Hello friends and family,
I am not sure where the time has gone since my last post, but it might be hours and hours of tree lot preparation, helping to set up the lot, taking delivery of 1085 trees and working at the lot. I am already 3 months into being president of the Presidents Club of Dayton with a meeting coming up Monday. Next week I will begin making visits to the middle schools to promote the Optimist Oratorical contests. Those contests are in February, but that is not far away.
We enjoyed having Annabelle and Jim here for the Thanksgiving weekend. Roy brought Annabelle to the cancer center when I was there for chemo and she got to see how the tubes and bags were attached and how I can walk around with my pole. She had been very curious about all of that.
The weekend ended on a bittersweet note as Jim and Annabelle said good-by to their kittycat Chloe. Chloe has been diagnosed with an incurable, untreatable cancer and may live a few more days or weeks - maybe months - it depends on how long she continues to eat and stay comfortable with pain medication. We are thankful she stayed relatively normal for Annabelle and Jim to see her last weekend.
Yesterday was the last day of chemo of the 6th cycle which Annabelle had called the "happiest day of my life." Thursday was the brain MRI - will get results from Dr Taha on Monday afternoon - and the PET scan is scheduled for next Monday, Dec. 10. I will get results from Dr. Calvo on Tuesday morning and plan what treatment is needed next. It may be a break from chemo or a lighter schedule or ???
In the meantime, being an Optimist, I made an airline reservation for our ski trip to Montana in January including an overnight stay in Seattle if everything works out with the airline. That's kind of exciting since neither Roy nor I have been to Seattle.
Thanks to all of you for your continuing prayers and good thoughts. They are very appreciated and reassuring.
Happy Holidays,
Margaret

Margaret,
So good to see you blog again. My son often asks about the lady from the Dragons that was my teacher. He finds it funny that real people taught me. I want you to know I thing of you often, and hope you can keep a positive attitude and have a blessed Christmas. I look forward to seeing both of you at the Dragons this coming season.
