A Time for Grumpin!

Maybe I am not in the best mood to write this entry tonight, but then, maybe I am. Got back from the VA today after a CT Scan and another Bone Marrow biopsy. Those by themselves have the potential to turn a beautiful Oregon spring day into something less than a rainy day in December and on top of that the doctor told me that the CT Scan had revealed a small mass on ny left lung and another in a lymph node near my pancreas. Tests will begin immediatley to determine the nature of those masses and for the time being we have cancelled the tooth extraction untill it can be determined what we are dealing with. Well, thats a good thing, but that also means we have to cancel my steak eating party prior to the extraction event. Currently we are still scheduled for end of June, first week in July for the transplant in Seattle, yet depending the outcome of these new tests, that may change also. Blood counts still look good and I feel great, worked all day yesterday making some modifications on the kennel and plan to spread barkdust and begin the pond filter tomorrow. We have another pond in the canyon and it is the most beautiful place this time if year. The elk have been using the area extensively and we look forward to seeing calves make thir debut any time now. A pair of mallards have setup home on the pond and saw a flock of geese drop in yesterday, as a bonus I have a new beautiful little 9lb grand daughter, healthy as a horse, MaMa is doing fine also, thank you ....... There, I feel better already just talking about the things I love. It is a good thing to live in today....my brother has a saying that he puts at the bottom of his emails....."yesterday is history, tomorrow is future but today is a gift, that's why they call it the present". Too often, I lament at what could have been and the dumb decisions I have made and spend way too much time planning and worrying about tomorrow, today was a beutiful day, full of turns in my Adventure of Life and I am now writing this to people in my life who care..... so, maybe I'll go get a dish of ice cream......why don't you do that also!!!!!!!!!
