Ok. I'm sitting in my home in milton drinking a hot cup of cinnamon tea and watching V on my DVR.Just to update, alot of things have changed. Some good, some even better, some totally awesome and of course there are those things that only got worse.
So to start with the good, my husband, son and I are doing phenominally!!! We are very happy that we are all together again. Yes, the seperation had to take place for the good that came out of it to occur but I'm glad its over!
Now I do miss my father, especially during this time. Yesterday was the first anniversary of my mother's death and my father was home alone for it. I truely wished I could have been there with him but we talked on the phone for a bit and it was wonderful to just be able to do that for him. True living with my father can be hard at times, but I miss and love him very much.
My son is awesome, doing super well in school and he even started karate. Very cool!!! Its giving him exercise and socialization. He has friends, goes for walks with the neighbors, even plays with the dogs like he used too! Its good to see him sooooo happy again!!
So that makes me the bad and ugly part of this. I'll try to make this long story short. I noticed a spot on my arm in Jan. I thought it was ringworm. Only problem was it didn't heal well, despite treatment. So I went to a doc, prescription meds didnt mend it either. I ended up at an infectious diseases' doc office. Turns out I have a systemic/bloodborn fungal infection. The good news doesnt stop there. Additional symptoms add up to possible cancer. CANCER!!!! OMG!!!! I'm looking at it being the type of cancer that killed my mother and almost to the day of her death. Ironic huh?
I'm under treatment for the fungal thing and hopefully it will cure the symptoms and the cancer will only have been an unnecessary scare. Prayers are welcome.
Other than that, the worse thing we have to deal with are financial issues which everyone seems to be fighting with these days. Its a struggle to keep the emotions linked with financial problems seperate from marital/family issues.
On the brighter side. Its possible that our new insurance may cover gastric bypass surgery!!! Yes its possible!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!
