ReneeAnn's Journal

     Going to talk about Naomi's wedding here. Made the decision to rent the Civic Arena today for the wedding and reception. We will do both there in one place. Her wedding is Dec. 5, of 09. Cost of the place is $1300. The food is going to be soups and deli sandwhiches. I am asking the ladies in my life to each make a crock pot of soup. I will buy sub buns and have shaved ham, turkey and beef, along with the condiments. We will also have a few salads. I am going for a very simple menu. I have hires a couple of friends to man the kitchen. The cake is being made by a neighbor that lives in our area. The going cost of cake is $1.25 per serving. The cake will cost $275.00. I am shooping around for a DJ the three I have checked on so far price out at $600.00 Today I planned out a tenative schedule and facts, info for all involved so everybody knows all the same things and we are on the same page. Her wedding is winter wonderland theme. This is going to be a pretty big event expecting 200 to 225 people. thats about what i know for now.

I just want to have a good handle on things. We did have a good time at the bridal Show and she got several goody bags.

     Many of you know but for those who do not. Last night I ended up having terrible pain in left lower quadrant of abdomen. I really thought it was a kidney stone, even though my urine is clear as water. I drink two bottles of water a day. Anyways after a Cat Scan was done and an ultra sound it was found that I have a mass surounding what is left of an overy. I had a hysterectomy in 2005. They took everything but that part of the ovary. My hope is that the surgeon will be able to do a laproscopic procedure, remove it and that will be that. It will be sent to pathology to be determined if it is malignant or benign. We will deal with it whatever it is. I am not worried at this point and am hopeful. They did give me six Vicodin to bring home if I need them for pain. Have had no pain today. They also gave me a script for Vicodin, which Cary did fill today. So I do have pain meds that are stronger if I need them. To be honest I really felt bad for the physician assistant when he came into the room to tell us about the mass, he was darn near teary. Before we left he told me that he hoped it really worked out okay for me.

    My own doctor got the ER report and copy of test results and by 10 AM she had called here to talk to me this morning. That was nice. She too is very concerned that it is cancerous. The two boys did not take the news so well, they both got teary. Daughter got very quiet did not tear up. She knows I am a tough bird. LOL Honestly it is the quiet ones you have to watch the closest. My plan is to just carry on as if I know nothing, and nothing has changed until i have a real reason to worry.

    I did cut the paper for my recipe cards, for the swap on Thursday. Cary is watching the dance competition on tv tonight. I did not get to watch much of the Globe Awards. That is all for now. Ethan and Naomi both started back to college today.
