been a long time, eh? time has passed quickly here.... all said, this is a good thing.

mom had her last surgery-- docs removed her thyroid which was cancer-suspicious. although scans say she's now clear all of all cancer, she goes for a PET-scan to make sure. either way, mom says she's done. she'll probably take an oral radiation type pill.... but we need to learn more about it before it's definite. she doesn't want to go thru any crap again and of course, this pill would almost guarantee some sort of crap! the decision is hers.

she's in great spirits now... her next biggest thing is getting to the "cancer dentist" to fit her for dentures. she can't put her old lowers in so chewing food is laborous and something she chooses not to do. she's still got her peg-tube, so she's getting nutrition (and, has gained 2 pounds)! of course she wants to eat real food-- who can blame her for that?! so she's excited for this dentist visit. unfortunately it's not until february-- popular guy.

you know how god always puts you on a path no matter what you think about that path? i've never 2nd-guessed mine..... it's been stressful, but i just can't question his will; it's not in me. well, i'm talking about my getting a job. been at this for a year and a half-- close but no cigar-- until this week. if all goes well, i start january 4th. god knew what was still coming for me so those other jobs didn't pan out.... he knew when the time was right so i'm hoping for everything working out. but-- there's always that maybe..... so i'm just going about my days waiting to hear the deal is done without any kind of worry at all. it feels good to be at peace with all this. so much is on the line but i've got peace. thank you heavenly father!

it'll probably be another few months before i write again. merry christmas everyone! happy new year.... and all that good stuff.
