This is a view through the telescope at Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge.
The Sandhill cranes are migrating southward. We went to the refuge to see if we could go “crane spotting,” and had some success. We watched hundreds of them land!
They were too far away to really see well with the naked eye, or even with our binoculars. Cell phone pictures are also too far away.
But we could HEAR THEM!
But we could HEAR THEM!
Crane is the messenger of the Spirit world in many earth-based beliefs.
I have always been deeply moved by Crane's energy.
As we turned to leave, I stopped, and turned back, and asked for a blessing.
At that moment, hundreds of Cranes rose into the air in a rush of power, calling out, and a loud, reverberating, deep buzz of their huge wings beating the air....... I shuddered with the energy, and cried tears of joy.
(I know, now, in some way, that everything will be alright.)
Late this last Monday morning, I was approved for the ablation treatment!
As it turned out, the one tumor that is close to the stomach is exactly 1 centimeter away from the stomach.
1 centimeter is the absolute minimum distance to allow for the treatment.....talk about mystical intervention!
But, there's STILL no word from the ablation doc's office regarding scheduling, so my anxiety remains high.
I have to do a consult and ultrasound in their office FIRST, and that needs to happen SOON, so we can schedule the procedure. I want it done before we leave for Thanksgiving!
My nurse assures me that she will call them tomorrow morning, and try to get them to GET MOVING on this. It's been almost a month since we discovered that the cancer is back, and, well, cancer grows....
If my slim margin is gone because of them delaying, we will be very unhappy.
Tomorrow is an office holiday, and we took Friday off so I could use my last floating holiday for the year.
I got my eye appointment done on Friday, new glasses ready soon.
We got our errands and some chores done Friday, once we decided to try to go Crane spotting yesterday.
Today will be an easy day. Dave is going to clean the oven, and take some stuff to Pop that Mike sent, and a friend is coming over this evening.
I will finish my weekly cleaning, and do a little extra because company's coming.
Tomorrow, I will see my new gynecologist, but nothing else is planned.
