Mini-novel : We rely so much on our own strength & will, god's whim & ways - coupled & sometimes doubled by the kindness of strangers & friend alike... this 'game' we're now facing we step ahead to slip behind, then something new changes the rules, the 'win situation,' or the game outright - chutes & ladders w/ the board changing & battery draining but we're too far from or lost the charger... we've got a, thankfully, straight-honest Dr who's telling it like it is & the specialists & staff I've met thus far decent ( & worried, too, w/ a touch of amazed )... he really shouldn't have made it this far, hate to say, w/ "brand new complications" arising & we start dealing w/ the previous one - nothing has been beaten yet, only put in temporary submission, IF that. It's tough & can only imagine how or what HE is feeling, let alone fully understanding. Likely hard choices on the very-near horizon ( as if we just didn't !! ), planned full-on talk on Sun w/ Dr & etc. And this Younger Thom is exhausted & starting to break, but I know Elder Tom needs a bit of my strength & hard will, as does sis ...and worried family & friends.
ANYways, good morn from ND - and hells thanx for the words & thoughts, even if I don't respond in thanX, it's seen & known <3
