Hi everyone,
Just a quick update on my most recent appointment and scan. My appointment, which was right before Christmas, went great. I still have a 2x2cm fibrous thing in the right atrium of my heart. That's old news. I'm coming up on my second year of being on coumadin. Boo. I just keep praying that it will eventually flush itself out to a non-harmful place (like, not my brain please!).
I also had a PETScan on the 30th, with results on the 31st already. It is still completely clear. Woohoo! I've been officially cancer free for over a year now, with my one year remission anniversary closing in fast.
God is so good. This past year has been such an emotional roller coaster. Last January, I was still terminal, but with hope because of my most recent scan. A few scant months later, I was deemed in remission. That was one of the happiest days of my life! Which was followed by a terrible day, namely, the day Brett Favre retired from the GB Packers. Sigh. "Priorities Annie!" said Kari on the phone as I cried...
I completed 37 credits of college last year between spring, summer and fall (wow!). I will be completing even more this year as I look forward to finally graduating spring of '10. I am so ready to move forward with my life now that I know I have one to look forward to...
Fast forward through a fun-filled trip to st louis for a reliv converence b.favre getting traded to the jets aaron rodgers is green bay's quarterback annie attends the cowboys and vikings games at lambeau field and the metrodome respectively interlaced with visits to kari-son and benny, school and work finished with the packers not even coming close to the playoffs a fabulous christmas a pretty cedar chest and getting sprayed with champagne at billy frogs while some random guy on a bike makes a daredevil jump over a firy pit in which he could have fallen and burnt to a crisp according to the animation scenes that fox demonstrated shortly beforehand...phew!!!
Have a great, Christ-filled 2009! I love each and every one of you.
Blessings,
Annie
