Hiatus Over

I've experienced a serious blogging hiatus.

I'm baaaaack.

I will catch you up over the past number of months, but first, this week.

This week, my handsome son Max turned 20.  2. 0.  How did this happen?

I am incredibly proud of him, he is a compassionate, very hard working, incredibly intelligent man.  I just don't know if there are enough words to properly express how much I love and admire him.

Max's 19th Birthday

This week was also my mother's (Pat) birthday.  I think she's 70 this year, but I don't know for sure.  I have a girlfriend who describes Pat as the egg donor, Jean as my Mom.  Having said this I think you understand there is no relationship between my mother (Pat) and I.

We've tried, it failed.  Over and over and over again.  My last attempt was a number of years ago, I called my sister to wish her a happy birthday and it just got ugly.  They ended up dragging my Grandma into it all.  Ug.Ly.

So, I honour her day by saying a prayer for her, and then it passes.

The other big thing in this week was my oncology appointment.  It seems all is well, I am getting better and better every day/week.  My symptoms are getting less frequent.

And I am getting another oncologist.  If you are keeping track--this next appointment will be my 4th oncologist since this all started.

I think a study should be done by the BCCA of the fall out and stress for patients when they don't see the same person consistently.

Rant. Over.

I am thankful I am healthy, I have healthy kids, Kent is healthy and we are doing ok.



Onto the next post.
