Oh, Jesus, my mom texted me that tomorrow she has to go in for CT and bloodwork again to see if her bone marrow & cancer hasn't returned. She has been cancer-free for 1 year, but she had been fighting endometrial cancer stage IV, which is scary because stage V is the worst it gets, so getting remission at stage IV is a great achievement. Then she waits another week for the results. Just one more thing to be anxious about. And she has had some spots on her lungs too that have worried me which I hope, I guess that are possibly the remnants of past cases of COVID she's had which isn't exactly good but better than cancer. Neither she nor my father have ever smoked, but she grew up with my grandfather, who did smoke. Plus, at that time, there was second-hand smoke any where you went - restaurants, dances, grocery stores, theaters. There was 2nd smoke at many of those places still when I was even growing up.
Like I needed another thing to be anxious about. Totally not her fault, she's worried too, asked for prayers from my sisters & me, so I'm definitely doing that.
Oh, I also wanted to add I hope those of you who are under the weather bounce back soon. For all that I injure myself or end up in the psych hospital, I almost never get physically sick. I haven't been sick for 3 or 4 years, maybe even longer, didn't even catch COVID when my daughter & husband had it pretty bad. I have never had COVID and not the flu for maybe 5 or 6 years. Now that I'm bragging, I'm sure to get sick. Murphy's law, right? I am very lucky in this regard though. Occasional seasonal allergies but even those not nearly as bad as H or my daughter.
