As to questions..I am trying to cover a few from here..and again I am amazed. Yes..Honey Bear (HB and slowing considerably..as to the heart congestion at 10 yrs. and 10 months..but she gets all ..huffed-up..and runs if she sees Kesa..the 3 yr. old..'seemingly finding a squirrel/critter or challenge'..and hustles over..and I always fear she is going to end up..in a noseplant..and flatout..for the final time. ) Each day now..to reduce the strain on HB..I leave her in a kennel..take Kesa out for 2 hikes by herself. I remember how HB..as a 3 year old..would learn to pause more, listen..read the wind..and look behind her to see what I was doing/indicating. Kesa and I are ..learning that together..all over again..as she leaves the puppy flails and headlong romping..leading we hope..to a mature-er..newfy gal..in future.
My health is now..the way I look at it..living with chronic cancer. All who had the amt. of cancer I had..nodes all too..except for one..and I am sure it was screaming at the top of its lil lungs JC lady..get your surgery asap... 10 years ago..might not have made it too long. 2011 IS the time to have the meds of today..because it is not such an immed. death sentence..if play your cards/nutrit. and ramp up exercise..ya last..waaaay longer. I am taking the est. blocker..each morning..the Zometa every 3 months and an anti depress. of 37.5..each evening. Putting that dosage in perspective..one of my returned guys from Iraq..is being taken down to the VA hosp this coming friday by me. He needs to have conversation..and calming..and not carry his pistol while driving on the freeway. His cur. level of meds is 200 something. He is like a son..and by cracky..we will get him to his appt..by leaving here at 4:15 AM..and talk and play tunes all the way. Once a parent..always a parent! It may be that he will be put on full disability..but he has too many years of being a good person..ahead of him..to not search the options/treatments. So anyway..I am just living my life..doing the farm work I always do at this season..and feeling totally good. If I had no information that I had cancer..I'd never know it. Well ..rightside-bosemless'..would give me a clue..
Speaking of that..I went in for my cancer society fitting and got one prosthesis, and 2 bras. They spent 40 min..and all was free. When I no longer need these items they will be returned to the center..as these were..by other women..who went before me. That..good friends..is what the concept of..family of man..IS all about. Glad everyone enjoy'd the pics..and I think I love my panda hat pic the best..considering what the son and I went through at the mall..to get it..
Hugs and thanks so much for posting the comments..and hugs to those still working to make the world a better, healthier place. Soldier on!! Peace, ina
