Thanksmas

And a lovely Thanksmas evening it was!  I have 2 pictures to share of everyone around the dinner table.  The first is a candid shot of all but 3 of us digging in.  My father is on the right next to me, and my sister-in-law on my right with my niece, Leeann, next to her.  Across from Leeann is her boyfriend, Matt, and next to him my nephew, Danny.  Then there is Carol and Roger (my parent's best friends!).

This next shot has everyone in it!

I just loved being together with everyone there!!  The time just flew by!  

The next day, Wednesday December 5th, was my doctor's appointment.  Tim and I, along with Nicole, drove into Detroit for my appointment with my urologist, Dr. Alanee.  He did a cystoscopy on my bladder, and I honestly thought it looked much redder than I'd seen it.  He explained and showed us that the red was just the blood vessels and were good indicators of good blood profusion.  It also made the scars from all the biopsies I've had very easy to see.  He said everything looked good to him and to come back in 6 months.  The urine cytology came back with the same results I've been having - atypical cells - cannot rule out carcinoma.  So, while I would love to hear a report like, "all normal cells - definitely cancer free!", I continue to be reminded not to place my trust in anything but the Lord.  And while I'm doing that, I'm living life to the fullest!  Next post will be about my trip to New York City with Nicole!!
