Wreath making

Sure, Margaret, I'm interested in getting together to make wreaths. I can definitely bring the pine cones. I would love to host whoever here, although I know it's a little far. Right now I don't have any concrete plans for any weekend in the next couple of months. Let me know when and where you are thinking.

Anyone else interested?

New Questions

Okay, it's time to start reminising again. In case anyone is wondering, these questions come from a book called "Reflections from a mother's heart." I always wished I had gotten Mama to do one for us before she was gone.

The question is: When did you first go to church? What are your earliest memories of church?

I assume that we always went to Center Hill Baptist after Mama and Daddy got married and moved to Center Hill. I wonder if that was the first place they lived, I don't remember ever hearing of anywhere else. Hmm.

My first memories of church was being in a Christmas play and what fun it was practicing for it. I'm sure it was an excellent play. I think Charles Davis and I were children in it and we had to sit on the floor in a family scene and play. I don't remember having any lines. No wonder it was fun practicing for it. I also remember the first time I saw tears in Mama's eyes at church and I thought that was so weird and worried what in the world was going on. We went to Grandmama Layton's that afternoon and I kept looking at Mama's eyes to see if I could detect any more tears. I didn't know at that time that it was just the family curse which we all have, some worse than others, but none worse than me.

Well, I did talk with Dr. Bowers today. He says that there is some activity in my lung and in my lymph nobes, although its very low, which he says is further good news. I would have preferred the good news of negative activity. He wants to do the lung scope next Wednesday. He feels that I do not have cancer, but there is something and that he wants to do everything that he can do to determine exactly what. He thinks that we will probably do another c scan in about 6 weeks and then another in six months and then another after six months. That way we'll have a history of activity. So I guess I'll still need the prayers. Thanks.

Bertha, I was not where I could talk to you either time that you called. The doctor's office does have the results of my PET scan, but was not in the office today. He'll be in tomorrow. His nurse says that sometimes, he returns calls between patients, but other times, he waits until he's finished with patients, late in the afternoon. So I know nothing at this time. I asked the nurse today, about if this test is negative, why we would schedule the scan. Her answer was that I'd have to ask the doctor tomorrow. Tonight, I received a call from the hospital telling me that they did schedule the scope to look into my lungs next Wednesday at 9 AM. I guess I'll address this with the doctor tomorrow. If the PET scan comes back negative, I guestion the need for the scan. I received my bill from my emergency room visit today, right at $4,000, $1,500 of which was for the emergency room, not labs or test. I guess my waiting for the test, was very expensive. One part of the bill was pharmacy for $120.19 and I only was given one Motrin. I know I won't have to pay any more if they charge more, because I have definitely met my deductable of $3,000, but I don't think it's fair for my insurance company to have to pay for all of that time, while I waited 4 1/2 for the scan to be done and another 1 1/2 for the scan to be read. I jokingly said to one of the nurses that I hope I was not paying for the room by the hour, and he jokingly said, "No they charge by the minute" and I really think that is correct.
Oh well, what can I do at this time. Not pay anything, just wait. I'll let you know something when I know. I'm really not worried, because I don't believe it's anything, but if it is, I'll deal with it one day at a time.
