What is going on?
Tests so far, CT scan, shows a nasty little booger in my right lung! Then a guided cat scan Biopsy did not indicate Cancer but the junk was still there, How about doing a PET scan, Hello great three dimension view of the little devil, something is there OK, the CT scope lit up like a Christmas tree. well back to the drawing board. Another Cat scan guided Biopsy. This time they think they got enough of a sample to identify the CANCER, I go Friday for a review then who knows, Looks like MD Anderson and I will get real familiar. Till next time, a few words to the man up stairs would not hurt, I'll keep you all posted. always think positive WB

Am I Different?
Ever had anything in your life happen that changes your life? I don't mean fame, fortune, new car or any of that material STUFF1 How bout a real change!
After a routine Physical at about 77, and all the tests are in, the one thing that no answer to could be pinned down was this feeling " why am I so tired?" I get plenty of sleep, Eat well, taking off a few pounds, feel pretty good overall, but there is something that is not quite right!
Going back years, my blood work has been good, chest xrays good except for an old scar from a bout with pneumonia when I was little. Three Hip replacements, minor knee surgery and 2 seizures (no cause found).
Well the Chest xray showed up something that was not there a year ago, Dr sent me for a CT Scan, Results did verify something but need more test, how bout a biopsy? That was done and though nothing really showed up, they decided to do a CT/PET Scan.
July 19 2012, went for my appointment, waited my normal unreasonable time and was called in you know the routine, weight, Blood pressure, O2 Level? temp, and pulse. Everything normal as it has been for the better part of 20 years, then to the exam room to sit. You know Dr's offices Magazines are really old, some go back to the early Bush days and tons of the Medical books, Who in the heck can understand them, let alone read them they have their own secret code.
The Doctor comes in, chart in hand exchange greetings, then he looks at your test results, there is a pause, looks, at it again then says your test are positive. Normally you would think Positive is good, Negative is bad, Not so in this world. I have Lung CANCER. I told him "let's get it taken care of! So here we are looks like it's going to get busy.
I guess the thing I want to say, before the test no one thought of me as being sick, NOW I got this GLOB in my lung I am treated with some difference, You feeling OK?, How are you? ETC ETC ETC, I have not changed, I am the same person I was yesterday and I am sure you will know when I do get "SICK"
Tell your friends and loved ones be concerned but don't Hover over me, we will fight this together!

ELECTIONS ELECTIONS ELECTIONS
A little over three years ago we were in fever pitch campaigning to see which "Person" would be our new President, and leader of the free World. 52% of the voters with something to gain got their wish! They have not realized yet how they were fooled and how they still get fooled.
We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.'
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year...the teacher related.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.
Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.
This is the ice cream Obama promised us!
Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.
Well, the Cow went dry and then died. All that was left was the BULL, and that's what he has tried to feed us the last 44 months, that's right "THE BULL S**T"

THE
COW AND THE ICE CREAM
ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

AND
WHY HE MAY DO IT AGAIN.
We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.'
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year...the teacher related.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
To
simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other
class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these
students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie
and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a
great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I
thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental
support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they
were to make their speeches. Jamie went first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now
is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise.
She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes!
We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to.
