Seattle

I can't believe that the last post was April 8. Time has been going by very fast. I think that is because John has been feeling pretty good. He gets the odd bad day but for the most part I think he is doing wonderful. He keeps pretty busy. He does a lot of yard work, trims the hedge, whipper snips, mows and even rebuilt the fire pit. His cucumbers are starting to come along nicely.

We had a nice holiday at Good Spirit Lake. Did some fishing and had some great beach days. All in all, it has been a nice summer. It sort of has been a holiday away from cancer although it is always in the back burner of our minds.

Seattle is coming up fast. We were told that things could happen as fast as September,. I think that it will be October. All the final testing has been done so we are all waiting for the results. We should get this information soon.

John did phone the Kinsmen because he was worrying about funding and how long it would take to process an application. The lady he spoke to eased his mind in this regard. I guess they can process funding as fast as one day if they have to. They also fund the donor so that is another worry gone. She told John to quit worrying about anything regarding funding.

We are going to go and buy a laptop next week. This will help us to communicate with everybody. Four months will be a long, long time to be away from home. We are going to miss our kids and grandkids terribly. A web cam is a must. Pray that John and I can learn how to use this technology.

I think that I have been postponing posting about this because then it doesn't seem real and I really don't want it to be real. Sigh... I think this will be the longest four months of our lives.
