Milestones

I made it to the big 30.  For most people this is no big deal but for me it is.  2 years ago I wasn't so sure I was gonna make it here.  Only by the grace of God, the surgeons, my team of doctors, and several friends who came out the woodwork, did I make it here.

     I cannot express my gratitude enough.  Dr. Lang did a beautiful job.  I got an xray of my skull yesterday, it is so cool looking.  I have these little round fasteners thingys on the place where they cut my skull for the operation.  4 of them, they look like little flowers.  Round with pins.  I could see clearly where he cut my skull and when I rub my head I can only feel the crack in one place.  When I cracked myself in the head with my car door 3 months ago it formed a lump.  I asked my doctor to feel the lump and she sent me for an xray.  From what I could see as she explained it to me, the door hit squarely on the crack in my skull which in turn healed but left a calcification on top of my head.  Great, I thought just what I need... another bump on my head.  HAHA

    My father sent me a card that said "What a millstone (Pun intended)"  I am sad to say I didn't get the joke.  I had to ask Fran.  Now I know that millstone means a significant mark in time, a round number.  I understand what it mean but cannot explain to anyone else accurately.  That is what radiation does.

   Anyway, I am going to lunch now (a salad) because Texas de Brazil tnt.
