Day 15 of Radiation

I told Patti this morning after my radiation visit that I would not be going there tomorrow. I needed a day off. Instead of thinking for a moment as she always does, she answered very quickly, sure, you deserve it, and while you are at it take Sunday off too. We did a lot of running around today picking up things we need for our projects and basic house needs. We are both very tired and it is only just past 6PM. Yesterday kinda took the wind out of our sails today. It was great working yesterday and we both look forward to it tomorrow here at home and at the office doing the bunk beds and picture frames. We picked up a few more ideas at the woodworking store in Brookpark. I just got a very nice card from Heather's in-laws Ron and Sandy Flatt in Butler, PA. I hesitate to bring up peoples names who send cards as I do not want to slight anyone who sent a card and then I don't mention it. In this case I want to put out on the blog to them that Patti and I will be coming to Butler Memorial Day weekend with the camper, dune buggies and ATV's. I promise this year not to roll the dune buggy and split my head open like last year. However, helmets are the rule for riders. The doctor told me that if I am going to fall off the ATV or roll the dune buggy, make sure it is on the left side of my body and not the right as my ribs are now more likely to break. Patti and I had a great time there last year, and hopefully this year is even better. I also want to publicly say Happy 74th Birthday to my mother for Saturday. She is a 18+ year cancer survivor and going strong. She is away with my sister on a shopping trip to PA and I hope she has fun spending my inheritance. (inside joke folks) I thank God today for giving me one of my most pain free days since November 9th. Monday the stitches come out and hopefully the discomfort there stops. I broke a stitch, I think, yesterday on my back while hooking up the snowplow on the ATV. I know, I was not suppose to be doing it but everyone else was busy doing their job and I know the best way to do it. Just my nature folks. Patti continues to yells at me and try to step in and do the job, but I do what I consider my jobs. She can be mad at me for doing it, but I can be satisfied that I got it accomplished. Maybe she is right to yell at me, but God didn't make me someone to stand around. (Sound like someone you know Clarence?) Right now I am months ahead of where I should be with my rehab from surgery and I attribute that to just doing my jobs that God gave me the wisdom and the abilities to do. Well, everyone have a good weekend. Many of you I will see at church on Sunday. God bless you all. And Ken, I have the answer to Hebrews 3:6.

Half through, Steve. Yes, you and Clarence sure do have something in common!
Love to both of you,
