Bad News

I know that I have been quiet.....Thing have been very hectic. Work is a bear!!!! The kids are in so much now. It is "Walk around the woods and pretend to be deer hunting" season. So, Ron is not around much. Now this!

Last week my Dad went to have prostrate surgery. He was having "troubles" and things seemed to be blocked. So off he goes to have the surgery.

The test came back....my Dad has Cancer!!! The Dr. "thinks" it was caught early enough, but he had the tumor sent down to John Hopkins in Baltimore to see what stage it is in. We sort of thought that this might happen because my Grandfather had prostrate cancer, then it just spread every where. But all of us were hoping that his prostate was just blocked with something else and that is why he had to "Go" all the time.

No matter what, my Dad is having his prostrate removed. But depending on what stage it is in we don't know if he has to have chemo/radiation/ or what else. They can't even remove the prostrate until he has healed from the surgery he just had. My dad feels fine. He would not have known he was sick unless he had the surgery.

I have not told the kids yet. I just don't know what to say. I don't know what to think!! So, how in the world do I tell my kids!!

My Dad will not know anything until 11/28, unless the Doctor call him. We are going to Schenectady for Thanksgiving this year. All I can think of is how is he going through this. And the same for Ma and T? Then I think about my Kids. I just don't know what to think. I just don't know what to do. I just have to go through it one day at a time. But right now it is so, so hard!!

Tomorrow is the Jingle Bell Run 5K. Both Boys are doing the Candy Cane run and are looking forward. Of course, Ma and Dad can't be there so I'm going to take alot of pictures for them. I will try to post some if I can.

The Core with WW

This might kill me!!

Ok not really kill me but it is alot harder that I thought it was going to be. I though it was going to be easy. I'm having a time trying not to eat the same things. It has been hard because I really did not food shop for things that I should have had in the house. It feels like I have been eating the same things over and over again. Sugar Free Jello has become my friend!!!

Also I have not been running this week. I walked a bit on Monday, but that is all. Tuesday after WW was just a little to late to run. On Wednesday and Thursday, I was hacking up a lung that there was no way I could do any exercise. I was supposed to take cycle class with S, K, and Trac. But right after work (no I did not stay late), I went home and got into my PJ's and read stories to the kids!!!

I finally feel better today. When the Kids are at swimming, I will run at the Y!! I promise. Then the Kids and I will walk the Candy Cane run (approx 1 mile) so they can get a feel of the run.

Then I promise them they could go out to lunch. I just have to have the will power. I just have to tell myself....Sue, it will be easier to run if you don't have the weight!!! My new mantra.

But will all the new veggies, I have been tooting alot more. Thank god, I don't do it at work. I think that I'm going to get some BEANO, just in case!!!

Remember Everyone, the Jingle Bell Race is Next Week!!!! I hope to see everyone there.....Trac & Bridget!!!
