Back from Denmark

Well, I had a fabulous trip to Denmark! What a beautiful old country and Mogens and Grethe showed me a wonderful time. I had time to see their two girls and their families and they had wonderful birthday celebrations for Lene and me. After all the kids went home, Mogens and Grethe took me on a whirlwind tour of their country and found such amazing hotels to stay in (a 16th century farm and a 16th century mansion house right on the square of the oldest town, Rige (700 AD)  in Denmark.)

But after I got home, things came crashing down...my balance is off and now my right arm is hurting worse than the left one did. I am worried that we didn't get all of the tumor with the two operations and it has moved to the right side of C6. I have MRI and PET scans scheduled for the beginning of next week. Keep your fingers crossed that they won't find the worst it can be.

For the first time I am really scared!!!

69th Birthday



Here I am in Denmark celebrating my 69th birthday with 17 of my Danish family ranging in age from 18 months to 75 years. We celebrated with gifts, some hand-made presents, and Danish pastries. Ten years ago no one would have believed I would live 2 years and here I am 10 years later enjoying family, friends, travel, and golf. I am so fortunate to have my wonderful family, friends, and medical team. Thank you all for your love and support. May we spend many more years together.
