Hi guys and gals! First,thank you for the faves and watches and notes.been a long time on here regularly.decided to retire from 15 years at Lowe’s home improvement at60 years of age and now it’s my turn to enjoy my 401 k and ss funds. Last November 30th I was diagnosed with Metastatic cancer in my upper back and neck suddenly.the pain was so severe I could not sit up for more than 10 minutes,drive a car,work,etc.it brought me down so badly and the doctors said immediate surgery was immensely required.had I ignored the situation right now or later in March,I’d be in a hospice a quadropalegic.the surgery had to be done on a moments notice and I lost my insurance because of my untimely retirement and had very little savings.now... I’m doing the treatments,follow up appts. And feel like new person again.seven cervucals and a massive tumor were removed and the bones fused.its a five year fix so to speak and later? We’ll see.radiaton and chemo are the next steps.but right now I’m gonna do things! Draw more, travel,new drum set and get back into a band. Gotta keep busy when I heal up and do things for myself instead of big box entities.for the record,metastatic cancer starts elsewhere and mine ended up in the most inconvenient section of my body.a very nasty blow to anyone’s life! Stay heathy yall and be safe.ill post my new hobbies in scraps and new art too *hugs*
