I think Lynn has too many doctors cause somehow his ENT doctors that told us he would be having surgery forgot to tell the surgeon!!!! For the last month we have been waiting on what we thought was a surgery date for Lynn’s tumor. Friday we had an appointment with the surgeon and he was, wait a minute, we need to look this over some more. I do want the surgeon to be comfortable with his decision, cause it is major surgery, I just wished we had not been told the surgery was happening now. We were all ready, had the plans that a person has to make for someone under going surgery, time off from work for me and our two sons, neighbors to watch after the house, neighbors to check on Lynn after he got home so I could work, the boarding kennel lined up, the whole drill. When we saw the surgeon it was like being hit in the stomach with a fist. It just knocks the breath out you. Well, what happens now is on our mind. The surgeon is putting him on medication to help control the spinning vertigo until a decision is made. He may not do surgery at all but do the Gamma Knife radiation. He is consulting with Lynn’s Neurosurgeon to make a decision. Lynn is of the mind set that he wants the tumor out of his head instead of radiation but that may not happen.

Please know that we do want what is best for Lynn and not rush the surgeons decision but we feel as if ENT was ahead of their selves when they told us he was fixing to have the surgery. Like I said too many doctors not on the same page.

So what are we too do? Well we are taking the camper and going to our favorite camping spot. We will just be gone from Tuesday morning to Thursday morning but we will enjoy it. Hope all of you do something you enjoy this week.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Time sure gets away from me when it comes to blogging. I work 5 nights a week and my two days off are during the week so most of the time I don’t even feel like I have had days off. I love my job put sometimes it feels all consuming.

Lynn has had a lot of spinning vertigo the last few months caused by the brain tumor. We saw the doctor last week and now we are waiting on a surgery date. The neurosurgeon feels it needs to come out now as the symptoms have increased and we know the tumor is growing. The neurosurgeon wants an otologist, ear surgeon, to do the surgery and it is taking some time to get everyone involved scheduled. As soon as I know someting I will let my online friends know.

I have been doing quiet a bit of piecing on my days off and I am loving it. I can sit and sew but I can’t stand up to quilt because of my knee. I see my orthopediest tomorrow and I do hope that he can help this pain I have been in for three months. Last year was the year of the shoulder pain and this year is the year of the knee pain. Hopefully next year won’t be a year of any pain.

I finished my Terri W inspired quilt today so I am going to post it as my WIP. I love how it turned out.

I have another one running through my brain to start on next.

Here is a pic of Jazzy that we see every morning. It shows exactly how much she loves her food.

Her food is good to the last drop cause she licks that bowl clean every morning.

Well, I guess that is all I have for now. I hope everyone has a great week. I’m off to fix a coconut pie for supper cause that’s what Lynn thinks he wants. His wish is my command. lol

I can’t believe it has been so long since I posted. I work a lot and don’t have a whole lot of time but I do find time to read blogs. This post has a mixed bag of stuff in  it.

Here is some pix of flowers in my yard.

Now for some quilting pix. This quilt has been on my machine for way to long and probably will be on a lot longer.

Now aren’t these pretty?

I got the recipe off Judy L’s blog. I made three of them last Saturday cause it is what my nephew from Alabama wanted and I just got through making 3 more cause we are having a cookout tomorrow and the same nephew will be there.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers Day.

We have had a lot of rain and some cool weather here. not as wet nor as cool as some of you. I thought I would post a couple more pix of some flowers around our house.

This is the first pic I took of my double bloom pink azalea on April 30th. Don’t it look pretty?

This is the one I took today after more of the blooms have opened. It is really pretty now.

The next is a purple Clematis. It don’t really bloom all that long but it is pretty while it does.

Well that is it for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Well maybe I exagerated about the fling but just wanted to share some spring pix of plants around my house.

First is the dogwood outside my studio window. We have several dogwoods but this one is my favorite.

Next is my purple azalea. I love this color.

I think you see it every year but here it is again.

Here is the red azalea. I think the ice storm got to it some. It needs some serious pruning.

Now for the bling part of my post, check out my new Crocs. I love Croc shoes but I wish I wouldn’t get so many emails showing all the new styles and colors. Shoes are one of my weaknesses along with fabric and books and no telling what else.

Aren’t they cute?

Well I guess that is about it. Lynn and I are going to Mountain View, Ar this Thursday so I can take a beginning medical terminology class at a community college there. We have some friends there we will visit with too. I’m looking forward to that. I will be back Saturday for work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful Easter.

Here is Jazzy in her new Easter dress.

Isn’t she cute? Have a wonderful day.

I just saw that it has been over a month since I last posted. It seems all I do is work, either here or at the clinic. I think I will slow down some cause I haven’t been able to quilt much. WAAAHHH!!!!!! I also have too many projects going. Why don’t I just finish what I am working on before wanting to do something else?  Because I am scatterbrained I guess.

Here is some pix of some things I have been messing around with, not any of them that is finished.

This is a pix of a free quilt pattern from the Robert Kaufman website called Silent Beauty. I want to finish this one for my SIL whose DH died last year. She will love it.

I made blocks for Karen and loved how fast they made up so I had to make a few to see how they looked. I’m kinda thinking about these for a new quilt for our bed.

A couple days ago Suzanne show a quilt she had made over the weekend. Of course I had to order the pattern. It is Slideshow by Atkinson designs. I see this made from gorgeous Batiks. Wouldn’t that be gorgeous?

Well, I need to get ready to go to work and I hope to not wait so long before posting again. I sure hope everyone has a great week whatever you are doing.

My niece sent me a picture of Chad’s arm. He pulled a skillet of grease off the stove last Tuesday and burned his arm, chest, stomach, leg and the tops of his feet. The arm has the worst burn on it. Thank Goodness he wasn’t burned worse than he was.. I hope the pix don’t offend anyone.

I hope all of my friends have a wonderful Valentine’s day. I have to work this afternoon but I am enjoying it this morning. I just wanted to show you a few pix of Jazzy in her new outfit.

She is in her favorite spot, the back of the couch looking out the window. Pardon the nose prints on the glass, they are a permanent decoration at our house.

Needless to say she is our pride and joy and spoiled rotten.

Have a great day.
