of love.  I am especially grateful as I want Rich and Lilli to be taken care of and this will help me still feel like we can do our family dinners which are more important than ever!  So thank each and every one of you.

Cara Coleman was wonderful last week and this week getting everything lined up with caring bridge, getting the word out to the masses, and helping me organize doctors info etc. I'm so thankful for her and her wealth of knowledge and her making me rest!  She will continue to help organize driving schedules etc. you can reach her at clclexus2@aol.com.

My girl Britt Koester I think saw me at my worse. She got me the day I had my CT scan and I was not in good shape / pre medication tweaking!!!  Thank you Dr. Heyer. We all thank you.

On Wednesday morning my friend of 40+ years texted and said I really can't wait any longer to see you.  Can I stop by.  Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I received the call from Dr. Heyer, the medical oncologist, asking me to come to his office. How about God giving Tammy the holy nudge to reach out to me and her listening to him.  We were able to zip right down to his office.  Otherwise I would have had to wait to get someone to come pick me up.  I'm so grateful for Tam's faithful friendship. 

I am already worried I'm missing someone on my Sunday Salutations. Please forgive me if I have.
