Well we got some news today re my hubby's situation.  This ltr came & when I looked at the address I knew it was our major cancer center. We opened it & he's scheduled for his 1st visit/consult with the brachy therapy dr next Friday.  I was please that we didn't have to wait too much longer.   I'm hoping that although this is a consuult, I would think for them to establish if he's a good candidate for brachy, that after that we won't have to wait too much longer after. Satisfying news yet so scary somehow cause I just got to thinking what's going to happen after that, I mean how will our days be, how will he feel, etc. etc.  I have to keep reminding myself to stay focused on the positive that the Lord can bless us with.  I sure hope he can see thru how unsure I am right abt now. Some news on a diff note - I've got a sister that has battled a weight problem for so many yrs.  I came across this seminar taking place at a local hotel here next Sat afternoon.  It's called a 24K Chocolate Skinny party.  Sounds weird huh but here is what it is-there's a woman fr the 3rd season of the Worlds Biggest Loser program, her & her hubby will be talking abt the whole dieting issue, lifestyle, ups & downs etc. etc.  And then there's a health professional who will be talking abt your bodys PH levels & other related diet/health issues.  There's gonna be food & here's the topper-they're gonna have this fruit thing with a huge chocolate fondue.  Supposed to be some company's with maybe products, etc.  Although I don't have a weight issue I'm going to go to support my sisteras I figure we can all use cheerleaders can't we. I've now decided that the burden I have to carry with Lupus is not getting sufficient sleep.  Three nights ago I went to bed at 9:00 p.m., woke up at abt 11:30ish, stayed awake till 4:00 a.m. then slept again till 6:30ish.  Man this is hard to take sometimes.
