Some days are better than others.

It's been years since I divorcedmy pill-head ex wife. Before she became a pill head she whas the lovielest, most wonderfu person I have ever known. Before or since.

I am deling with a stage 3 tumor, and I know my time is coming. Some days I miss her terribly, the good times anwyway not the bad.

Some days I do better. Today I'm not doing so good, so I thought I would come here just to unload. I know you lovely peeps would undersand.

Thank you for listening.

Mike, you have been such a wonderful support here that I sure would like to give back.

Stage 3 brain tumor doesn't sound like fun at all. I'm hoping that you have some good medical support with charming doctors and nurses!!

Big hug to you!

DesertEyes

Thank you for that lovely compliment.

It's not the tumor that is the challenge. It's the horrid American medical system that is a nightmare. I have so many horror stories.

It takes a lot of shopping around, but I've put together a real good team. Vegas is good for that. There are so many retired peeps that it has attracted a ton of docs to choose from. Far more than I have found in other parts of the country.

Thank you so much. Right now I really need some.

Sending love, virtual hugs and best wishes from the UK Mike. I'm very lucky to have a hugely optimistic personality but I do know it's really important to focus on improving or at least managing those factors in your life that you can control, and doing your best to minimise the disruption and chaos caused by those you can't control.

You can control what you do today, the joy that you can find in a sunny afternoon or a nice home cooked meal. Having lived with cancer sufferers I know well the terror that can be all pervading, but I also saw the determination to make every day count, and I know that gave them immense comfort.

DesertEyes

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Yes, you are absolutely right.

Then you understand.

Most days I do ok on that front. Some days not so good.

Thanks for your reply.

I just picked up on your username reference. 'In God's Country', Joshua Tree! Right?

DesertEyes

Yup. Long story. I changed "Desert Sky" to "DesertEyes".

You have a good mind for music

Ugh Mike . . . .just ugh . . . . yeah the American medical system . . . . please have a primal scream on me anytime you want. Dear God and Mary, Jesus and Joseph, why the Heck can't we figure out a good medical system in the US . . . Argh!

May peace, courage and really good medical folks come your way in hoards Mike!

DesertEyes

Thank you. I don't scream. Some days I crawl under the covers and just cry. Between the pain, the side effects of the chemo, the fatigue, there's days I just can't handle it.

Today I'm doing ok.

Don't get me started

Thank you, you are so sweet.

Mike
