AH! Now I see who just joined VET NET, this is why it looked so familiar. Am I right?

(I'm not thinking too clearly, I woke up sweating to death and the day didn't get a lot better)

I also have a problem and I might as well spit it out so that you understand later if I post something odd.

My estranged wife is dying of cancer.

SPLAT! There it is.

Already had a mastectomy, stage two AND three, and it's all the way through her bloodstream


All of this I found out about wednesday just like "OH BY THE WAY..." sort of a DRIVE BY!!!



And I have no idea what to think...


They estimate three years


YOU KNOW WHAT? It's funny how when someone you know is in trouble your feelings can sometimes reverse themselves
I think it involves a fundamental law of survival, I'm just wired that way!


Oh yeah - I can plainly see that I am disturbed and confused right now by it.


How is best to look at that?


"Almighty, give me guidance in my time of need"
AMEN


DONE


(yes I'm Celtic)
