Oh so many comments come to mind after reading the past few post. But I shall hold my tongue in respect for the normal members and guests.

I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

I was cruiseing the topics and ran into this one. I read all the comments and figured its time to let my friends know why I was gone.....
OK I guess its time to come clean. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Got it removed but lost more than half of my pancreas and my entire spleen as well. At the time it didn't look good at all. I was terrified. Was a long recovery but it happened. Back then, and pretty much now as well, no one survives this type of cancer and I was sure I wouldn't. I was rushing to get things in order for my family so I was pretty busy....and ill. To everyones surprise.... I survived the first year, then it came back and it decided to grow slowly and not affect other organs. Today it is still there and still growing slowly. Its nearly 10 years now since the operation on july 14 2014. My doctors kind of consider me a freak now. They cannot tell me why I'm still alive. I've even spooked some new doctors.
As of today that cancer is stable but I found out a few months ago that my heart muscle is simply wore out and there isn't much they can do. So its congestive heart failure plus a few other heart issues. I'm starting to fill up with fluids. Soon some organs won't get the blood they need to survive and so it goes. I can't do much of anything now, even walking anywhere wears me out. I spend a lot of my time at the hospital. Of course not having much pancreas left I have diabetes now, full insulin type and emphysema as well....and a few other issues.
So 20 years ago my heart doctor said I might live another 10 years, its long past that. Then the cancer doctors expected me to survive maybe a few months, surprised the hell out of them, now its......10 years. Now with the major heart issues I'm back to surviving maybe another 2 years.
With all that said I thank the Lord for this extra time. And I thank all the snuson members for....well everything. I am sorry I had to leave for a while back then but it was just so overwhelming and I was laid up for quite a while. I didn't want to start posting about my health issues thinking that some members might think I'm looking for sympathy either. I needed to take the time to deal with it in my own head. I should have been gone years ago.
This was difficult for me to finally reveal, sorry. It is what it is
There is a bit more but I'll spare you. So sorry for such a long post.
I learned one thing going thru all this.......I think its better to get hit by a bus, its a lot easier and quicker. But probably a bit messier.
