It depends on how we look at things right? It can be just another day, whether what we face is good, bad, or indifferent. Or it can be a fantastic day, or rotten day. It's our choice. I like that I get to choose every day. Some days are better because I made better choices in attitude, or so many other areas in my life. Some days are just plain ROTTEN because I decided I wanted a ROTTEN day. I laugh at that because I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes I choose to have a ROTTEN day just because! And yet, when I choose that kind of day, I choose things that make it not feel so rotten, so maybe that is why I like them. HA!
Today holds the promise of being a rotten day. We head out this afternoon for a barage of doctor's appointments, and listen to their recommendations or opinions on what my future holds. They have already made it crystal clear that chemotherapy is the next logical step for me. They may be right. While I know this poison they infuse me with is going to hurt me, it also is going to kill any little bad guys that might have escaped the scapel and are in there just waiting to cause me more grief.
But then, what if the little bad guys are already gone? The damage from the poison can and most probably will cause life changing side effects. Geez, sure would like to avoid that one if I could.
My family wants to know what I'm going to do. I don't know. They understandably want to know where to put their feelings, and right now because I haven't chosen a course of treatment, their feelings are just out there, hanging around, bumping into each other, creating other feelngs that are not good, and just wanting to know where to go.
At this point, the only thing I know for certain, is that this can be as complicated as I wish it to be. I hate complications. So I choose not complicated!
I'll be back later with my uncomplicated, and simple solution(s) and just know it's going to be okay, no matter what.
I remember when I finally quit smoking for the last time. It worked because I kept it simple. I took all the clutter in my brain and dismissed it. I only focused on one thing: I chose to never smoke again. And it worked! Hope you have a good day.

I hope things will be ok for you and the decision will be very obvious to you. That way you can make it and move on to better things. You are such an inspiration. Take care.
The first two weeks of your quit will be the hardest thing you do in your life unless you must quit again. Not one puff! --Janet--

Hi Judy, I haven't been able to get into QSJ for a long time. I've been reading your posts and have caught up with all that is going on. I'm praying for you Judy. I know you will make the right choice as to how to proceed. Very hard choice but you have had other hard ones that you have dealt with and made the right decision. Sending you huge hugs.
