Almost 2010

Well, we still have snow on the ground but most of the main streets are dry. The neighborhoods are another story. We've been lucky that the last few days have been above freezing so the big melt is going on. It's not doing much to the really big snow drifts but at least you can get around town. There is more snow forecast for tomorrow, tomorrow night and Wednesday night. This time it's only supposed to be 1-2 inches. As long as we don't get freezing rain and ice, it will be great.

Several days ago, I started having headaches. All day and night. Not necessarily a regular headache but more like pressure. I remember commenting that my scar was kind of hurting. The day after Christmas, I noticed a swollen spot by my scar. By Sunday, it was still there but getting bigger and squishy. Called the neurosurgeon's office and they had me come in. My doctor wasn't there but another surgeon looked at and felt it. Yep, I've got a leak. Probably in the patch that they put on the sac around my brain. They made me an appointment with my own surgeon next Tuesday for him to look at it and decide what to do. So, I'm asking that you pray for me. Well, specifically that the leak would stop and not get any bigger. If it's still there next week, they said they might have to do another MRI or CT scan. I don't want that because it will be after the first of the year and I'd be starting my insurance deductible all over again. So, please pray.

2010 is almost here and 2009 seems to have flown by. Our daughter graduated from college, got a full time job, moved out into her own apartment and has recently become engaged. My parents took the whole family on a cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary. We made a trip to Michigan for my husband's class reunion. I had surgery on this thick head. 2009 was a good year but I look forward to the year ahead. God has a plan for us and I can't wait to see what it is!
