| Thoughts from the sunroom |
Good morning! Today I'm feeling
Thankful
-- for our Grace's bounce-back. All weekend she was feeling so poorly, not eating. We thought, "This is it." A little after 7am we were standing at the vet's front door, bracing for the worst.

Thankful, too
-- for good news from Tom's neurologist Tuesday morning. His manner is less than stellar and in fact, dismisses me like one would a random house fly. While he didn't share much about the results of the MRI's, he allowed there's no evidence of a brain tumor. Thank you, Jesus!
Now we wait for his referral to an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist.
Sad
-- at coverage of the sinking of the S. S. United States. The cheers. The mean metaphors (iykyk).
I understand why they did it, but watching it sink beneath the waves while the Coast Guard played 'Taps' was absolutely heartbreaking.
For a minute, I was still that little girl standing at the rail of our ship in New York Harbor, watching as my parents explained, "That is the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic."
Well, the little girl at my feet is impatient to be fed, so I'm going to wrap this up.
I hope you all are enjoying a sweet day. Let's chat soon!
Hugs, Myra
Hi Myra, I am so sorry to hear about your little dog being under the weather, but am rejoicing that she is back to her old self. Also happy to hear about your husband's results. That was a heavy thing for you both to have carried. I know what you mean about doctors. I always have my husband go in with me to the doctors these days. They treat me so differently when he is there. They listen and explain things. If I am by myself it's like I don't exist. Its awful. I am sorry you have to start the whole going to specialists and not having a clear cut diagnosis. Sometimes for me, I don't want to have a diagnosis but it's better than still having the problem and not knowing. I have a good feeling thought that they will discover the issue soon. This may sound really off the wall, but you mentioned that Tom was being tested for brain tumor. Is he having a lot of headaches or light sensitivity? Once years ago I went through this 6 month spell of constant headaches that would not leave. At times I had to wear sunglasses in the house. I did everything, no diagnosis. They just kind of shook their heads and left it at that. Finally I went to the ER and the doctor said that the pressure in my brain was elevated. And that they actually called the condition: "pseudo brain tumor" because it has all the same symptoms. Apparently I was told that this has nothing to do with your normal blood pressure. It is a separate measurement. The solution was very easy. He gave me 3 months of glaucoma medication and it brought it back to normal. Please don't think I am trying to give medical advice, I know how dangerous that can be, I just wanted to share in case it might help him and possibly give you a question to ask when you go to the ENT. I hope you both have a happy day ahead! :)
