I still feel terrific and have wonderful clarity at the bridge table.  Thank you God!   Still praying the area that has to be removed will not be as large as I suspect.  Just the fact that he told me no hospital time is encouraging.  Moffitt Center Oct. 9 to find out the rest.  Pray! I know you are!  I thank you.  I love you.  Just talked to mom,  I want her to be here for Marty Bergen 10/1.  No need to come to Tampa for surgery, because we will head home!?  So I asked her to come here and stay with me.  Gloria could possibly pick her up and Linda could bring her home.  Villages is where she lives.  Not that far.  I love my mom. She is a wonderful lady, raising 3 girls (I was the oldest and smartest)  she had a husband that was uninsureable since he had juvenille diabetes and was disabled from a fall in his work.  He was a master cabinet maker/carpenter and kept all the neighbors happy with his remodeling work.  He made all 3 girls a cedar hope chest as a marital gift.  I still have mine and love it, its 45 years old! And its intricate and beautiful  Love you Daddy.  Dead at 55 from that horrible disease.  Anyway mom buried my dad, married my widowed uncle and buried him.  My cousins are so special related and re related.  Love you all. Love my mom,  She plays bridge, they taught me and Gene St. Jean, my xhusband.  I got to play duplicatte with each of them.  My daughter caddied and hated the manners of the bridge players, she now teaches math and plays poker,  but I put her in a game whenever I can and she has masterpoints!  (I am not surprised.)  Tomorrow is the big day.  Benefit #1. Do you think I am uncomfortable, yes I am.  This is very humbling.  However, a party is a party and I have been told it's a good time to drink!  Perfect timing, going back on chemo Wednesday for3 weeks.  Lets party, lets celebrate LIFE!!
