One day this week

I truly believed that I would be home safe and sound while launching this blog. One broken leg and cancer throughout my body has changed my entire life. Last week on the 24th of August I was brought to the hospital by ambulance. My doctor thought that I might have a blood clot in my right thigh. Wow, this also happened to be the one day my dear friend Ginger flew out from Florida for a quick a special visit. But that 'one' day ended up in the Emergency Room at Torrance Memorial Hospital. The blood clot turned in to a broken leg brought about by the cancer having spread throughout my body and eating straight through the bone in my right thigh.

The cancer is old news for my family, at least four weeks old. With all of my life moving rapidly, I've accepted all news via lightning speed and morbid haste. My family is taking this within my usual thought that "it isn't good, it isn't bad, it just is". Rarely has anything changed my thinking as quickly as facing an 'end of life' tour. The best plan is to have no plan. Take each thought, each event, and each bit of news with one bit of salt.

I couldn't go to the Neil Diamond Concert last night, I gave those tickets to Shelby. I couldn't visit that 'one day' with Ginger except to invite her to a very exciting day at the hospital. Her entire day was to obtain the full information program of my medical distress. She flew back to Florida Saturday morning with her mission complete without a special visit and lunch. Just taking life as it "is".

I'll move right along to September 31, 2012 as this is the day I hoped to launch this blog. I figured it would be a promise worth keeping. Since I doubt if anyone imagined this news at this time in this way I honor my unique personality. With this writing I will be able to begin regular and irregular postings. I am only communicating via the blog through your comments. My staying quiet and much to myself I know you will all understand.

Be well, stay well and stay close.
