This may not seem like a lot to some of you but to me it's huge. He must have all kinds of people wanting his time. Time is not just money, its everything. We only have so much of it. I sent Scott, back an up date on my situation.> Hi Scott,

They couldn't find the the primary. I have a nine day wait to find out what comes next. 

I face an uncertain future. It was made clear to me that is how it's always been.

None of us have a clear future. We make plans and God laughs. In a way this cancer has given me a clear future. I can live in fear or I can live in joy. I want JOY! The joy now comes from letting God do the driving and going along for the ride. I tried my hand at a little intellectual debate last night  on facebook and I am no intellectual. It was over the redistribution of wealth. Frankly I would have rather been talking to Matt, my soon to be homeless vet friend. We will brainstorm on what he can do and God will provide the answer. This is the JOY! Cancer did that for me, Now I know what is meant in the bible to die is to gain. It means to yourself, to your future, to giving up control and letting go. Lots of sayings in AA I like.  Let go and let God. I wish everyone had a 12 step program. We would have a lot less divorce and people wanting to control each other. Lack of power is my dilemma is one of my favorites my sponsor would have me say.
I'm not in charge. I just figured out I never have been. Time to start my day. Patti and I do it with prayer. Then we make our bed. Sometimes I let God make it.

We fixed supper for some long time friends the Daugherty's. Then they treated us to a Ballet.
Life is so Fun.
