I'm more reflective (and it isn't due to all the tiny mirrors glued to my wetsuit).

Bet you look like a neoprene disco-ball! :wakawaka:

We all hope she is doing well! My father suffered from Huntington's disease. It lasted for close to 18 years until it took him at age 49. I can kind of relate to what you and your family are experiencing. Again, my prayers and thoughts are with you and all your family.

Which end is up?

My mother just called with great news. My sister just came out of surgery. It turned out that the "cancer" was nothing more than a normal inflammation of the lung. The surgeon removed it, but there are no future problems associated with it and she should make a quick recovery. They only made a small incision.

Thanks to all the SingleDivers members who kept her in their thoughts and prayers!

Wonderful news Dr. Bill..............so glad all is better with you and your family. The power of prayer is a wonderous miracle to behold (and it works) I am sure you feel the weight of the world has been lifted off your shoulders! Get some R&R you've earned it. :2cool:

That's wonderful drbill, glad to hear the good news!

Hopefully the tide will turn soon for your sister as well, Michael. In the meantime, we'll continue to send positive energy, thoughts, and prayers her way.
