Sunday

Good Evening All! I have been in Charlotte since Thursday evening, but am now back in Clinton for a short stay. Cindy has appointments on Tuesday morning, and I plan to go back up for the appointment with the radiation oncologist, and we will see how things go from there. The recovery trail continues to be a slow ride this go-round, and Cindy has had recurring muscle spasms this weekend. I suspect that some of the impetus for the spasms, in addition to the fact that these are typically part and parcel of back surgery, is her activity, which has increased this weekend. In addition to her therapy yesterday, we went outside (she was in her wheel chair and I was pushing her). We repeated that scenario today. The weather was just beautiful with a nice breeze blowing yesterday, and it was just as pretty today, just quite a bit warmer. Please see the adventurers below.










I don't know how the photographer managed to get in that last picture. He must have long arms, and it's beginning to look like his hair is coming back.......all the way back. Anyway, that sure is a pretty girl in the blue and green outfit isn't it? This area is just outside the main entrance to Carolinas Medical Center. Prior to our going out, our friends, Dave and Debbie came for a visit. They continue to be such a blessing and an encouragement to us. They have certainly made this lengthy out-of-town stay much more tolerable for both Cindy and I. We do not yet know when Cindy's radiation will begin, or when she may be coming home. Hopefully, we will have a number of questions answered on Tuesday, and will advise all of our prayer partners. You have all been so faithful with your thoughts and prayers, and I really don't know where we would be without God's grace and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Please continue to pray for wisdom for Cindy's doctors and other attendants, for healing for Cindy, for travel mercies for me, and for endurance, strength, courage, and wisdom for both of us. God bless each of you!
