Hello, folks.....

I always catch up on the thread, then I have to wait for awhilefor the swelling to go down in my eyes before I can post.
Y'all are truly something else!

The way it stands right now is that I'll go for the tests to begin the chemical treatments in two weeks. They wanted three weeks healing time from the abdominable surgery to the test time.

As Nana has described, the chronology of events since I last posted was pneumonia, (four day hospital stay), twisted and perforated colon (seven day hospital stay) and pneumonia (four day hospital stay).
The perforated colon was caused by a little animal called divers articulitis. He is mean! He allowed poison to spew into my body cavity for four days before I gave up and went to the emergency room.
The doctor saw me at seven and operated at eleven.

I'm wearing a colostomy now and I'll have it for another two months then they'll put my pipes back together.
The colostomy sounds gross, but it's no big deal.
I'm still a Marine.
We adapt and conquer.

I sometimes think God must have decided that simply throwing cancer at me wasn't enough of a challenge. He knows I'll beat that.
He decided to test me with a bunch of rocks in the road, and that's okay. I accept His will.

With the number of friends I have praying for me, I have no fear.
WE SHALL OVERCOME!!

Thank you, friends, and may the Good Lord bless each of you.
