Hello everyone, I hope you all had a very good Christmas and holiday season!
I am sorry that I have been absent from the boards since Christmas. I just read about rdshores and it really made me sad to see that he had passed away. I pray that he is in a better place. I am sorry to log back in and report on my own health during this time of mourning. My timing was never very good.
My health is declining to put it bluntly. I am very weak and the Doctors say I may not see 2007 unless something changes soon. The cancer has once again spread.
To make it worse I am still producing kidney stones on a regular bases. My left kidney is in bad shape and may need to be removed. I have been passing pure blood for the last 3 days. We are trying to decide what to do about it. More surgery will only weaken me further but the kidney may not leave us much choice.
I want everyone to know that I appreciate all the prayers and support. Please pray that my family is strong if I do not make it. They are the ones who need the support right now.
Do not feel sorry for me or my condition. I have lived a good life and have been blessed beyond anything that I deserved. Besides, I am not dead yet and I could very well pull out of this. But if it is my time then it is just my time. My only concern right now is my wife and kids.
Thank you all for allowing me to share my problems with you and I hope and pray that God blesses each of you.
I am going to try to keep in touch with the board for as long as I can. Please do not think I am giving up, I am just facing some hard facts. My Doc's have always been very blunt with me and I am thankful for it. I told them up front to not hide anything from me.
Again, I am sorry to report this on the heels of rdshores passing. I just needed to do it while I felt like it this morning.
No worries!
