Weds-Artshow with your Chemo!


The whole lobby of the Rockefeller Center was full of artwork by/for/about cancer patients. Deb, who is a very good artist, enjoyed looking these prints over. Here you can see her new yellow hat made for summer operations: like the 105 feeling outside today!

We had a long session at the Jones Eye Clinic checking out the eye damage the cancer/chemo might have caused. Deb got a fairly good report after excellent care by 2 docs and a tech.


Then back to the MRI area. Passing by the grand piano in the lobby we enjoyed chatting with one of the volunteers who comes every day to share their talents. The sound of that grand filling the twelve story atrium is...well, grand!

On another note, some of you saw the pix of the pix  of the seabird in the marshes of Glynn, which is a poem by the poet laureate of Georgia Sidney Lanier. At least one dear reader thought we had named the Bird in the photo 'GLYNN'. Guess I need to edit my posts more carefully!


Finally we were done and could get away from the UAMS campus. Deb was hungry, so we tried a local spot we had never been to before. We always wondered what a purple cow tasted like, so we found out! Just like a black or brown one!

Tomorrow we start with the 5:15 am PET, which is another nuclear test where Deb will be injected with another radioactive substance and get 'to glow' for the machine. Now can you understand why Deb always has a certain glow about her? Her complexion has a half-life! (a radioactive term) That quality is never mentioned at most cosmetic counters.


Another of our prayer angels sent us this blessing. Would you join him in prayer for us tomorrow? Thanks!


This prayer from Ephesians came to mind today as I prayed for you....
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the angels and saints  to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."


Tomorrow afternoon we meet with Dr van Rhee to map out our next adventure. Wonder how it will turn out?

Blessings!
