Hello,

Sorry to hear that you are having to endure so much recently. I am also in Sales, Real Estate. I am 46 years old, live in Illinois and have had surgery four to six times a month for the last for months or so. That is my normal routine this time of year while business is slower. I am near the end of it now and will take a break untill the fall.

What type of radical surgeries did you have? Was it for Melanoma?

Kind regards,

Bud

Hi I have just joined your group & you can read about me in my journal. I am sorry you went through all this on your own. I have had several Ops & see Consultant every 2 mths. Awaiting major surgery to remove muscles from top of right arm gland under the arm and the muscle on the back. Malignant Melanoma, plus loads of other things, & now they think I may hav Lupus too!! I dont sleep much so tend to do this at night. I am a good listener & have had so much done plus take so many medications, my husband says he wonders a) why I dont rattle and b)its easier to ask what I havent got !!! keep in touch Regards Panchita.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
