Waiting for results!

Today I will be going to the cancer clinic for an appointment with my oncologist. She will let me know the results of the tests done on me the last few weeks, CTScan, bloodwork etc. The same were done in January just before our trip to Holland (that trip seems like ages ago!).

Up to this point I have not been anxious at all, but Ted and I know from experience that the moment they stick us in the little office to await the entrance of Dr Harris we look at each other, yes that is a bit nerve-racking. Upon her entrance she has my big file in her hands and there is NO small-talk, it is a "live or die" kind of thing. So we will just have to wait till about 3:00pm this afternoon. The minute we come out of the Hospital we begin to make the calls with the result to our children and to those we know who are really interested in our well being.

Last week Yvonne, the girls and I were in Wal-Mart shopping and looking around, (while the girls are sitting in a shopping cart with a few things from the toy department to keep them occupied). We looked in the houseware department and came upon white dishes. We both like the same stuff, though Yvonne is so more creative than I. I mentioned to Yvonne, I have loved white plain dishes ever since we just got married (46 years ago), but they were never a priority as we put all our extra cash into musical instruments. Now I am 66 years old I still do not have them.

My question to her was: "Am I not to old to buy a whole new set of dishes?" I always think how important is it. To which practical Yvonne laughingly replied: "Not at all Mom, when we buy the same I will have a double set when your time comes!" She can say things like that to me as I have a great sense of humor. We stood there in that isle laughing.
No.... I did NOT buy them, yet!!
