Okay, here is my life for the last week and a half.
My Uncle Abe's cancer, which we thought was successfully treated, has gone into his bones. It is a type of bone cancer that does NOT respond to treatment. The doctors have given him about 16 months.
My dad is having surgery on his elbow. Apparently, he popped a tendon in his elbow. The surgery has been scheduled for Monday, August 13th.
My other Uncle, Arend, is getting shipped out with the Navy. He is going to Djibouti, in Africa. Now, I had no idea that we even had troops there. So, I am hoping to learn as much as I can. Therefore, I have a mission for everyone that reads this...please fill me in on what you know. I am freaking out. I cried for 20 minutes when I heard and I want to just keep crying. I know that this is probably safer than Iraq, but this still sucks!!!
So, needless to say, I am ready to curl up in a ball and forget that the world exists, even if for a few hours.
Ed's mom is heading to Japan. She is going to be teaching there for a few months. I am very excited for her. My friend, Kimmer, spent some time there and was nice enough to give mom a few pointers.
Oh, I am having my very first golf lesson on Saturday morning at 9am. I am looking forward to it. It will be nice to learn how to golf and then Ed & I can hit the courses together.
