another true story from the squarehead! About my honeymoon.......NOT x-rated!!! hahaha!

August 10, 2005

Greetings to you all....while, I am now " worked up " about this sarcoma stuff, I

realize , looking at all the return posts to me, how many great friends I have

out there, and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart!

to the story****( I remembered this, upon reading, just now, about someone

elses honeymoon)

I really wanted to be " impressive " , so, I had made arraingements in

Gatlinburg to rent a suite for our honeymoon. This place was classy, THE

definition of " Eclectic " . This suite had a fireplace , gas logs in every room, a

three level swimming pool in the lobby.....the kind of place where, when you

order room service, the food is delivered on a wheeled table, with all the

dishes covered by one of those metal domes with the small hole on top.

Well. The next morning, upon arising, I asked my new wife, Tammy, to order

room service, while I took a shower. By the time I got out of the shower, room

service had already arrived, and there was my Lady, enjoying a big breakfast of

eggs, pancakes, bacon, juice, the whole works!As I sat down, I put my finger in

that hole at the top of the dome, lifted up......only to discover a couple of

carrots, some lettuce, and a cucumber! I looked at Tammy and said " What's THIS

all about? "

You know what she SAID to me? really! ..............she looked up at me,

and all she said was......... " Well, I wanted to know if you ATE like one,

too! " hahahahaha! have a great evening, my sweet family, and thank you ALL

for your support in these very trying times for me! I love you! ken.

Dear Ken,

I'm almost certain it is Karposi's Sarcoma you have. It can be

caused by aids, transfusions and it can just " occur " in some people

of Eastern European descent. At least that's what we were told when

the round bumps appeared on my dad's feet. His folks were from

Lithuania.

His foot doc sent the slides to Mayo to confirm the diagnosis and

then decided nothing needed to be done. Dad died at 82 from

emphesemia and he had had the sarcoma for over 5 years. It had

nothing to do with his passing.

I know it is common & serious in aids patients but our systems and

disease are quite different. Try not to think the worst & let's

wait

to see while the VA docs decide what should or shouldn't be done.

Hugs & Prayers,

Lori from IL
