"Home from Hawaii...and quit my job! YAY!!! LOL"
1:25am Monday
Let me start giving the update Mood
Monday, November 9, 2009 | A General Update story

Well, when I was last here, hubby had just been dx with cancer.  He had three surgeries and 4 months of intense chemo but I'm thrilled to say he's had his first clear scan.  Sadly, as a result of the chemo he now has some severe vitamin D deficiencies and has significant kidney failure...but it's not at dialiysis stage and who knows, it may or may not get there.  For now, he's doing well and that's a major blessing.

 

WorK????  Well., not sure how long I'll be employed.  I actually met with two of my board members complete with resignation in hand back in early October, but they convinced me to hold until certain protocols were put into place.  Well, I'm truly feeling it's time for multiple reasons...and I'm even seeing the silver lining in making the decisin to leave, even if the decision is based on some proble,s with others I work with.Whatever., this will all work it self out.

 

I had both my hands operated on for carpal tunnel.  Still not fully strong yet, but overall a great decision.

 

And the most exciting news, Hubby and I leave for Hawaii in two days.  Yippee!!!

 

Hope all is well with all of you.

 

Missed you all, and hope to have the chance to reconnect with you all.  Love to you all, Mary
