Adventure

Life is an adventure. A journey. "A trip man!"
Its nuts.
Twists, turns, crazy corners and cliffs.
Can you find the joy around every bend? Can you find a way to serve around every turn?
Is that the lesson? I think so.

The irony

The irony that doesn't escape me is just how great I feel.

I am so over the 'empty nest' issues of the winter. I am past the house moving & moving & moving again blues from last winter. I have reestablished a little homestead here on our property. Since spring I have been very happy and have had limited stress....really to the point of often being bored. Life has been really great.

Then this abscess thing happens and whammo~ I am faced with a medical mess. Yet, as this ugly thing is festering in my gut.....I feel freakin fantastic! I have all the energy in the world & my body is working fine as far as anyone can tell.

What is that? A blessing? A joke? Certainly irony!

Surgery

Well folks~ here's the deal. I went in for a follow up colonoscopy after the abscess. They found a tumor. So on Oct 12 I am going to have colon surgery. They will be removing a section of the colon along with veins and lymph nodes. What comes after that is to be seen.

Please keep me in your prayers!

Of course this is huge. I am less than thrilled. It was said that it is very unusual for a tumor to put out an abscess like that. I guess we have to see the previous hospitalisation as a blessing. Had it not been for that abscess we would have never known of the tumor till it was too late.

Strangly wrapped gifts huh?
