This last year has been the hardest fight if my life. And a fight it is. In May my oncologist had the "talk" with me and it went something like this:

There's no cure for multiple myeloma. Most people live for years after getting the diagnosis, but need ongoing treatment to slow the disease's progress. You may have a remission, but the disease often comes back.

Treatments to fight it may stop working. If that happens, you may want to focus on making sure you're as comfortable as possible, known as palliative care. You may not be able to control your cancer, but you can control choices about how you'll live your life.

So you will realize why I cherish everyday. I have a 7 year old daughter that I most likely will never see grow up and get married and all the daddy stuff you go though. I have accepted this and don't let it get me down. I live for today.

I'm sorry it's really not my intention to make people cry just to let everyone know that if you think your life is bad or think you hate your life or are having a bad year there is always someone worse off then you. It's a shame sometimes we don't realize it until something bad or life-threatening happens. Just make the best out of any situation and realize how precious life is.

Sometimes easier said then done . . . :facepalm:
However I so hardily agree with "You" . . .

I couldn't agree more and that's exactly what I do when I'm having issues. And I have them every single morning. I'm not going in to that now but I just think about people that were born with everything wrong. They've never known 1 good day in their entire life and I thank the lord for the good ones I had. I realize how fortunate I was to have them.

Hey all. I had a couple of issues pop last night and am unable to catch up with everything. I'll probably be offline for a few days too.

Obviously this doesn't require me announcing it, but there's a game going on here and I don't want to negatively impact it.

IF allowed by DD, I am authorizing Kat to F!RE on my behalf (until I'm sunk). If not, I'm FINE with it, but don't wait for my shots. Once everyone has fired, move to the next round.

I had considered just dropping my ship into the drink myself (now), but decided against it. There's a party going on there and I don't want to mess that up ;-)

Thanks again, DD. This was far beyond simply "fun". I hope you hold this format for future contests. It was perfect for it.

Y'all take care and I'll see ya's on the flip side (pun intended).

DP it doesn't say anything against it in the rules. I don't see why she couldn't take you shots for you. Sorry about your issues my friend. If there's anything I can do for you just ask.

My life is of course not like yours. After each surgery I pray I will be better than I was before the surgery, add in the weird stuff and well, my outlook is much the same. Do what you can, ignore what you can't, and find some good every day.

Haven't caught up with the posts, and I don't know if you went past me or not, but if DD is here and you're waiting on me to start a new round, go ahead and start it.

I lost access to internet yesterday, and by the time I got it back, I was in too much pain to do anything. Too much running around in the cold and rain. I may already be kilt and not know it yet lol But please don't wait on me for this round, or any others if I survive this one. Gonna catch up on what I missed.

Deb, you can still shoot, I think. We haven't started the 8th round. I'm sorry you were feeling badly. Better today?
