April 7
In the last six weeks:
My big sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a lumpectomy, they found no spread, she’s on radiation every day for a month, then meds for five years, and every reason to believe she will be fine.
My little sister was in the hospital for a week with what was eventually diagnosed as gastroenteritis. She’s been terribly sick and off work for a month.
My friend Ljubica’s son was in a very serious motorcycle accident and is still in the hospital three weeks later.
And now, a tooth just fell out of my mouth and I’ll tell ya, it feels ExPensive, but I’ve got some perspective right now and it hardly seems worth mentioning.
