So life continues since this last posting somewhat like the wizard of oz for me Lions, Tigers & Bears O MY!
In December of 2006 my POP Barry died, mi MUM is doing OK! & I am looking after her, along with myself as I became Single! than came down with a crazy sepsis which almost got me & in the process my Doctors found early stage cancer in my prostate. I Completed my Treatment Christmas Eave 2008 & so far my psa is 3 which is a good thing & everything is working like my senior year.It has taken all year to get my strienght back from the cancer treatment while still fighting the sepsis. I have finally two weeks ago August 09 just gone off medication to see if the sepsis is cured also as my cancer seems to be. Thank God for our great all American Medical Industry.
