Luck of the Irish

Hope the sun is shining wherever you are.  We are expecting a couple of days of sunshine followed by 5 days of rain.  We have all kinds of outdoor projects to complete but our two days of sun are interrupted by more doctor appointments.  I'm going to a clinic today to see about a treatment for knee pain that is supposed to be an alternative to knee replacement.  It seems that the minute I knew I didn't have cancer my knee decided to go south.  I've been hobbling around for the past two days.  I do not want surgery because I'm afraid my lung condition could cause complications, mainly pneumonia.  So I want to put it off as long as possible.

Tomorrow I go back to see the lung specialist.  I guess he's going to go over the results of the PET scan again.  I have his referral to the gastrointerologist. 

Mike is still working on his independence.  He's working hard to limit his phone calls and so far so good.  Ron kept him busy all weekend attending baseball games so I guess we really haven't challenged him.

My daughter hosted a St. Patrick's celebration to celebrate my extremely good luck!  We had Irish stew, Bailey's brownies, Irish soda bread and another dish I can't recall the name of right now.  All the kids were there and Piper.  Jamie's in-laws are here from Alabama and we just had a great time.  I love my family and I'm so blessed!

Disney has a new version of Dumbo that will be out the end of the month.  I've never taken Piper to a movie but I'm going to see if her mom and dad will let me take her to see Dumbo.  I don't feel I've had much time with her lately.  She's changing every day.  The time goes too fast.

I hope my luck continues and we find the answer to my lung problem.  It would be wonderful to feel 100% again but I'm not complaining.  I know it could be worse.
