Normally I retreat from public displays of my state of health, my past or my feelings, I prefer beautiful pictures, humour and some attempts at communicating things that mean something to me, compassion, poetry, art and my love for the world I live in. Anyway I am departing from that for the convenience of reaching as many of my friends as possible please do not feel obliged to comment if you prefer not to . I have had a backache for the last 3 months and finally had a diagnosis that was the last thing I was expecting, I have a cancerous tumour on my spine. I dont know the exact type but it appears that it is a lymphatic cancer and the least worse that it could have been. I am flat on my back because it grew around 3 of my vertebrae and began compressing my spinal cord last weekend and I lost all sensation from the chest down and couldnt walk. That has improved with anti inflammatories but not able to walk yet. So, a shock as I am used to good health and very frightening , especially frightened for my children. I am also overwhelmed by the expressions of love and concern that have come to me from those of my friends who do know, I have never had anything like that in my life before having lived a more isolated existence until recent years. It has humbled me and reassures me that the world is in safer hands than the media would suggest, love is unlimited and can only grow. I apologise to my friends that deserve a more personal message but I am still reeling from being told myself and in truth cannot face anymore of that intensity, Im sorry. So there we are, my personal life is now public property but I shall spare you any selfies - that is unless I take any really good bad taste ones which is a possibility. Ive been told Ive got no boundaries by my daughter so anything may happen. That is my short story for today , much love and peace to all xxxxx
