I’m writing this at the hospital (Free wi-fi! Yipee!), and I was just told my wife is doing just fine, and is resting comfortably in post-op. So you know, if nothing else goes my way today, it’s already the best day I’ve had in a long time. Now begins what seems like the infinite wait until we hear what path our lives take in the next year. The road to the left leads down a road of peace, happiness and contentment, at least until the next time. The road on the right…well, that’s a road that a bit rougher, and one we’ve been down before. That’s the rough road of chemo and hair loss. Of radiation and weekly trips to the cancer center. It’s the road that has no lights and seems perpetually dark. It’s a road that scare the living hell out of me every day, and like those access roads that run parallel to highways, it always seems to be too damn close.
Anyway, for today, everything is great. But alas, this is just an update on my personal situation for anyone who may care. For those that don’t, no problem, the music will be back tomorrow.

fucking hell, all the best to your wife, been on that road with my mum and it’s a scary place, but positive attitude and good medical support and there is light at the end. Hope everything goes well.

@A.J:
Thanks mate, I appreciate the good thoughts, as does the wife. She has a bit of a headache this morning, but other than that, feels pretty decent. As I said, now it’s just that fucking wait for the test results.

@Jim:
She’s home, which is a nice thing. I have her tucked comfortably on the couch with the remote control, a comfy blanket (it’s a little chilled here today..),her favorite cat, and some delicious See’s candy! Her son flies in tomorrow to spend the week with us, making it all the better. Thanks for the kind words.

If you don’t mind I’ll be praying for you guys. I’ve had some friends go through this, but of course, I have no real idea what it’s like.

Know what it’s like, chin up, and if you have to, get ready to kill the dragon.

@Robert Lindsey:
Hey man, I’ll take all the help with the big man I can get! I know he and I have been talked ALOT recently. The worst part really is knowing that I have no control over anything. There are very few times in life where one is absolutely helpless…this is definitely one of them.

@Mac:
Thanks for the kind words. If we have to, we definitely know how to slay the beast…we’ve had to do it 3 times so far in the last 12 years. That dragon stands NO chance man!

I’m just now getting to this because I have been navigating my own rough roads of late.
All the best to you and your wife. We’ll all be looking forward to some good news. Hugs all around.

@MissParker0106:
Well, the great news is that we got the results this morning, and we are clear this time. It’s been a rough month. That’s all I got to say about that. I hope some of the goodness comes over your way now.
