Blessed

As much fun as it would be to wallow in self pity I am forced to remind myself that I am Blessed. First of all I am married to Donna. She is much more than I deserve. This ordeal that Donna is going through could be so much worse! I have no money issues at all. The Miitary insurance is taking care of all our expenses so that is an issue the "other people" have that I do not. The Coast Guard community from Anchorage down to Juneau. We live in a remote area and the nearest effective cancer traetment is in Anchorage. As you can imagine housing during the tourist season is difficult to came by. My Parent command with help from the YMCA got us a house to live in during our tratments! It is really nice and comfortable. My close military family has been standing in line to give Donna a hand. I was unable to go with Donna for one of her follow up appointments. We foolishly decided that Donna could go with my son and that she would be up to driving. Donna was in pain and she could not drive. A Senior Cheif Petty Officer ment her at the airport and drove her to two medical appointments. I can't tell you how greatful I am. So when I let my brooding lapse I se that I am truely Blessed.
