Chief Red Cloud 8-10-07

Week 14 and finally I am temporarily out of the white. Have very little of the brown to do before it runs into the horn on the right side. Then some light grey over where the feathers are, then back to the white. ugggg!

I didn't stitch for two days this past week as someone (I am not naming) has been addicted to online gaming again. I downloaded Super Collapse 3 and am to the last level. Wohoo! Don't know why it's so addicting all you do is click on these colored blocks before they reach the top of the screen.

Some great news now. I got a call from the surgeon's office and have an appointment Sept. 10th. YAY!!!! Finally after everything I have gone through this past 10 months to get this far and it's time to meet the surgeon. That means surgery will possibly be soon and it's just in time as this hernia in the center of my stomach is hurting again so that will be repaired and the gastric bypass will be done at that time too. YAY!!! I am just so excited right now. Will keep you updated as when the surgery will be.

On the face front, my rash or whatever it is on my face has disappeared some. YAY!!! Strange after 3 series of steroids it comes right back after I finish them and now it is going away on it's own. Oh well as long as it goes away and stays away then that is all that matters. At least I don't look like I have Chicken Pox or Measles on my face now.

The heat has been HORRENDOUS here with temps up in the high 90's and some days 102 degrees. Thank goodness for the air conditioner cause it's hot, hot, hot and very humid out there. We had a thunderstorm last night and it poured the rain, so you would have thought it would have cooled it down today, NOT! It's still hot and humid out there today, I looked earlier and the temp was 99 degrees. See why I like the snow and cold at least I can cover up when it's too cold but in the heat like this you can only do so much.

Great progress Greg.

Congrats on getting your appointment for the surgery. Crossing fingers everything goes smoothly.

Marita it's just an appointment for the surgeon right now. No surgery date has been schedualed yet. :) Shouldn't be long tho.

CRC looks really good, Greg.

I know what you mean about gaming. I love the games that work like Tetris. I stay away from them, though cuz I know I'd spend inordinate amounts of time playing!

Glad to hear your rash is going away. It's a pain when things like that stick around and around and around.

Your weather sounds a lot like the weather we've been having in IL. Hot, humid, sticky... yucky! Even after it rained here, it was still hot. Yesterday was the first day where it wasn't so humid. Next week it's supposed to be very hot (again).

I know we're not in the same country but this years weather is very strange isn't it.

Chief is looking great and good luck with your visit to the surgeon in September.

So, if you decide you don't want to keep the chief, just go ahead and send it to me..... :)
Sorry about the heat, but I am thinking selfishly and am just glad it isn't here any more!! LOL

Nice job, my friend.
