Personally I like Brett.
Pretty shitty weekend, all told.
First I found out that I can't postpone my chemo till after I come back from the US.
Simply too risky. Any lil' infection may lay me low right now and a big one will be the end of me.
So we cancelled the trip for now and resceduled for 2020. I won't be visiting Burnham, Jim and Jerry and Terri next year...........................I had so been looking forwards to that, frig!
Now we have a ton of airline tickets, car and motorcycle rentals and motel, cabin and Redwood River Resort reservations to talk our way out of.
I talked to the airline saturday, and they are being reasonable about it, hopefully the rest are, too.
Next I get the news that the liver cancer that my best friend has is going to kill him, eventually.
He will get chemo and that will postpone the inevitable for a while, but the end is in sight...............frig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We met each other when we were 13 and have been best friends since.
Very parrallel lives, both of us have travelled extensively in our youth and eventually ended up 10 miles from where we started.
Both of us are married to foreign women.
Now we can sit and hold hands and puke in the same bucket when we enter chemo together.
Life is weird sometimes.
Then, to put the icing on the cake, our 30 year old horse died last night.
Got colicky and before we realized, he had rolled and turned his bowels.
Fortunately the vet was only 15 minutes away, because that sure went pear shaped FAST.
If the vet hadn't made it in time, I would have had to shoot him because he was suffering real bad, and while that doesn't bother me over much, I sure didn't want my wife to have that picture stuck in her mind.
Me killing her good equine friend,. She has had him for 22 years.
He was by far the best dressage horse, I've ever ridden.
He could do dressage at the highest level, WAY beyond my skill set.
As a matter of fact, every time I rode him, I had the feeling, he was laughing at me.
I don't know where we'll go from here.
Buy a new horse or sell our mare and wait till the leukemia shit hopefully blows over and buy 2 new ones.
Crappy weekend for sure.
BTW, it is nice to have a place to share shit like that.
Doesn't make it go away, but being able to put it out in the open, talk about it, sure helps.
