Well…starting about nine years ago my health began declining (complications of diabetes, my family curse). The decline accelerated greatly about 5 years ago (coincidentally just when the needed income and assets had “left the building”). Thanksgiving of last year my little sis (the cancer survivor nurse) was asking a doc about me and …lo and behold…he had an idea I would have never considered. I did the research and somehow managed to stay on the guerney all the way to the O/R.

I’m 6 months out as of Christmas Day and I’m here to tell you that rumors of my impending demise were greatly exaggerated. I’m not out of the woods yet but I’m on the mend.

It is amazing what you can see in your future when you can see you have a future.

I am grateful for my life.
