Spoke- How is everything on your end??

Trek- When is that tri? I would do it. It looks like it's at the site of my very first race. I couldn't figure out when it was? But I did do a race for the cure tri in May. Now I'm extra happy and proud that I did it.

Cheryl- Here's a {{{{{{hug}}}}}}} back.

Mimi, knot, and Mak- thank you, thank you!

It seems that lately cancer has taken hold of a lot of us on this board in one way or another- mostly family members or dear friends. It's a big ugly wave.
My uncle who is morbidly obese (at least 500 lb), and diabetic was just diagnosed with kidney cancer. The problem is he's too big to get a CT scan. So they don't know how bad it is. He's trying to lose 25 lbs so he can get the CT. But surgery is scheduled. Unf. he has chosen a life path that is anything but healthy, so it's not a real surprise to any of us. But he is a great guy, so it is very sad. It's also sad how the doctors are treating him. It's not like he doesn't KNOW his reality, but they are so harsh on him. One tech suggested he go to UC DAVIS that maybe they had a scanner that he could fit in at their vet hospital.- As in one made for horses. The reality is they probably do, but it was the delivery in which the tech said it.
He was so upset that he didn't tell my aunt (his wife) until they were almost home.

Stay healthy girls! And become an ambasador for the kids. Show them what a healthy life path will bring, vs. a sedentary one with bad food choices.

Much love to ALL!
Denise

I am glad you are cleared of this nagging fear now and what you say about living healthily and all rings so true.

Wow Denise. What an ordeal. I'm sooooooooo happy everything came back negative. ((((((((((((Denise))))))))))).

What a year you've had. I'm so impressed that you've come out of all of this with a posative attitude. You're tough. A lot of people would've suffered a serious emotional breakdown.

Take care and I like your idea of changing things up a bit. We should all live everyday as if it might our last.

Hugs and butterflies,
