Sunset In Hawaii



I am so excited....Good news to report.   There are two ends of the spectrum where the cancer can be (BAD..............to...............GOOD)   I am toward the good side.  It's not the aggresive kind, happy day.   I start chemo tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.  Takes 2 &1/2 hrs. to administer.   Dr. Rado is an incredible man, kind, soft spoken and chooses his words very methodically as if he is calculating each word so it comes out just right.  I will be going every 3 wks. on Weds. at 11:00 A.M.   For how long, I really don't know, at this time.
Everyone has their own cubicle with a very comfortable looking, oversized, lazy-boy.  Also another chair (not so comfortable looking), a TV I can watch my own DVD's on and other things I don't remember.  I will take a picture and post-it.  Also I can walk around with the drip system, and partake of the goodies and drink, they provide.  Listen to this, free facials, and all kinds of classes and it's all free.  Sh, I don't want the word, to get around, what fun I will be having.  Also I can have visitors.  Maybe I should put up a sign that says (WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CUBICLE)  : - ).

This is long but funny,

Dear Judy Beth,
I'm writing this slow cause I know you can't read fast.  We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper where the most accidents happened within twenty miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address as the last Missouri family that lived here took the numbers with them for their next house so they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, I pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week...Three days the first time, and four days the second time.

The coat you wanted me to send you, Aunt Annie said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail, with them heavy buttons on it, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

We got a bill from the funeral home, said if he didn't make the last payment on Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes.

About your sister......She had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a boy or a girl so I don't know if you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your Uncle Amil fell in the whiskey vat., some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We creamated him and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pick-up. One was driving, the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two drowned. They couldn't get the tailgate down. Not much more news this time, nothing much has happened.
                                                           
Your sister,

Erma Lee   
                                                                                   
P.S. I was going to send you money, but the envelope was already sealed.



Thought for today

We can't do everything for everyone
everywhere, but we can do something
for someone somewhere.
