My friend Chris Webber put this on my FB wall, I love it!
I got my letter from Duke to get my fundraising started and go back for more tests in June so I am getting closer!
Went to IHop, My Mom and her sister and 2 of her brothers took Grandmama out to eat. It was nice.

They called from Duke to let me know they were setting up next set of appointments for June 18th so I guess I still have a chance and need to start raising money, we used everything saved up on last two trips and gas is now $3.35 here and is much higher there, but that is down from before.
Went to see N'Tranze uptown, Charli ate her peanuts and laid in my lap relaxing.
Les still coughing but fixed bad brake, will do other side next week.

Gina took me to therapy and Nell and Cliff took us to church. Was raining and Les still sick.
Got shocking new that Kerry no longer works for Ballentine!

Les was too sick today and slept, he said he is going to try to work but I don't know if he will be able to. Gina is going to take me to therapy because the back brake show has messed up and Les is unable to fix but thinks he can drive to work, it sounds awful! Charli and I ate Birthday Cake ice cream and she told me it wasn't anyone's birthday so we sang Happy Birthday to her and I gave her a pretend gift, we laughed. She makes me laugh and so does Ames.

Been busy today! Got Hep B second shot before therapy (Made 30 exercise minutes) then had to take Les to Dr with upper respiratory infection and had to go to dentist to get wisdom tooth filled. Guess we have to go get his meds and something to eat soon. I lost 3 more lbs to weigh under 125 now...
Still no word from Duke but have seen most tests results online through the site.

Kept kids today while Trey worked extra hours, I am working on 10th dishcloth since I started! Charli likes to watch me crochet them. Felt pretty good today but Les has cold for last 3 days.

I started exercising with mask on and that helps last longer on treadmill, it is not a great thing to wear but works for high liters of O2 I need, using 15 to walk. Several of my tests are back and seem to be OK, especially the one I was concerned about
Ames is saying many words now and bringing diaper when he is wet. Gina sent me video of him on potty, so funny!

Charli had a cute little show at school tonight where she wore a US flag so Gina got her these cut boots to wear. She did a really good job! I have been very busy today, therapy, dentist and there, have to go back to dentist because I have a cavity in left bottom wisdom tooth, Yuck! He said it is because I have had this dry mouth that it popped up so fast.

Found these pictures of the furnished apartments Les and I stopped by called The Hamptons, I sure would Love to live here! The kitchen is small but but has a garden tub in but baths and a screened porch. They even provide linens! Have washer and dryer, too!!
Ames is now calling me Meme and giving kisses!

Home from North Carolina! Took about same actual time to do interstate and rack roads because we made fewer stops and did a quick lunch instead. The Barium Swallow was not near as bad as last time, Elaine was my nurse and several of the people remembered us!
Was a little worried after talking to doctor but after test not so much. Found a wonderful place I would love to live! It is beautiful and 2 bedrooms, dining room and screened in porch. They blew my vein out doing the kidney test and it looks terrible! I also have one from blood gas and small one from blood draw. Laurie did my breathing test and said diffusion down 45% which is Not good.
Cora had an adventure, too, we dropped her at my MIL's before we left and a few minutes later the ADT man opened door and let her out! She has a chip and they found her so we picked up as we got home.

Felt better than I have in awhile so I worked on my dishtowels ans finished several pairs of earrings to sell!
I have a knot on my knee and couldn't exercise, though. Les got off Predinisone the weekend and woke up with swollen hand Sunday, doctor told him to take more.

Rainy day, getting ready to go Tuesday to NC, I hope gas doesn't cost too much!

YEAH! Found the old blogger interface!
It always makes me do a double take when things change, I like the way posts were before, don't know why they have to change! Decided to make dishclothes at Duke, made one tonight and turned out good. Nice and portable and will make good gifts! Ate at China Garden, love the cheesy shrimp!

I can't believe I found this! I had a brown one, my heart broke when my Mom throw it away! Pinned it on Pinerest.

I was queasy after I got dressed and stayed home. Les fixed pork chops beans and corn and that was so good.
