Good Report!

Leslie had her colonoscopy today, and the report was a good one. Dr. Moore explained that he didn't see anything to be concerned about. He could see where her colon had been resected and that was normal. He did take some biopsies from that area, but that was protocol. We expect nothing but good news from that. We were both relieved of course. Our family was too.

Leslie and I talked about the fact that neither of us were worried. After all the zapping and chemo she's been through, I didn't expect anything to be there. I think the real challenge before us is further down the road. Will it come back? But we know better than to live in fear. And really, this is a life lesson. None of us knows if we have tomorrow, or if our loved ones do. So we continue to delight in the fact that our hope in all of life rests in Christ.

I think Leslie is blogging tonight as well, so check her blog for updates.

In other recent news that I haven't had a chance to blog about, I sold my truck. With rising gas prices, we realized that a small car would suit my long commute better. I placed the truck on Craig's List, and within an hour received an email from a gentleman who bought it from me a day later. He needed a truck, and for a truck mine got good gas mileage. So it was a good fit. I did get other inquiries from the post, one of which I wanted to share. I got this from someone named "Captain Hank":

I'd consider swapping my 43' houseboat for your truck and camper top. Then you could liveaboard during the week, saving thousands on gas, instead of commuting.
If interested, I'll send you pictures and more info.

I have no idea whether he was serious or not, and I'm not sure that life on a house boat would really fit my style. But his email gave me a good laugh!

I ended up a week or so later with a little used Civic. So far I am pretty pleased, especially with my first tank of gas yielding 34 mpg with mixed highway/city driving. Ironically, I've been surprised by the number of comments I've gotten about it, all pertaining to the gas mileage. I think a lot of people are doing the same thing.
