Well here we are,nearing the end of May and Darylene is finally finding out that all her work in school is paying off.Not only has she received the fantastic Smittcamp honors scholarship that pays for her tuition,dorm fees,a laptop and first choice of all the colleges events but now in the past week she has been told she has received a 2500 dollar award from the Thomsen Scholarship Fund and a 1000 dollar award from the local Lions club.These amounts will pay for her food and books for the year.Truly amazing!
As for myself?? Well as of two weeks ago that polyp is gone and the biopsy was benign.After doing my bloodwork last week the dr.wants me to some more tomorrow as he is a bit concerned about some thing.Oh yeah,when I went to the hospital I was weighed and it seems I had lost about 53 pounds.I figure as of today I have probably lost about 60 pounds altogether.Getting closer.About forty or fifty to go.

We have a very busy few weeks coming up with grad and stuff.The kids dad and his wife are coming for that week of grad.Darylene has an overnight trip to Disneyland on the 25th and a concert performance on the 26th and 27th.Our anniversary is on the 31st.Somewhere in the middle of all this we have to do some housecleaning.Now if only the temps don't stay at 101 like they did today.Whewwwwwwwww!

Okay........Well finally finally finished my last colonoscopy and all went well.The first sample came back "very benign".All looks good and I dont need another one done for five years.
My blood sugar seems to be better too.It hovers between 110 and 130 most days.My blood pressure is very much under control now at around 117/72 most days.
And finally after dieting for about three months I have lost about 53 pounds according to the scales at the hospital.I figure to lose about fifty more.This should take between three to five more months.
We went on tuesday with Darylene to Fresno state to register etc.It looks like she is really going to busy for the next four years.We just have to wait a bit more to see how much finacial aid will cover of the 2940 dollars needed for meals.The financial aid officer at FSU said it looks like it will cover between 2500 and 2600 dollars of it.If so she will be in good shape for her first year.
