Who'd a Thunk?

I think that sometimes I thought MS was the worst that could happen to me. Wrong! So wrong…

 

We finished Christmas prep/cookies, and had a beautiful celebration. All the family was there, and we had a great time. As things wound down, I decided to get the swollen feet checked out again, by the doctor I like. He put me right in the hospital for treatment on January 6^th, and thus began my whirlwind journey.

 

I received care for the swelling and blisters and was ready for some rehab. However, just before my release, they decided I had pneumonia. Three days later that diagnosis changed and tests began. I had cat scans, fluid draws, bone scans, biopsies, and blood drawn.

 

The end result? I have lung cancer which metastasized to my bones. It’s stage IV and incurable. I’ve opted for symptom treatment and eventually hospice. Right now, we’re living at my daughter’s, and I’m receiving excellent care.

 

Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers as we move along. I’ll stop in to update.

 

Peace,
