June 6, 2008

I just finished reading the blog out loud to Dennis and boy did I notice some typo's and repeats....sorry about that, I'm sure you understand my current state of mind. (Don't say, "She sounds 'normal' to us".)

Last Saturday Jay took Dennis fishing and they didn't have the best of luck like they usually do, so I guess they're going to try it again tomorrow. They're going to Current Creek, by Strawberry.
Dennis is really looking forward to it. We surely appreciate how wonderful Jay and Lynne have been to us. Tonight they surprised us and brought Chinese dinner from our favorite restuarant and we ate together. They claimed this was how they like to spend their Friday nights, hard to believe they could be that desperate! After we ate we sat around and visited. They are great!

This morning Lynne drove me into the Pain Clinic to have my back
procedure (radio-frequency) done. The dr. said I should have immediate results if it were to work, but it could take up to 2 weeks before it all kicks in. Unfortunately, the pain is still there, but hopefully by 2 weeks from now I will have some relief in the back. I was so hoping it would help the neuropathy in my foot, but it didn't make a bit of difference (yet). Darn, I had some hopes of it working. Oh well, if wishes were fishes and all that.

Dennis mowed the lawn after working all day and is still going strong. What an amazing guy he is! I lay in bed all day (actually, it was the dr's orders) and I only had a couple of pain pills. I don't know how Dennis keeps going after all he's been through....I have a good idea though, that he is being blessed in that department by our Heavenly Father because of all the prayers that have gone up in his behalf. Thank you once again.

June 19th is the day he starts chemo, so we'll throw in an update or two between now and then so I can remember years from now what was going on in my crazy mind at this time in our lives.

Good night and we'll be a-talkin'

Marilyn and Dennis

To the Eldredges --- See ya'll next weekend!!
