TIME MOVES ON

Today is the 29th ..no now its the 30th of July..It has been 10 months and 1 week since the dreaded knee replacement..Not that it gives me any trouble now..just will never be able to have the full bend and squat position i had before having it done..My doctor always asked if i can say im glad i had it done and poor guy...i honestly tell him...no I'm not..I could get down on it on all fours before with no ache and had no pain..i have no pain now but as far as getting down on it..thats a thing of the past.The only good side to this was my crooked leg is now straight..I can now maneuver stairs without one at a time..Knee replacements ,,I feel like the show on tv..I Survived...theres no telltale signs of having the new knee there except for the long white scar that slowly fades a little bit each day.And people say its swelling that is still there the reason the one knee looks more puffier but i say its the size of the knee he put in..time will tell.

Its almost the end of July..where has the summer gone too..everyone is waiting for the coolness of fall to be here..not me...I cherish the summer days no matter how hot they are because i can always find a cool spot to get in to..winter is too cold for me..If i had my rathers i would head somewhere warmer in the months of jan and feb..bask in a warmer climate and return in march.
In a little over 3 weeks the kids will be headed back to school and a routine once again rebounds.
Seems like it was yesterday they just got out.The days are weeks,,the weeks are months..the months turn to years and the cycle starts again.Every day is a new day..a new beginning and one day closer to the end of life..

The year 2010 has been received with deaths of friends and co-workers,school friends and acquaintances. Each day another victim falls to the unrelenting big C..I think this has to be the most devastating of all diseases we can get.It creeps in without your knowledge and more cases then not it brings its victim down with little or no warning..A well known family doctor..specializing in cancer was taken in a 4-5 week period not knowing til last month or so of his life what he had.By the time he realized he had 3 months to live ,he closed his practice to spend the last three months with his wife and 3 young children under 10 years of age but never lived those 3 months.How is it justified who is to go with what disease ..who is to suffer and who is to pass quickly..No one knows..A secret within itself..Two good friends learned they had cancer the first of the year.both had surgeries...after rounds of chemo and radiation they are out of the woods for the time being..not knowing whether this deadly disease is lying dormant for a few weeks,months,years.Only time will tell..The silent killer waiting to strike again.

Six months into the year of 2010 a lot has happened..Two new additons to the family by birth..several by marriage and I'm sure by years end there will be few more exciting bits of news to happen.Like sand through the hour glass ,life is a journey..each decade is more advanced and consuming then the one before it.Looking around and hearing the small ones talk and play makes you wonder what the future children will be like.

Time..If you could measure time ..what would it be..the end and beginning of time..no one knows .Life is a mystery...a journey down a road with no end in sight..where upon entering the next bend in the road it could be over...no stopping what is willed to be..A car wreck down the road killed a local couple and their 4 and 6 year old daughters last week..Would things have been done different if they knew this wreck was going to happen..First of all weather was blamed for the deaths..Not so...It was because of 4 badly worn tires they had on their car.what a price to pay...4 worn tires ..4 deaths..but then again ..if they would have had 4 good tires ,was this their destiny..to be killed at this time regardless of the tire factor.

ahh ..the mystery of life..here today ..gone tomorrow..not knowing what lies ahead ..each day you wake up could be your last...gives you something to think about..thats life.
