Two things ...

First the hearts, thankyou all so much.

Second thing - I spent three weeks going to UT-South Western for two days a week ending last week.

I am cancer free and my 'damaged kidney' is working at 70%.

Thoughts and prayers work, energy works, it all works.

Thank-you all for so much.

... the cancer was figured out PDQ, fighting it took forever. It's been a loooong fight.

But I feel like looking for a part time job.

Out here they hire people like myself to be temporary teachers in the public schools. It would be worth while to cut my hair to bring a non RW voice to a class room. The pay isn't so good, only a bit over minimum wage.

... It was assumed it was from a urinary infection. My primary care physician was bull dog and so was the infectious disease expert I finally got to after more than a year of of it.

It used to be a very common disease.

Did you know that the second part of the hospital name came from my alma mater? We had a 100% acceptance rate into med school/dental school this past year.
