Title: stopped by to say hello to you all
Post by: woodsman on November 21, 2013, 04:59:01 AM
Sorry I've not been around but it's been a rough road. I was in for surgery for weeks due a round with cancer which had to be removed from my butt area and then pneumonia and now i am feeling better. The doctors say they may have to remove more but we shall see in a couple weeks. I am losing some weight but dialysis is going okay and were even getting new CHAIRS!!!  woo whooo....

Hi Woodsman, glad to see you drop by.  Our new chairs are crap.  When you recline you cannot get back up by yourself.  Someone has to come push the foot stool for you.  I think it is a safety hazard but no one asks me.  I hope your cancer is gone.

Hiya!  It's so great to hear from you, but I sure don't like reading a post with the word "cancer" in it.  However, it sounds like you are OK and that dialysis is somewhat bearable.  I hope that the docs got all of the malignancy; I hope you'll stop by more often and let us know how things are going!

Glad to hear from  you. It DOES sound like a rough road, but also that you are faring pretty well.

So, kick that cancer in the butt and don't let it kick you in the butt!

Well you're not dead. So, keep fighting! I reckon each day we survive is a victory.
