Today I celerbrate my 64th birthday as well as my 2 year anniversary with EC. Though worse for the ware, I am thankful for the ability to see 64 years and to be here to visit with friends today. Hospice is doing a great job in controlling my pain. That is the best birthday present I could have right now. Am much weaker, but did sit out under the trees yesterday afternoon. That was great. Again, thank each of you for your love and support over these last months. Sam, stage IV and fading.

    Happy Birthday Sam!
    Happy Birthday Sam! Thank you for sharing part of the day with us. You are on our minds and in our prayers. So glad you could get outside for awhile. That always makes Don feel better. One day last week he spent quite a bit of time in his pole barn with a few of his buddies and that was so nice for him. He was quite tired that night, but he loves to get out to that barn and tinker around.

    Glad to hear hospice is working out well for you. From what I have read on here, they seem to be very helpful and we are fortunate to have them.

    Praying for continued painfree days to you and outdoor days as much as possible.

    Sending you hugs and 64 birthday spankings!
