I’m again having my fair share of up and down days. One or two things are going on which I am dealing with that are bringing many thoughts into my mind, of where I’m at.

The other evening whilst getting ready for bed, I noticed when I looked in the mirror that the lesion, which consisted of two or three lesions, hasn’t all been removed, so now I am going back to the Specialist on Thursday to see if he can remove the rest.

Although it’s not the Specialist’s fault, because it was in such an difficult place, but the fact that I am going back for more treatment doesn’t please me. That’s another appointment; another scheduled date for treatment if the Specialist agrees, another minor operation and more time for recovery after treatment.

My other thought is that there is also a lot of unease from those around me. We all have different things that we deal with of course and although some of our problems stem from what we deal with, they also stem from how others' and how they deal with what they have to deal with. Not really our problem.

Lots of thoughts, but up until the day my mother became ill, she was still in contact with many of her friends as they had been all her life. I find it sad that with everything that goes on in people’s lives today, this doesn’t happen as much.

I don’t remember a time that my parents fell out with their friends or had a crossed word. Friends and friendships back then were based on honesty, integrity, truth, respect and fairness. Problems seemed to be resolved without a crossed word. Now we all have to be careful what and how we say things.

Our world doesn’t seem to work like that right now.
