I saw my oncologist on Tuesday and on Wednesday he DIED suddenly. It was totally unexpected. He was only 65. The medical community and all his patients are in shock. He was a gentle man with always words of encouragement. He was a compassionate Dr, and loved by so many. My heart is heavy.
Tell your loved ones you love them,and show it.....carpe diem, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Carpe Deim
Last Oct. I had a lymph node removed from my neck. The test showed I had SLL, which is lymphoma.It is also in the bone marrow. This type is indolent, slow growing. I went to Stanford for a second opinion, and was given the same results. Since this is slow growing, no treatment is needed at this point. They are doing "watchful waiting." Some people have this many years before chemo is needed. Stanford's guess was 4 to 7 years. I see an oncologist for blood work and check ups on a regular basis. It is frightening, of course, but I know the will of God will not take me to a place that the Grace of God can not protect me.
Each day is precious...Carpe Diem...or seize the day!

I'm back!!!
Sorry about the long delay. Most of my friends got caught up in FaceBook so I gave it a try. They played Farmville as well as leaving little notes.
I just didn't get it as far as the farm thing went. Farmville had caused a temporary rift between some family members, and the locating "lost or old friends", caused two divorces between loved ones. My husband thought FB was evil, and since I seldom would leave comments, it was very easy to give up. Besides,giving up FB was a very small thing that pleased my hubby.
So anyway...I am back to blogging, (only a couple of people even read it) But I did enjoy blogging.
Alot has transpired and I will slowly bring this up to date.
The flip houses I blogged about earlier did not end well. The kids left us in debt, damaged the work we had paid to have done. We actually gave them 64 thousand dollars for the year plus paid for rent, and ALL utilities. They had said deliberate hurtful things to us. It was bad, very bad. We had to "PAY them off" to get them out, with the law enforcement on our side. Now they won't let us see the grandkids and haven't for almost two years. They have returned birthday cards we sent to the grandkids and have not contacted us since.
I'll blog more tomorrow my friend, as this is just the tip of the ice berg.
