DANGER ZONE

WOW WHAT A WEEK........ A WEEK AND A HALF OUT OF BACK SURGERY LATE MONDAY NIGHT I GET A CALL FROM MY SISTER IN LAW THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM IN YEARS, TELLING ME MY BROTHER HAS DIED OF A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. HE WAS 53 AND HAD LIVED HIS LIFE IN A WORLD OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL NEVER CLOSE TO ANY OF THE FAMILY. I FELT BAD BUT LIKE BAD IF IT WERE MY NEIGHBOR. WE NEVER WERE CLOSE. THE SERVICE WAS FRIDAY BUT DUE TO MY SURGERY I COULDN'T RIDE OR SIT THAT LONG SO I DIDN'T GO. STRANGE HOW LIFE HITS YOU... I FOUND A SMALL TUMOR ON MY PRECIOUS DOBERMAN PHOENIX WHO IS NEARLY 2 1/2 THE VET IS GOING TO TAKE IT OFF ON JULY 2 AND SEND IT TO MSU TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. WE HOPE NOT CANCER...IT IS SIMULAR TO THE TUMOR MY FIRST DOBERMAN CANDY HAD BUT THE VET THINKS BECAUSE OF HER AGE IT IS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT I'LL FEEL BETTER WHEN THE LAB TELLS ME THAT. WELL TIME TO GO REST THIS BACK...... SITTING IS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE STILL. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THERAPY STARTS NEXT MONTH.
