A Day of Rest????

We had a very "active "week-end as I had described in my last post.  Some of it we did, some we decided wasn't worth the effort.

Roy worked on Friday.  I think it made him feel good to be back at work.  They have been so good to tell him that he can work when he feels like it and when he can't work not to worry about his job, it will be there when all this is over.

Roy did get up and umpire his 3 ballgames Saturday morning.  I was worried about how he would handle it.  I knew he'd be ok for the first two but the third was after the weather started getting warmer and that made me nervous.  I got up and went to watch Kassidy (the 13 yr. old granddaughter) play softball.  She had a tournament this week-end and had 4 games on Saturday.  That game was over about the time Roy's 3rd game was to start, so I went to make sure he was ok.  Although I'm not sure what I thought I could do about it if he weren't.  I certainly couldn't demand he leave the field but it made me feel better to talk to him.

We were to help Shana and Lena Pope Home do some volunteer work at the Rangers game on Saturday night.  Roy got home Saturday afternoon and by the time we were to leave to go to the game we decided it probably wasn't such a good idea.  Not because of the chemo but the parking lot that we were to park in was a long way from the stadium.  He didn't think his knees would hold out to walk that far and I didn't really feel I needed the exercise...ok, that may not be the truth.  So, we went back to watch Kasssidy play
ball.  It was a beautiful Saturday evening to be out at a ballgame.  That's what we call normal.

After church this morning we joined our care group for lunch.  This is a blessed group that we have had the priviledge to be a part of every since we moved back to Texas.  We love this group of people and enjoy being with them so much.  It was fun to be able to catch up with everyone as we had missed a couple of months because of other activiites.  I then took off to Stephenville for my aunt's 96th birthday.  Roy had volunteered to go with me but I knew he would much rather watch Kassidy play ball (only 3 games today).

So, we had a very active week-end with no side effects from the chemo....that is our prayer that when the side effects do start they will be controllable and minimum.  Please keep the prayers going....

Remember God is in control and He is holding our hand.
