Senior Moment

A friend recently gave me the book “LIVESTRONG: Inspirational Stories from Cancer Survivors”. I’ve only read a few of the stories so far but they are inspiring. It is interesting that many of them start out, “I became a cancer survivor MMDDYYYY”, which is actually the day they were diagnosed with cancer. So I guess I’m a member of a new club. The price of membership is steep but the rewards will be felt for years to come.

Speaking of clubs, there’s another one I will probably be joining soon (don’t get your back up against the wall GoodLife people). It’s called Wellspring. It’s a support centre for people living with cancer and their families. My family doctor had told me about it so I decided to try and find the Web site. I went on the City of London Web site and when I entered the search, Wellspring came up in the Seniors section. A little discouraging…I’m not that old! At the moment I have visions of going to Wellspring and playing checkers with the seniors for hours on end. Seriously though, they do seem to have a number of good resources from support groups, massage, yoga etc. Maybe Chris and Andrea can join me instead of going to their “hot yoga” classes. (FYI – hot yoga is a yoga class done in a room with a temperature of a zillion degrees.)

Tomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for. Steve has prepared all the questions again. We are cautiously optimistic. Considering that for the most part I feel completely fine, it sometimes boggles my mind that anything could be wrong. We’ll see what tomorrow brings and go forward from there.

Talk to you tomorrow,
