Patience has never been my strong suit. Never.
Well, Jim and I are learning quickly that we have to adopt it as a middle name.
The biopsy of fluid (ascites) drawn from my abdomen region, and a PET scan will be done next week.
The week after that, the doctors will decide if we have enough information or if I have to go through a bone biopsy, as well. Learning what a bone biopsy entails sort of encourages the development of patience. Even so, I want to know what exactly I’m facing, and what treatment we’ll be pursuing.
Meanwhile, there are writing days, beach walks, admiring the neighbors’ flowers, reading, more writing, and of course praying, practicing qigong, and…oh yes, forcing myself to be patient.
And the most important activity of all, being thankful for Jim and my kids and all of you. Love you all so much.
Here is some beauty from our local Southern California beach.
