November is Gratitude Month~!

Well - Greg is off to MN/WI for a hunting trip!  Ally, her boyfriend Kyle and I leave on Wednesday to spend the thanksgiving holiday with my family.  Jessica will be driving (8 hours ) up from the reservation.

I am grateful that TIP's big Heroes with Heart event was a huge success!  I'm so glad it's over and went so well. We could not of done it without the help of some great people - espeically Danielle! 

As I anticipated, with the Heroes event over - it is hard not to obsess about what lies ahead.  I'm trying to stay positive.  Only a few major break downs so far!  Like when I got my new phone and I couldn't  figure out how to use the touch screen - which was the cause of a major emotional,  tear-filled morning last week. 

My Vitamin D bloodwork came back with no suprise that I am WAY low.  So now its 5,000 IU's a day so I can get my number up to 65 from 25, hopefully before surgery.  I continue to see my counselor and that is helping, along with my al-anon family that has been a huge support for 23 years. 

So - my pre-op appointment is Tuesday afternoon the 24th.  We return from MN on Monday the 30th, I have some final tests done on Tuesday, December 1st and Surgery is Wednesday the 2nd.  I will be at the Gresham Surgery Center for the operation and will be home that afternoon.  Then we just wait for pathology results.  Greg does know how to update this blog and has agreed to leave a post right after surgery.

Thank you for your continued prayers, positive thoughts and good wishes!

Love to all!
