The Middle of June!

Is it really the middle of June??  Did we have a Spring?  Summer is here!
Wow, time is flying by, it was just Monday morning and I was sitting here at my computer, thinking about the week ahead, and now it is Saturday!  Let's catch up: Monday was a day of finishing up the laundry, cleaning, etc... Tuesday we went down to RWJ for Sarah's MRI and blood work, since it is an hour drive each way, that took up most of the day.  Wednesday morning I went to Quest Lab in Parsippany for my blood work, in preparation for my yearly physical which is next week.  I am finally catching up on my own doctor visits; last week I went to the dentist, which was long over due by several months, next week primary care doctor, next month mammogram.  Thursday Sarah and I both went to the eye doctor, I can not believe it has been over six months since my eye surgery!! My eyesight is almost 20/20, amazing!  Sarah had a great report too, no more swelling/bleeding of the optic nerve, thank goodness!  After getting good reports on our eyes, Sarah and I went out to lunch and then to Michael's for some craft supplies.  We found some great puzzles that we want to get for our trip to the lake, but decided to wait until we had a coupon!!!!!  Friday we went back down to RWJ to see the doctor, Sarah's blood counts have all improved, and the MRI showed that the tumors have shrunk and all that remains is some scar tissue, YEAH!!!!   Sarah is being weaned from the transplant team, next week she goes back to Dr. M at Overlook Hospital,  she doesn't need to go to RWJ until August for her next MRI, double YEAH!!!!!  Sarah's recovery is moving ahead; slow and steady, but right on track.  Keep up the good work my warrior girl!

Aside from doctors this week, I was able to finish knitting a shawl and a baby blanket, and start working on a doll!  Knitting is my escape; I love the creative process, and the satisfaction of a finished product.  When I am done blocking the shawl and blanket, and finished knitting the doll clothes, my new photographer, aka Sarah, will take photos for me to post.

Friday night was spent enjoying the beautiful evening with great friends :)
Pizza, wine, music, and special friends; who could ask for more!

Here's to many more happy summer days and nights.
