I am feeling very well today. I made myself go to jewelry class yesterday, and I really enjoyed learning stuff and seeing old friends from class. I think I can go on with my life as long as the BCG treatments keep the cancer away. Those start in 2 weeks. Once the first one is over and I know I can stand it, I'll be okay. Especially if I know they are doing some good.

Penny, a teacher I knew from McMain was recently diagnosed with dementia, and she's only a few years older than I. It's so sad. She was a smart, great social studies teacher who now will be in an assisted living home after she's out of the hospital. She has family who will care for her. I wonder which is worst, my bladder cancer or her dementia. Would I trade, NO. It helped me put my situation in perspective. Laverne's condition also makes me realize that I can handle whatever happens with my health.  She is so courageous and continues to help others, like me, whenever she can. My hero.

I'm  going to work on jewelry today. The teacher said I should start selling on Etsy because I am doing so well. Small world on the Westbank. She knows Hiser and Connie Serrette. Interesting. Carolyn Badon is a good woman.
