Well, I am getting bad about writing in my journal. I was just busy and actually didn’t feel well all the time. I am doing physical therapy for my back and it is slow going, but I think I am finally progressing albeit very slowly.

The pathologist had called me the following morning of my biopsy and he told me it was just a ruptured cyst and no cancer. I knew it wouldn’t be, but it is always good to have the final results. I also had an xray for my cough that has been lingering too long, and it was ok too. It is just that doctors are on the high alert once you have been diagnosed with cancer, so they are also checking for other things besides besides just possible pneumonia. Radiation can damage the lungs and cause coughing too, but I just got what has been going around with it just lasting longer than most. It is still bothersome to have a cough and back issues because I really wanted to press forward to a healthy regime. It will be soon.

I did pick up a couple of clients this week, with one of them as permanent week day assignments. The one got a new puppy and needed her taken out twice a day, and the other a sitting situation for the weekend. Then I had some regulars call me and I am very booked this weekend. The busiest I have ever been! Pete will be helping me with one because two of them are over night stays. The others are drop ins to feed and play with.

I am feeling much better these last couple of days, so I am enjoying my pet visits and such. It has been warm today and I even took a walk with a neighbor in between my dog clients. It is really quite a challenge to get to the different houses because all of Los Osos is dug up and there are detours everywhere. All of our cars are dusty and the streets are a mess. At least it is finally getting done, but it will be for a while.

Last Sunday, I got to sing with others as the worship leader decided to do something different to have a choir of singers rather than just a regular worship team. Those who usually play instruments sang instead, so we had three men and three women. It was great. I loved it. It is a wonderful thing to do something different and even God showed up and it was all good.
