Living with Cancer

Last week I had a Dr. appointment on Monday with

an orthopedic surgeon to find out about getting a pin

in my leg. But, he was a spine Dr. not a hip Dr.

He told me, at first, that I needed to be using a walker or

crutches. By the end of the appointment, however, we'd

worked it down to a cane. I was also scheduled for another

appointment on last Thursday to see a hip Dr.

At that appointment I found out: I have to use a walker,

I'm not supposed to put weight on that leg, he said to

walk as little as possible, the tumor has

eaten 75% of the top of the leg bone and it breaking is just

a matter of when. They wouldn't let me walk out of the

office I had to ride in a wheelchair. I also found out the last Dr. doesn't do

surgery on patients with cancer, it requires a specialist, so today

I have another appointment with that Dr.

When I found out I had to have a walker I asked Chuck

to call his mom. His sister was able to get a walker and a wheelchair

for me to use. What a blessing.

Saturday, Chuck took me to a small art festival in Winter Springs.

He made me use the wheelchair. I have to say it was very relaxing for

me but a lot of work for him (there were a couple of hills).

This was the best show I've been to in a while. It wasn't huge

but the art was good which I wasn't expecting. I thought it would

be more crafts because it was a smaller show. This first photo is for

"Tricia" I know how much you love clowns.
