Life sucks - and then you die

Rotten week. Wife found out (after colonostomy) she has cancer (early stages but not nice kind of cancer). I go half blind in my left eye (retina hemoraging or something). Sometimes you wonder....

Brutal is right.

I hope your wife pulls out of this with flying colours. And, I'm hoping you can see those colours.

Life is so fickle sometimes. We complain alot about useless crap, but it can toned down in a heartbeat.

Take care, J. I'm hoping for the two of you.

Sorry for whining and feeling sorry for myself. Usually when someone (or thing) knocks me on my ass I get up fighting (and NEVER have lost yet!)..

Still shaking the cobwebs before I get up I guess. So far I beat bladder cancer, kidney stones, ankylosing spondilitus (look that one up ), one daughter jumping off a 10 story building, 2 divorces, a bankruptcy, etc etc...

Wife is in good spirits. We'll "plod" on...

Sorry to hear all of this. But you have won against things like this before, no reason to believe that you wont win again.

I wish you both the best.

Wow, I really hate this for you and your wife J, hang in there and fight like you obviously have in the past and you both will pull through this. Sure kinda puts hitting a few bad golf shots in perspective though huh? Mine and my families prayers will be with you both.

Sorry to hear that man! You have a lot of (on-line) buddies / friends here rooting for you and your wife. Feel the positive energy.
