What a story, i had no idea you battled cancer. I had cancer when i was only a few months old my dad discovered a bump on the bottom of my leg. the doctors had no idea what it was, couldnt figure it out. so they sent 3 biopsys to different parts of the country. finally a diganosis was found and it was a very rare type of cancer. my dad told me what it was awhile ago i forget the name but extremely rare kind. my parents were left which a tough decision, amputate my leg at the knee or die.

Of course my parents picked the first choice or else i would not be here sharing my story ;). Iam grateful to be alive, and i want to really LIVE again (without pills) without the drug haze as i like to call it that just follows u every step in life. so looks.... like we have more than one thing in common my friend Reach. we both battled and survived cancer.

I grew up with a prosthetic. i get around great, i USED to be very active in sports before the dang drugs took a hold of me, i remeraber when i was a kid id head out in the morning and just take off on the bike or go play football with frienRAB until nighttime. This is who iam and ive always accepted it.

The pills however are NOT who iam. So...I will keep fighting, day by day, I will be in your shoes someday Reach. Things are getting easier slowly, i feel better than yesterday.

Iam trilled to hear about you seeing your family, and that you can TRUELY enjoy it. that really made my smile. family is so important, frienRAB as well.


Talk with you later buddy. :wave:

Hi Ice


It's been awhile, hasn't it? My life has been a bit hectic (for my life) and I have not been posting much. Easter, birthdays and out-of-town company have kept me busy of late. Also, some extra duty babysitting for the grandbabies to help out during a small family crisis. Then poor hubby's back went out and I needed to care for him. All-in-all, probably more activity than I have had in a long time. I have been able to rest the last couple of days and feel more refreshed now.

How goes it wqith you, Buddy? Have you maintained? I sure hope so. Sometimes when we get back into the 'swing" of life, it can be a overwhelming. If the pills call our names during overwhelming times, we have got to push that voice down and march on. The calling stops eventually. Yes, it does. A time will come when pills won't even enter our thinking as we go through life sober. We become more and more able to function without them as a coping skill. I get a boost everytime I just face life head on and deal with whatever falls in my path. It boosts my confidence and I think to myself, "Yes, I can do this." Funny the things that used to send me into a spiral of panic... a visit with frienRAB or family, thinking about a chore or a bill that was due. I look back now and see that I had taught myself to fear everything. Blah. It was a lousy life like that.

So we reteach the old brain new tricks. Smiles. Never too old or too far gone to work on that. I still have much to learn and look forward to the lessons that come.

Give a shout when you can. I continue to hold you up in my prayers and thoughts.

Always
