Happy Memorial Day
We had a cookout yesterday afternoon with Daddy and Virginia, and my sister Jenny and her family. Don grilled his famous burgers, and he and I even made homemade hamburger buns. It was delicious, and my appetite cooperated very well.
Yesterday evening, we went down to the neighborhood pool, and I got in! (And yes, I was also able to get out safely this time, unlike last summer's 4th of July fiasco.) I spent a little over an hour in the water, and even walked back and forth across the pool with my NIL (new, improved leg). It was so relaxing, and it gave me a chance to have some fun with the kids.
Tomorrow is my last scheduled radiation treatment, followed by a visit with Dr. M (the radiation oncologist). Hopefully we will get good news from last week's x-rays.
Overall, I am feeling pretty well right now, in spite of the radiation treatments. I have learned to rest when I am tired, and to enjoy myself when I feel like it. With so many ups and downs in my health, it is the only way to manage things.
I love summer; I love the pool; I am extremely grateful for every good day that I have.

The pool sounds like great fun! Wish I had one I could use! The cookout...yum! I didn't even know you could make your own buns. I thought that is what the store was for...:0).
Sharon, Janet has been keeping me up to date. I had a few min. on my lunch break, and was thinking of you so I decided to check your blog. You need to write a book. You have such a way with words. I am glad you were able to get in and out of the pool safely. I'm glad you had a good memory. Have a great day and I will wait to hear more good news. Kathy Long ;-)
