I had an idea that I would post "What I'm grateful for" each night...before I go to bed.... but lately I'm so tired I don't have the energy to do it.
Chase's graduation party was very nice and I'm so glad that daddy and Patsy were able to be here. They were a huge help to me. They even swept and mopped my floors (not sure anyone has ever done that for me... ..unless I paid them).
So, are you ready to hear the latest? I had an ultrasound on my Thyroid on Wed and on Thursday they called and said I have a mass on my thyroid and they want to do a biopsy. YES, I'm freaking out ... but trying to remain calm. I'm going to be out of town for the first two weeks of July and now this hanging over my head. The lump I felt in my throat a week ago now seems much larger ...I know it's all in my head but I swear it feels like it's choking me.
One bright note is my sister Kim is going to Convention with me. I'm very excited!! If you're a Stampin' Up1 demonstrator and reading this ..and going to Convention ... you will see a different side of me with Kim. She's my sister ....she loves me and I can be myself with her. We laugh, cry and fight with every fiber of our being.....and by the end of the week we'll be ready to pull each others hair out. But after the fact ...it's what makes us laugh the hardest. Once she got so mad at me she left the store and paid for a rental car to go home (and I searched for her forever ...until she finally decided to call me and tell me what she'd done)....I still can't believe she did that!!! I think we've both matured since that episode :) And she's learned to go light on the perfume .... some perfumes give me an instant headache and if the headache isn't treated I become very grumpy!!!
As for my eyes ....I have more faith now than ever. But my sight is still blurry. I went back to the doctor this week and they made some changes ...did a little procedure to help out the dryness and they assured me everything looks good ...I just need to get over the hump. Hopefully in six to 8 weeks I'll be as good as new..... Kim will be my eyes at Convention ....picture taking, note taking etc.
Gotta run....
p.s. thanks for all the comments and emails!! If you leave a comment on here ...sometimes I can't reply back to you. I'm not sure why ....but in the return address it says no reply. If you'd like me to reply back .... you're welcome to send me an email.

You always make me laugh. I will keep you in my prayers that the lump is nothing more than a lump! Prayers to Chase that he will have the courage to start walking. Have a fun time at convention and w/ your sister. Well if you come home bald, you won't have to worry about styling it everyday!!!
angie, you can live withiut a thyroid. The newest meds are great. I will pray that is nothingto worry about. For now just take it one day at a time Little steps are good. Hugs
Angie - know what you are going through. They found a lump on dh's thyroid a few month's back during a carotid ultrasound. Went in for more tests and a biopsy and it is just that - a lump. He does think he is going to have it removed over the winter as it could lead to problems down the road if it grows. I hope your results will be the same. Have a GREAT time at convention!
I just read your personal post for the first time in ages, I forget about it. Bless your heart!! So sorry that you and your family are going through so much. Got you on my prayer list. Keep your faith.
