I began passing blood in my urine. That’ll scare the daylights outta ya.


Went in for a biopsy, stayed for the removal, never looked back. God is good!

Now every 6 months I get scoped. After the last Doc says every 12 for a scope every 6 for a pee test. Boy am I gonna miss getting scoped. The thing looks like a straw and feels like a sewer line.

A bit of randomness for the masses.

I was in the loop today (downtown Chicago) watching all the people wrapped up in their business, and I wondered…How many of you are aware of your days? How many of you were too busy to kiss your spouse or pet your lizard this morning?

Cancer gave me back my sense of priority. Cancer was like a giant slap to the head, saying,”Slow down, look around, enjoy this moment for it is the only this moment you will ever live”.

Every scope I lie back and think, I made it here! I walked in of my own power and I am going to walk out, praise God. This is not to say I do not have my depression issues and my down days. Even a day or two of “why me”. But, on this cold day in Chicago, I thought, “I am blessed, because I know how precious this moment is”.

I pray hope and love for each who stop by.

I am with you Mac. I try as often as possible to count my blessings. Thanks for the reminder.

So true, Mac, so true. I AM BLESSED ALSO. The ones you love can be gone so fast and sometimes so unexpectantly. I lost 3 of my immediate family and my dog since 2002, but I try every day to THANK GOD FOR THE TIME I HAD WITH THEM. Life is so very precious and I wish everyone could realize this. Have a good evening. My prayers are with all of you.

Mac thank you for your kinds words and your support.
