You're Gonna DO WHAT....?


Today there were many opportunities to lose our Marbles, but it happened only once and they were all quickly gathered back-up and returned to their proper places. This moment came when they actually gave Martha a Hickman line to look at and explained exactly where it will be placed and how it will be taken care of. Hopefully before this is all over Martha will be swingin' it around like Mae West with a string of pearls! Other "moments" were related to lab samples and other testing needs, but no need to go into the gory details here.

All in all it was a smooth first day here at Saint Jude's. We're still staying in the Grizzlies' House and our room is on the 4th floor looking directly out to the Memphis Pyramid whatever that is? Thank God it doesn't light-up like the one in Vegas, 'cause I'm tellin' ya the thing is less than two blocks away and it would be high-noon here 24/7 if it did.

Tomorrow is SURGERY at 1PM, to remove the implanted port and insert the Hickman line. Think of Martha often and pray for her safety and comfort. Thank you family and friends, I imagine you sitting with me and talking this through as I type, so thanks for being here.

The Robinson clan are all thinking of you. I will continue to say extra little prayers through out the day today. You guys are the best and I hope you feel the warmth of our love all around you. Dad does not have access to a computer so he told me to give you a special hello.
Lots of love, Arletta

Have friends that have tried to access this site and for some reason, it would not let them on,but, know that you are in their prayers also.
What was this about a birthday? mine was 13th. Am now 74. You have a lot of living to do-so as surgery and healing takes place,that positive attitude and the love of the LORD, support of family and friends will sustain you.

Just wanted to say that MARTHA TOTALLY ROCKS!!! I am her fabulous line nurse (it's my job to teach her how to take care of her handy dandy Hickman line)and she is one of the BEST students I've ever had.
KUDOS TO MARTHA...thanks for holding your marbles together so well. I could definitely use you as my assistant in the future :)
