and Tumerous Observations

My original doctor had to paint Easter eggs before making his dye-egg-nosis. At Overlook, they tried to give me an I.V. but it was all in vein. Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food coloring. The doctor says I'm OK, but I feel like I've dyed a little on the inside.

Proverbs 17:22 Be Joyful A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 God's power is perfected in weakness And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

My cancer specialist told me he never gets to sleep, because he's an on-col-ogist. I don't find health-related puns funny anymore since I started suffering from an irony deficiency. In the emergency room they gave me a powerful EKG, It took awhile to get rid of that nasty electrical charge Id been carrying but now

I'm ex-static!

The phlebotomist at Overlook Hospital seemed so agitated; I asked him Whats needling you? The doctors and nurses are great at St. Barnabas. They take pains to prescribe relief. I told my oncologist that I want to sew up my own incisions and he said suture yourself! Speaking about sewing, I have to go now. Im headed to the dress shop. Its been suggested I get new material!! Thanks for you your cards, visits and prayers. Tomorrow we find out if post operative radiation is needed. Were very thankful for Gods Grace through this difficult time.
