Hi everyone;
This Dad/Don writing. I'm at home in my easy chair looking out on a -32 C day. The sun is shining bright and we count each day a blessing.
Things have happened fast here. Wednesday I had a pin put in my hip/upper leg. I think it was just an excuse for taking a biopsy. Friday afternoon I was back home. The intent is to go from the crutches, to the cane and then to normal walking. (I am at the cane stage.) I am debating but I think I will take a few days of disability so that I can go through this process. There are several exercises and I need to walk around the house every 45 mins minimum.
The results from the biopsy should be available in a week and a half. At first things look very dark. the doctors thought that there was a primary sources inside my abdomen that had moved to the bones. This does not appear to be the case and the hopeful scenario now is that I have Lymphoma which relatively easy to treat with chimo. Eva and I feel we have been give a second chance.
Who knows where this comes from. Over the years, I have come in contact with a lot of stuff especially when growing potatoes. When we were dating I would pick up Eva and her co-workers would tease her about my orange hair. I was spraying a top killer that could have been related to agent orange.
The Lord is good. We see this as a valley we need to go through. At the other end we hope to come out better understanding others. Some of us are tough and it takes a hard hit on the head to mellow us. Thanks for taking this trip with us to the other side of this valley. Keep praying, there is a big journey ahead and I cannot go though it alone.
