A ray of sunshine on a frightening day

Leaving the Oncology center on January 9th I was hailed by a friend from years back. Someone that I hold dear to my heart. She herself is battling cancer and she lost a husband to it as well.  Peggy Petko and I have know each other since the mid 1970's.  She was the district administrator for District 14 Little League.  She spent a lot of time helping a rookie try to run a park when financial issues were at hand.  We sat and talked for awhile and of course she offered to help me any way I needed.  It is at times like this that you find out who will be there for you.  It helped so much and seeing her smile meant so much to me.

Today at breakfast I talked with one of my waitresses about what happened with the ibuprofen and she said "Oh my God, I take them by the handful!" She had been complaining about severe stomach pains. She is also going to finally get a colonoscopy after I told her how easy it is.  It is well worth the effort to schedule one and based on the Sarah Crane "Sarah Strong"  program we can see it matters little your age.
