Great walk

Yesterday I was to walk with my teammate and another participant of the 3 day event. I showed up at the alloted time, and coudn't find either one. So I walked on my own. It was a humid 90 degrees, but the breeze and scenery were excellent. I went to Big Springs Park here in Huntsville. They do fun things like "A Movie in the Park" or summer concerts. The Art Museum and some other cool things are there as well. I can't wait to go back, with or without my teammates for the event. I did about 4 miles last night, tonight should be better. I donated blood yesterday, so that slowed me up a bit.

My friends had their ports/shunts installed, with one lady having her lymph nodes removed. She went to the doctor knowing she was getting the port/shunt but not expecting the lymph nodes removal. This guy seems kind of surgery happy and I have tried to convince her to go for another opinion. It is easy for me to say, she must be overwhelmed with the news and not want to make further decisions. Soon she will start chemo/radiation and then have one breast removed. The other friend had a lumpectomy and the port/shunt installed. Scary stuff this is.......
