Scan approaching

I haven't written in a while...I've thought about it often but just haven't disciplined myself to sit and put my tangled thoughts together. I had the ureter stent placed a few weeks ago. The procedure wasn't so bad but the recovery pretty much sucked. Got that nice feeling back of feeling like I have to pee a gallon and only producing a drop...it's better now but still visits me now and then. Dull ache in my lower back and abdomen continues. If this is the worse to expect for the next several months I'll be home free.

Had a lovely time with my sister Cyndi and Bro-in-lw Mike when they came up to visit and help us with our home construction. We camped on the "knob" and worked on the house and garden. It was so wonderful having these two special people to spend time with and appreciate their help and companionship so much! It felt good to laugh and share. Thanks Mike and Cyndi! Our time together is treasured. We love you~

My next scan is fast approaching. November 8 is the magical day. The results will dictate my plan of care. Whether I can wait on the chemo or start it immediately. I have a sneaky suspicion I already know what the answer will be. But hey, miracles happen. My goal was to be in our home before I had to start chemo but, that's not a realistic goal I have figured out...so my new goal is to find a home worthy camper and live in it on our land. I really feel the need to be on the "knob". The comfort and pleasure of being in nature, being able to be there with my husband as he labors on our home, wake up to peaceful mornings, and settle into quiet evenings..to have the feeling of being "home".
