-the facts-
The last two weeks have been really bad on an emotional level. I am feeling pretty good now though.
Let me fill in some details. The trip I had to the ER on the Friday before Memorial Day showed a spot on my left lung. The ER doc said "they found a nodule on your left lung." My heart just about dropped out of my chest then. You see colon cancer usually metastasizes to the liver or the lungs or both. So there I am in the ER and I get this bomb dropped on me. I was freaking out. I push the ER doc for more info and he said I would need to follow up with my oncologist. Of course I was on the phone with them first thing on Tuesday morning. They sent me for another ct-scan of the chest. That was on Friday. The follow up appointment to get the results was Monday. So yeah, I was stressed to the max. Monday came and I got the report that the ct-scan showed nothing and there was no nodule. CELEBRATE!!!! WHOO WHO!! The funny thing is after all that stress, at first I felt like going out and celebrating, but after not really being able to sleep for a week, I went and took a nap. It felt good not to wake up with "OH yeah, my lung, the spot, the lung, the spot" going through my head.
-the phone game-
I called my Mom and told her what was going on during this whole mess above. As the old phone game goes; everything gets blown out of proportion with each mile of copper it traverses. With that said, I heard a lot of different versions of what had happened to me. I would ask right off the bat, "did you talk to Mom?" It was kinda funny really. NOT. I am not sure if I will tell anyone anything from now on. Not because of the worry factor, but since it does not get relayed the way intended. Then again I do have apolicy that I will not sugar coat anything and will let everybody know exactly what is going on.... I may have to re-think the timing on that one. We will see.
-back to life as we know it-
Yes, I am able to concentrate on normal life things now. Again, this experience has made me think about life and what it means to me.
I'm glad you read this. I hope you are having a great day
-what?!?!? no guestbook??-
yes, the guestbook is gone. It seems the host for it wanted money, but never sent me an email telling me they were shutting it down. I probably would have paid had I known. But shame on them for treating existing users with no respect. They were able to send me all of the old submissions, which was good. I just need to put them all back out there. Read on to see how to get your submission there
- the NEW GUESTBOOK -
I've had enough of the guestbook problems. Just send me an email with the subject guestbook sign or something to that effect and I'll add it to the page I put out there. Easy? Easy! Yes, easy, just click here and it will bring up your email program
