ANOTHER BLOOD LETTING

Grapevine, TX

Prince William, my every six month blood taker always knows that I take pics everytime I have to go in for cancer testing. The battery of those tests are over and the Doc said everything looked good as far as he knows right now, except he was worried why I've lost 11 pounds since the last testing. The reason for that is because when I stress I have a hard time eating but I'm making sure now to eat at least 2 good meals a day. We won't know my numbers or the info from the other x-rays and stuff til Thursday. I'm sure I'm okay. If all goes well, only two more 6 month tests to go and then I can go yearly and be able to actually get insurance on my own without a waiver! Whoo hoo!!!

Cindi....I hope everything is still wonderfully OK. Do take it easy and make sure you have those 2 meals every day. Unfortunately a lot of us have the reverse problem when stressed.....eat too many meals a day & snack in between...and that's not good either, of course!

I'm glad things are still positive. Hang in there.

You know I was going to go into medicine before I discovered I faint at the sight of blood. (Particularly my own.) That and the fact I don't like being around sick people. (Just kidding...) Then again I was going to go into astronomy, but I wanted my nights free, and I was going to go into the clergy but I wanted Sunday's off, and I was going to go into...

Great shot Cindi. My heartfelt wishes for your continued good health. :-)

super, at least you will be playing with us for quite some time. And it looks like your blood is red, this is a good thing.

I wish you well, and congrats on making it through another six months.
