God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be
carried into the midst of the sea...

The Lord of hosts is with us.

-- Psalm 46:1,2

Hello Everyone:

Time for a quick update.

I have been seeing a reflexologist and generally have been feeling great. My energy levels are much better now and I have been exercising regularly working back up to a normal routine of sorts. I am able to run again and after a short jog this morning, the thought occurred to me that today is the one year anniversary of when the first symptoms of the first tumor appeared. A year already!
Wow!

We had a bit of a scare recently when the area around the surgeries began to swell and be painful. This was a bit disconcerting. But, the swelling has gone down and most of the pain with it. Today, it just itches. We are watching this new development closely.

I am due for an EEG on the 18th which I am hoping will be free of any concerns. If so, I may get to drop the Dilantin medication which I have been taking for 10 months as a precaution against seizures. I will let you know how that goes.

Meanwhile, our home has not sold yet. We plan to leave it on the market a while longer yet and then pull it and wait until things improve.

God is faithful and continues to meet every need. You really know it is God when there is nothing you can do yourself and must trust Him to make a way where there doesn't seem to be a way. He is especially good at that you know. I am just grateful as all get out to be one of His kids and be loved so much.

Love you all,
Tom
