Afternoon Summary

It's funny how life does go I never had the intention to be selfish on here < my way of thinking. Unfortunately, my mother went into the hospital and she is home and when I arrived home she was in a situation so I went over her medications and finally she was able to get a good doctor as her normal doctor is in South Africa.

So here friend took here and I had to tend to my father went I arrived home. We actually had a very good long talk. I told him that he is either going to get with it or fall. When it's just him and myself, we can talk. To take things off his mind I took him out and went for a walk with him and then I made him lunch. My mother came back and she is on medications till her family doctor arrives back - ironically she has been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis. So she is fine now. As when I arrived home all things were going haywire and this is where I am the calm one.

I have these situations but you think past it and it's been a great day and at the same time a variety of things to juggle - but you just do it.

I look forward to writing and reading tonight and for now this has been a very tremendous day. I have seen and as well been asked within the oncology department some 6 years ago to go in and talk to a few people. There was a very find oncologist but that was then and this is now.

Within the now I am most pleased, but if the diagnosis would have been cancer, I am not sure how I would react. I only know the some people that have went through it and all I can say is that one does not know what it's like till they hear that diagnosis as I have seen it done.

But now for me it's not large steps, it's not small steps - it's cadence within all of this. And I sincerely thank you to all that have blogged messages.

The glass is more than half full. On a very fine day.

    Thank you Scott and it's all doing fine my mother is on a major medication and well I am over watching how she takes it as she is wore out but if I may say she was the foundation of my faith, I practice it within my own manner but rest assured it's your writing of recent was very nice - it still amazes me how well some people do write.

    I also had a same story like you before..last year actually. Even my blood test is good but I always feel worried all the night before took the lungs test result..They really did a detail test. I forget the name of the test but they put something inside my hand after made me unconscious. It's scare. But when everything ok and I'm only have a common infection, I can feel that the life is worth and nothing will make me give up the life. I will try my best. So, great day also for you, Jack! Glad that it already passed.
