Well, it’s been a rough six months! But, at long last, I have a proper diagnosis for what’s been ailing me. It turns out that the menace who has been silently and slyly attacking my liver is no less than my own body, my immune system, to be exact.

My husband and I will be in Toronto for the next two weeks to see our youngest son and his family and to celebrate our granddaughter’s birthday.
On Thursday, June 25/09, I’ll be a guest blogger on freshfiction.com. Join me if you can.
I heard last week from a close friend that she has cancer and it seems to have spread to more than one site. I am devastated. She is super-conscious of health issues – careful of her diet, exercises regularly — yoga, Reiki, meditation . . . and now this!
