I arrived back in Frazier Park on Sunday, and decided to stay in town across from Carls house instead of going to Lockwood Valley. Since I have been recovering, Carl and I have gotten into the habit of watching football together, and...... well, the playoffs start this weekend.........

I had my 3 month follow up doctors appointment yesterday, and was found to be cancer free!!! They took samples, did several scans, and found nothing out of the ordinary. I was surprised by the relief that I experienced when hearing the good news, I guess that I had underestimated the anxiety that goes along with check-ups.

My next appointment will be next Dec...... I am thrilled that I get a year off.

I started this year with 4 big issues to deal with: staying alive, of course being the most important, insurance issues next, collecting money or property out of my debtors BK, and getting my finances in order. I guess, for now, I can take cancer off of the list.

A year ago, my finances were in pretty good order, and none of the other problems existed. I guess that this is an example of how quickly things can change. The choice seems simple, live consumed with fear and anger, or be happy that I am alive, and try to get the most out of every day. Seems like a no-brainer.......
