just another mammo

well its been a year since my last post. mammo time again. i went monday feb. 16th. it went well very quickly and no extra film was needed. on the 20th i got the results. wouldnt you know, they see someting. it appears to be non cancerous. but, they want a followup in 6 months. well thus is the life. doesnt surprise me at all. im not gonna worry about it. in the mean time. im feeling great, getting on with life as a cancer survivor. i bought a treadmill. have been trying to walk a mile 3 or 4 days a week at least. im really surprised that i can. i figured it would make my hips or knees hurt, but remarkably my joints feel better. i was doing so good the first month i lost 8 pounds. then i started feeling bad my bp was a little high. so i eased up on walking. then ben got sick and passed it to me. some sort or tummy bug. i didnt walk for at all for a week. now im back to walking i hope i can keep it up. i really feel so much better when i walk. oh and a quick word about the holidays. we had a guest for christmas. prariedog is a truck driver. he had a run to southern wv just before christmas. so since he was that close we asked him to spend the holidays with us. he parked his truck at our super walmart. it was so good to share our holiday with him. at least he wasnt alone like so many other drivers that haul cross country. everyone needs friends and family and especially on holidays. he was perfect gentleman and not a bit of bother. we loved having him with us. everyone should apreciate americas truck drivers they do a lot to keep us in our necessaties that we use in our everyday lives. everything we use is brought by truck to our stores. where would we be without them. its not an easy life being a truck driver they dont get paid near enough for all they do. my family is great as always. love you all a bunch. ben, angie, cass, and bud, you make my life so happy and full. till next time world i wish good health and happiness to all. padiddle, Robin
