A Summary, sort of

Let's see if I can sumarize the past month. A month ago I moved to Nizhniy Novgorod with one small suitcase. I stayed with the lovely Ron and Wilma. They took me around to purchase new furniture and all sorts of goodies to help me get settled in my apartment. A couple of days later my things arived and I had two days to unpack before flying to Alaska for vacation.
My first week in Alaska was full of doctors, dentists, and shopping. I even got a new social security card and drivers lisence. Doesn't that sound like a vacation to you? Well week two was better. My family and I went camping in cold overcast weather. At least it only rained one night out of the four days. Fun was had by all.
Then came last week. Honestly I can't even remember what happened last week. Okay, now it's comming back. I got over 13 inches of my hair cut off and donated to locks of love. For the first time in my life I have short hair, very short hair. Pictures will be posted eventually. I also went to an ear nose and throat doctor and found out I "get to" stay in Alaska a bit longer than planned. I have a lump on my thyroid. This week they are doing different tests on me and next week I will be meeting with my lovely doctor again. After a bummer of a day at the doctors the whole family went on a boat trip of the Talkeetna, Chitna, and Susitna rivers. That was very fun.
I guess that is my time in a nut shell. What did I do today? I took a capsule full of iodine. Then four hours later I laid on a bed very still for 30 minutes while they took three pictures of my throat. Then I sat up very still while more images were taken of my throat.
I'm in good spirits and I know God is watching over me.
