For those of you who don't believe in God, I guess I can't ask this of you. But for those of you who do, I really need your prayers right now. I'm facing my life long nemesis Hodgkin's Disease (lymphatic cancer) again. Unlike most cancers that are considered "cured" after 5 years of remission, Hodgkin's is a rare form of lymphoma that NEVER goes away. It usually strikes the young, and even though I'm no longer a young woman, I have been battling it since I was 19 years old. The good news is although it never goes away, it is very treatable, and is far less deadly than Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The reason is because lymphoma is cancer of the lymph nodes, and no matter what cancer you have, once it spreads to the lymph system, your time is numbered.
My biggest problem right now is that my poor little body might not be able to take chemo, if that's the case, I'm not sure what the outcome will be. The emotional toll will be hard as well, but at least I do have people who love me, to help me get through it. So please keep me AND the ones that love me in your thoughts, as we prepare for battle once again.
To All Of You

GLORY DAYS
Another sleepless night. My record is 4 nights in a row, but that's a record I don't want to beat. It's funny the things one thinks of when one can't sleep. For the past few weeks I've been very ill, and yet for some strange reason at peace. Even thinking of the old days when I was young and full of life no longer makes me bitter and sad, but peaceful. I even laugh when I recall my so called "Glory Days" touring with the group, and having a blast meeting people in all the small towns we would go too.
A lot of times when I can't sleep I would watch netflix or youtube, but tonight I went searching for this video from The Boss called Glory Days I remember I was 18 or 19 when this came out so at the time I really didn't get the lyrics and what the song meant. Back then I just watched it to drool over Bruce's hot body! If I had listened to it a few months ago I would have either been bitter, or tears would have rolled down my face. But now I smile, think of my glory days, and totally relate to the song. Maybe when my chair is fixed and I feel a little better I should take a trip out to L.A. and to my old stomping grounds. The house I grew up in, the ball field where I leaned to play. I think we all reach a certain point in our lives where we long to go back and remember where we came from. I had a very happy childhood, so I know they will be good memories.
