For Better Or For Worse

Friday was our 16th wedding anniversary.

In the morning, Liette took me to my appointment with the oncologist. We got the results from my latest blood test, which were encouraging - everything was in the normal range, although some of the values were just on the edge. This is a long way from being cured, but at least it's good news.

In the afternoon we went for my second last radiation therapy session. The therapy is helping - I have less pain and more mobility, but I still have a long way to go before I can even walk unaided.

After that we went on a few errands with Jeremy: taking the lawn mower to be fixed (we needed him to lift it in and out of the car) and buying barbecue accessories (he has a proprietary interest, since he and my niece assembled the new barbecue).

We ended up near one of our favourite "date" restaurants, so we brought him along for our anniversary supper!

Liette is a real blessing to me in this difficult time, with her faithful love and practical help.

    I want you to know that my corps is praying for you! I have many corps folk asking after you each Sunday, and I know that they have been blessed by your blog, as many of them tell me they have read it.

    We will continue praying for all of you!!
