I have slept most of the weekend but was able to go to Borders, and got a few books in prep for Wednesday.  This am I awoke early and went out to my garden and watered before the heat was to much.  I saw my Dad yesterday and truely just took the rest of the weekend and rested.  I have a grill basket now and am having grilled veggies now.  Tonight I am planning on have a portabello mushrooms with grilled onions.  I have learned alot of eating healthy and simply, suddenly I am thinking that I am going to start eating more veggies and write a book for people that have to be on this diet.  There is only one out there and it was depressingly complicated.

On Monday I will get a small amount of radiation with iodine.  They will on Tuesday be able to see where it goes, to make sure they are missing nothing on Wednesday.  So Monday and Tuesday will be the tough days.  I really appreciate all the comments and nice gather mails.  kinda makes it fun to wake up and see what you all say.

Thank you so much for the prayers, I have alot of wonderful things in my life and have been very lucky.  This is the week I am dreading and yet going to be so glad to get thru.  I look forward to reading more and just knowing this step is done.  I am scared they will find things that we have missed.  But at this point I am ready! Scared but not alone.  My fears have always been something I prefer to court and find positive in.  With that in mind I start this hill and hope that you will all be there at the bottim.  Notice please I said hill not mountain.  I love the mountains and would prefer not to like hills (hills are the bumps in the road I am encountering nothing more)

See my sense of humor is intact and I am ready (not excited), let us begin the ascent!!!  Full speed ahead my friends... God and my family and my friends and my gather family.  I love you all!!!

Godspeed to you all and peace

Godspeed to you. God's Blessings to you and your family, and our prayers are at your disposal for the next few days.

Kathline:

We love you, too! I am praying for you.

"let us begin the ascent!!!" -- what a Divine phrase!!! Be assured that He will go with you.

Love 2U!!!

Lots more hugs, prayers, and good thoughts being sent your way to get over this hill. I'll be seeing you soon at the bottom where the road stretches out long and smooth.
Mary Beth Magee Jun 17, 2007, 6:33pm EDT
I feel as though just saying you are in my prayers is such a little gift to offer you when you are going through so much. I wish I could send you a 4-wheel drive lift to help you conquer that hill in comfort. You ARE in my prayers and thoughts and I know God is walking right there with you, every step. Blessings, dear friend.
Pat S. Jun 17, 2007, 6:58pm EDT
We'll be with you Kathline. Try thinking of this as nothing more than a speedbump. Something annoying that slows you down for a moment. It already sounds as if you are finding something positive in the 'slow moment'. Then you'll get past this, and right back up to speed!
Wordsmith F Jun 17, 2007, 6:59pm EDT
Picture me walking beside you as you climb that hill, my prayers are with you.
Sheila Deeth Jun 17, 2007, 7:00pm EDT
You should write the book. Your grilled veggies sound good. Glad to know you're still enjoying things.
Angie O. Jun 17, 2007, 7:08pm EDT
Godspeed Kathie, remember you are not ascending alone, in thought and prayer, we are with you. Keep the Faith.
tomi r. Jun 17, 2007, 7:22pm EDT
Kat, we'll not wait at the bottom, we will walk with you.
Robb F. Jun 17, 2007, 7:37pm EDT
I think Tomi has the right idea!
Deb J. Jun 17, 2007, 7:41pm EDT
You are so precious Kathline! My thoughts and prayers are always with you these days my wonderful Gather Friend!!!! May God be holding your hand.
Kay C. Jun 17, 2007, 7:42pm EDT
Your gather friends will be right beside you to lend moral support, no way you will go on this new trek alone!
Kay S. Jun 17, 2007, 7:53pm EDT
Kathline dear, I'm walking right beside you holding your hand. God will not fail you and He will give you strength to face the road ahead... (((XO)))

We're thinking about you, Dear. We'll keep praying for your health.
Wilma M. Jun 17, 2007, 8:02pm EDT
tomi had it right, for sure. Each day we will be there with you in spirit, encouraging you on. Soon this week will be done and you can look on to the future.

Your room is going to be kind of crowded with all of us there too. Hope no one steps on my feet! LOL

God's Blessings to you and your family
Larry H. Jun 17, 2007, 8:33pm EDT
may God bless and look over and protect and heal you
Michele (Misha) B. Jun 17, 2007, 8:59pm EDT
That would be a great idea with the recipe book. You could help even more people with it. Sending many smiles :) and hoping this night finds you rested and relaxing with your children. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow.
Jacqueline R. Jun 17, 2007, 10:48pm EDT
Forward march!:) I will be with you all week Kat. If you should feel a calm just remember God is with you and we are all sending your our love and lots and lots of hugs!!! Glad to hear you rested this weekend too. That grilled veggie basket sounded lovely! I'll have to buy a grill first;)! I love you my friend!!xoxo
Lisa J Jun 17, 2007, 11:10pm EDT
I like the new pic of you... you always know my heart and prayers...

*hug*
Rosa See Ya Jun 17, 2007, 11:22pm EDT
Looks like there will be plenty of shoulders for you lean against as we make that ascent up the hill. So, I think I will leap ahead of the rest of the crowd and sprinkle a few blessings along the path. Love and light, Kathline.
Sue * Jun 17, 2007, 11:22pm EDT
I hope that the next few days will just be minor bumps...good luck to you.
Kevin F Jun 17, 2007, 11:34pm EDT
Kathline, my thoughts and prayers and meditations are with you as you tackle this week. Keep your eye on the prize and that pretty head up. I'm glad to hear you have such a positive attitude!
Yer new Gather-Friend,
-Kevin

Hello Kathline. I have to tell you that I've started reading your posts this last week or so, and you are truly an inspiration. A brilliant light in this world. It's a blessing to know you, even if only through Gather. I am amazed and touched by the outpouring of support that you receive here, and thankful that the internet can connect us all this way.

Prayers and good wishes.
Svetlana Goryacheva Jun 18, 2007, 2:30am EDT
Books are great thing... never fails to get one's spirits high! ;-) Hang on, my dear friend - I pray from the very depth of my soul that everything will be all right.

Love and hugs in abundance - S.

Your way of dealing with fear is appropriate: acceptance of rather than denial; acting in spite of rather than being paralyzed by. This is the essence of courage.

My own mother and grandmother both beat cancer and outlived it by eight and twelve years respectively before dying at ages 80 and 92. You can do it!
Leah Christensen Jun 18, 2007, 10:13am EDT
Just stay positive, Dear Kathline. We are all praying for you. We love you too.
John B. Jun 18, 2007, 10:44am EDT
Keep the good thoughts, blessings.

We talked about God's healing in Sunday School on Father's Day and it was a touching subject because one of the members had just lost her father even though our class had prayed for his recovery.
We were told that the Lord promises us only healing in Heaven. In the meantime, our Faith is supposed to grow stronger by our suffering.
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer another means for growth! ;)
I pray for your healing but more important, that what you suffer on Earth is GREATLY rewarded in Heaven and that you have the strength and faith to endure.
Heather C. Jun 18, 2007, 11:56am EDT
Walk by Faith and Not by Sight!
You can do it!
Elaine A. Jun 18, 2007, 5:18pm EDT
Stay strong!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Aurora D. Jun 19, 2007, 10:13am EDT
We'll be climbing with you every step of the way!
Steph D. Jun 21, 2007, 4:06pm EDT
This has been a very personal and touching ordeal for all of us, not just you. Kathline, I do pray for you. This has really been a time of getting to know you. They say that you really don't know someone until they get ill or you live with them. Thank you for sharing even your most intimate thoughts about your journey for victory! It has been teaching a little more about the human spirit.
