THE HEART OF THE MATTER

Last night I went and visited with my good friend who is visiting Houston while getting her treatments at M.D. Anderson for her different cancers. As I have mentioned I do NOT like her boyfriend for many reasons but the top reason was his infecting her with HIV because he never told her and after being together two years she found out she has it. Obviously she is already weak enough with NO immune system and this disease can definitely kill her. So far it looks as though its not doing any harm.

Anyhow last night I showed up at their hotel and ignored him as classy as I could. I addressed him at some points but with no eye contact only because he kept talking to me any moment he could and of course I said farewell when I was leaving.

It was good to catch up with my friend since she has moved back to Dallas. We have known each other since I was 18 or 19 when we met (I'm now 28). We've been through a lot and we have been a rock for each other plus I don't have the kind of fun with anyone else that I have had with this friend. Just thinking about her not being around really hurts because facing it she is one of the few people that knows a lot about me and I still have around me. (Most of my friends over the years have moved away or have just lost contact with because well people change)

Anyhow she has a surgery today and God love her. We shall see what comes of today. They are suppose to see what part of her spinal cord is being tightened by her backbone and so they can go back later and scrape that bone with a possibility of becoming paralyzed. This was caused from radiation treatments she received when she was younger due to having Hodgkins and the tightness in the spinal cord causes this continual pain in her neck/arms. She is tired of the pain obviously and so is going through all these surgeries.
