26 May 2008 - Update !
I phoned this fellow on Friday. WHAT a HUGE difference! He is sounding SO much better - what a relief! He was embarrassed at being such a 'wus' when we talked before. I assured him that this was OK - more than OK - I was very worried about him. There was just no way I was going to......Read More

15 May 2008 - I'm done in!
I'm sitting here recovering from a phone call that lasted an hour. Hour-long phone calls are fine with me! But this one was different for a few reasons. The phone call was at work from a staff member who is on the edge. I work in HR doing training. I was asked to take care of this......Read More

It's Monday morning here and it's been over a week since the radiation treatment ended. I must be moving into the tiredness phase - because I can barely hold my head up. Last night I fell asleep at 8:30 - and slept through the night - and today I'm STILL tired. I've been putting......Read More

17 April 2008 - 5 days and no radiation
Now THAT's exciting! I haven't had radiation all week - colour me happy! The first part of the week was very difficult - the burn hurt so much and itched so much. Today, I noticed it's different. It still hurts, still itches - I still look like one of the aliens on Star Trek:New......Read More

The weekend's over - and it's Monday morning. I didn't have to go to the hospital today for my radiation. What a wonderful thing!!! The rash that I mentioned before seems to be getting worse - maybe it's the radiation getting its kicks in. I'm using salt water, cortisone for the......Read More

2 April 2008 - a "2 second" survey! Please!?!
I have recently talked with someone spiritually minded and had - yes folks, assumed that this person believed that there is a trinity god-head. I was wrong about what I thought he believed - as he quickly pointed this out to me. He doesn't believe the trinity - he believes......Read More

Ahhhh - easing into the new year. It always feels like a new year after Memorial. It was an exciting time this year. After the travelling with Ruth, I got home and Lyn came for a visit. It was very good timing too - Rose's husband Tony died hours before Lyn got here and Rose really needed......Read More
