Leah,
When hubby went through the harvesting of his bone marrow and the super duper chemo he was told only 50% of the people survive and they were right half of the people with him died. Dave was one of the lucky ones. Maybe they want to do it now because he is healhier now and it will take a lot out of him and have a better chance of survival and killing off the cancer. I will pray.
Thanks Marsha. I will be looking forward to your answer.
I am sick. My inners hurt like they did after my surgery and my back hurts and I am struggling with fatigue. It would be nice to take a day off work but there is just too much to do.
Well, I need to take off tonight is my youngest grandson's birthday party and I need to get over to my daughter's house. At least I am not cooking the meal tonight.
Ginny

Praying Leah.
I'm glad you get a night off from cooking Ginny.
How are the cakes turning out Marsha? Sounds like a challenge.
The recipe sounds yummy Barb. Did your family enjoy?

Thanks for all your prayers, guys . . I knew I could count on you all to do this.
Ginny, I'm so glad you posted that about your husband . . I didn't realize he'd gone thru that. Was that for multiple myeloma or another kind of cancer?
Yes, the doctor told them they wanted to harvest the bone marrow while Jim was still feeling well and healthy -- I am given to understand that will not be the case after he is on chemo for a while as that will break down the immune system. However, he had said they would freeze the bone marrow then wait to return it back to his body -- wait until his body is no longer responding well to the oral chemo -- maybe 5 years down the road. Right now he is responding well. But Medicare won't allow them to wait. They want it finished right away. So, basically, he will be forced to have this procedure now which he doesn't need yet, or not have it at all. They have an appointment to get it done in 8 weeks, so they have that time to decide whether to go thru with it, or to just take their chances with the oral chemo he's on now. It's a big decision for them. He is doing well right now, and they were told, as you said, that the treatment itself will initially make him very, very sick.
I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Ginny. Great that you had the evening off -- you deserve it! Hope the birthday party went well.
Hi Dee!
Hey Barb, that recipe does sound good . . maybe I'll try it too.
Marsha, meant to tell you early this morning that I have 2 nice big sheet cake pans you can borrow! The biggest one is about a 30"x30", so would make a lot of cake . . . I got them when our daughter got married, tho they were to set the ice sculpture in, not the cake  that sounds like quite a gathering -- lots of God and lots of food and lots of fun  . . . I hope it all goes well for you.
I got all my sewing orders finished today. Garrett left at 11:30 this morning, so I had all afternoon to work on them, and work I did! Over $200 worth of sewing, and I'll be glad to get that money too . . . I was trying hard to get them done czu I need to go to St Louis tomorrow to pick up the flooring from our daughter's. I've got 2 weeks to get the room ready, so I'll come back home tomorrow evening or Friday so I can get started on that.

That's interesting about the bone marrow Leah, but very fustrating about Medicare's stipulations about when to do stuff.
Barb, I'm glad you got a taste of spring! It was nice and warm and sunny here yesterday, but rainy and cooler again today.
R just asked me why the branches weren't pretty today. I finally figured out that she was talking about when they were pretty after the ice storm. That was four months ago; I thought she was comparing them to yesterday. Silly me.
Yesterday my daughter had a dr appt after school 30 min. west of here. She had a school field trip 1.5 miles east of here. But they were scheduled to be back by 3 so that'd work. Except that the bus overheated on the way home. Thankfully they were in the next town east of us already, so they let her call me and I picked her up and we just made it. A group of girls from school went to visit a women's prison. It was very interesting to her.

Can't wait to see the picture Marsha. And good news about getting one cake done.
Leah, did you get all that sewing done?
I took off an hour early from work to make up for all the time I worked over this week. Didn't want to do it tomorrow because my work study needs her time and today faculty are there so it wouldn't effect their scheduled time plus they can answer the phones while I am gone.
No one is home. Yeh! Peace and quiet. I need some down time and am enjoying the quiet.
Ginny

Hi all!
Yes, Ginny, I got caught up on all the sewing . . . now when they pick them up, I'll have them all cleared out -- until some more come in, that is, probably early next week. I'm so glad you got to go home to an empty house and enjoy some down time - you deserved it!
I'm up at Melissa's. We've had a very nice day together, finished off by going to a special program at the girls' school wherein they read from their 'published works' . . Yep, even of htem has had a book published, or printed, with their stories in it, and their name as author!! It was pretty cool . . after that we all went out for pizza and just got home. I'm tired!
The flooring is all loaded in my car, tho, so when I get up & get dressed in the morning, I will head for home.
Marsha, hope the other cakes turn out well for you.
Dee, that was a close call with your daughter . . glad she made it on time.
Barb, did you get the walls washed for your neighbor . . are you still able to move??? I woudln't be, I'm sure. Sheesh!

Lost my post when I restarted Firefox.
Sounds like a nice day Leah!
Ginny, I stay up way to late getting my down time. I'm glad you got some.
Marsha, it sounds like the cake turned out well!
The weather here is doing a lot of yoyo-ing too.
The prison visit was for sociology class. The guys went to a men's prison. I think that was a good plan. They had a panel of prisoners, and all the women talked about men contributing to their downfall. Good stuff for the girls to hear. My daughter is now interested in criminal justice, she found it very interesting.

Good Friday morning, everyone.
I'll be leaving Melissa's here in a little while. It's been a short, but good visit. I think I'll stop and do a little shopping on the way home.
We all got a bit of a shake-up around 4:30 this morning when an earthquake centered in eastern Illinois was felt pretty powerfully right here in St Louis. As a matter of fact, Maggie & I were chatting when it happened and I couldn't figure out what was going on, even checked outside to see if strong winds were blowing, but the leaves on the trees weren't even moving. Then when I got back up this morning around 7:00 I checked the news and sure enough, there'd been an earthquake. This big house really did some shuddering, and it went on for several seconds. Plum spooky!
Dee, sounds like a bit of an eye-opener for your daughter. I hope she can pursue the field she's interested in.
Anyway, started typing this earlier, was interrupted, and now I'm finally finishing . . . have a good day, everyone.

Earthquake? I didn't know about it until I heard it on the news. My neighbor said he felt it.
There's a turkey in the frig that I've been defrosting for 4 days and its going into the oven to roast this morning. Have a cherry pie for desert. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and corn will be the rest of the meal. Wonder if I have any biscuits. Maybe I'll make yeast rolls.
Good news on getting the cake done Marsha.
Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you Leah.
Dee, you stay up late for down time? Is that so you finally have time to yourself and some quiet to think?
In my family getting up at 5:00 am is usually what I do for my quiet time. Then I get annoyed if hubby gets up and turns on the TV that early in the morning because I've come to enjoy my time of quiet without distractions.
Ginny

Not sure I want a matzah ball. What do they taste like?
Cool that the cakes tasted good.
I baked a batch of Russian Tea Cakes, a butter nut cookie. I am officially on the cookie ministry baking cookies for first time visitors. Guess on Sunday afternoons I'll be baking cookies and hubby will enjoy the dozen or so I don't have to send.
Got the bathroom cleaned and working on all the laundry that has accumulated. Was going to vacuum the dining room next and dust the fan blades then work on the kitchen but have decided to take a nap and rest. I was really tired at work all week last week when I had spent the weekend doing housework. Got to have time for rest.
Well tomorrow I go to court once again.
Ginny

Ginny, will be praying . . keep us updated.
Marsha, so glad to hear your Seder went well. Those are some beautiful granddaughers you have there --- and yeah, the little one sure looked plum tuckered out.
Denny, you sure do make yourself scarce around these parts -- good to see your smiling face
