    Lousey Year
    My baby sister who is far more wise than I told me "God never gives you more than you can handle". In my line of work with what I've seen and been through...I'm not sure that is true. I have noticed that sometimes life balances the good and the bad and sometimes that is enough to get you through. All the best Lou

    He never says He won't give you more than you can handle
    The free will He gives you is what gives you more than you can handle. He is there to make sure that if needed all you have to do is ask Him for help, He won't do the work for you though...........

    Do you mean they thought your wife had breast cancer but she doesn't?

    yes they were very sure after mammography , as much as they
    prefer to make a mastectomy and then the biopsy afterwards, but doctors were very pessimistic, thanks God ,yes in this case haha, false alarm but can you imagine what a couple of weeks?So in those cases to whom do we have to blame?
    Hugs.

    I am like you too. I keep things to myself most of the time. I get false alarms with mamograms too and am so tired of them, the cancer scares and biopies every year that I haven't had one in a couple of years. Now that I am watched with the colon cancer I figure they might catch breast cancer if it really comes up. I know, sounds stupid but, it's been every year for what seems like forever going through breast biopsies.

    I'm sorry for your tough time here recently. Seems like this has been one of those years for many. Worse one for me ever. Hang in there. I am so glad that Tote is OK. Give each other a big HUG!

    I've taken to thinking of the life challenges as hilo in the tapicería of my life. I get them and am responsible to tramar them into the tela that I will leave behind one day. Your faith will color your life in a positive way. Mantener la fe.
    (hope I got the Spanish right!)

    Wow!
    I am so glad that turned out to be a false alarm, but it sure must have been stressful.

    Pat...
    What a cruddy year it's been in your life. Losing your parents so close to each other has go to be REALLY hard on a person.

    I think we're all thankful for this forum and the understanding people that we have here.

    Big hugs to you...

    No
    I just thought you weren't here as often. Could this be part of the reason you weren't sleeping very well?
