It is indeed a good day!. Our visit with Dr. Lucas confirms Dr. Johnson's opinion that I am doing very well and that she would recommend me for bowel reconnection surgery but there are no other surgeons in Asheville that perform this surgery besides Dr. Ahearn so Mayo here we come. Sometime soon I will make an appt. and we may travel down theresoon -- maybe even before we go there in the fall to see what's what.
Yesterday we built 13 panels for a fence for two dogs, and the wonderful Job Corps guys (14 of them) showed up to help. We simply could not have done it all in one day without their help! Otis and Bo are very happy now.
I have more or less decided that I simply cannot build fences like I have been doing. The physical work, my lack of stamina and the heat have really taken a toll and I will not be present at all builds in the future -- the doctor pretty much validated that my strength will not be back until 6 months post chemo which would make it November. So I will be living with Mr. Fatigue for a little while longer now.
So, hope you guys have a good week and we'll type again soon.
Cheers!
Peggy
