Quick note for Feb 2nd on 6th!

Dr. called from University On Monday The 2nd.
He said with all the test they took. He is About 98% sure it is lung cancer, At one point he ran test to make sure it didn't start with Breast Cancer.
I told Him I went off my Morphine Saturday night because it made me feel loopy. He asked, How I felt and I said,
"Good"
"Well there is your Answer!"
Wrong! I really got sick on Monday.
We called the Oncologist On call Monday night. Where I proceeded to tell Him I had gone off the Morphine.
"You can't just go off of it! You have to ween yourself......slowly.
So I'm on my last one, Instead of taking 4 every 12 Hours!
I don't feel loopy, But with My M.S. still trying to get my strength back!

Good Morning Rita,
I am wondering how you are doing today???? I have two more days to complete working 22 days out of a 24 day stretch, and I have been grateful for the work. I LIKE being with people! Imagine that!
When you are feeling well enough, there is a wonderful book I recommend for you to read, called "The Shack" by William P. Young. I think you would really love it. It begins a bit heavy in the first part, but the story builds on itself from there and it is really wonderful. A VERY good read indeed.
Al and I continue to pray for you each morning. When we think of you, we think of a finely wrapped gift that your family has been able to open and enjoy through the years. Oh, the priceless treasures that lie within the beautiful packaging that is you.
We send you an enormous hug on this day, the 17th of February.

Love, Juanita
