Sometimes I Get So Angry

Before I go on my rant, I'll do a quick update on Chad's health.

We spent some time in the ER last week. Unrelated to any of his current ailments. He did something and pulled a muscle in his back/side. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't breath or move. His concern was a broken rib or something related to the spinal injury. 

The X-Ray showed nothing of concern (don't they always lol) so we went on our merry way. It's a slow trek but he is improving. He's coaching Pinto Baseball (and doing a marvelous job if I do say so myself) He is keeping busy around the house and seems to be doing fairly well *knock on wood*. Pain of course, don't get me wrong but he soldiers on and pushes through it. There's even a job prospect in the near future - so any prayers and positive vibes would be much appreciated! 

Now it's time to vent. Unrelated to Chad. Well Kinda.


I HATE CANCER. 

 I truly, truly do. I hate it. A friend of mine who I know through work was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last Fall and is now on her last days and it absolutely devastates me. This woman had the best attitude about life, she was always happy and joking around and I believe her mission in life was to make people smile.  She did that and the legacy she'll leave behind will continue to bring smiles and warmth to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

I hate cancer. I just really, really hate it. :'(
