Description

Hi all, Captured this post a few weeks ago when the redbuds first started blooming. Both the redbuds and the dogwoods have been beautiful here in Ky this year, but sadly this cold spell freeze has got a lot of the spring blooming trees and plants and we have a chance of snow for Sunday. I am so ready for the 70 degree weather. I saw my Oncologist on Tuesday and he told me that all was looking good, my blood work, etcetera. The only new thing is the ducts in my liver are just a little bit enlarged and they are going to keep an eye on that, but overall no change and they said I had proved that ER who said I only had 3-4 months to live, wrong. Yeah! I walked out of his office smiling. I'm going to continue the chemotherapy and keep doing what I am scheduled to do. I was up to a 109 lbs. A far cry from the 102 in the past. He told me to enjoy spring and enjoy life and that is what I am trying to do. They are keeping me on my Morphine and I am having to take 2 every 2 hrs for the pain and if needed they will increase the dosage. No more hydrocodone as this effects the liver and that is what I was on and I am also on the Fentanyl Pain Patches. For the past few days I have just felt so good and you all that is a lot to say for me. To get up smile, sing, laugh and want to eat until I drop, whereas a few months ago I was barely getting out of bed. I told you all I was going to fight this and I am! John Edwards wife has the same thing I have so following her news a lot. Thank you all for all your love, encouragement, support and prayers. It means a lot to me. Only post work in this, is a border done in PSP 9 Photo take with Nikon camera. Any and all comments are most appreciated. Hugs Susan~

Perfect color choice for framing these outstandingly beautiful blooms! Spring is definitely there! We are in the 30's and 40's and my hollyhock leaves are frozen :( Ah well, hopefully they are fighters too and will come back. So good to hear that you are keeping the sunny smile on your face and winning the battle!

Beautiful capture. We had the cold snap here and it has badly affected the one thing I wanted to go out and take pictures of. Our wonderful grape crops which produce our excellent Oklahoma wine. Well maybe I'll still go out and take pictures of the devastation. Might be interesting. Glad to hear you are doing so much better! Most excellent news! I could tell a long time ago that you were a fighter and would make them all eat their words!
