Good news & Better news

[Comfortably_Numb]

The good news: Today my husband and I celebrate 32 years of wedded bliss. Reminds me of our wedding song, which I hope Royce also likes, but I doubt it. It’s by The Foundations and it’s called “This Magic Moment.” My favorite line is “Everything I want I have whenever I hold you tight.”

The better news: In 1988 I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Myelofibrosis and given 3 to 5 years to live. Went for a second, a third, and a fourth opinion, each but the last one accompanied by a spinal tap. The fourth doctor looked at a slide of my blood under a microscope and said, “You don’t have myelofibrosis, you’re iron deficient anemic. Go home. Be happy.”

So I did.

Congratulations! That is by no means a small achievement in today's society! You should be so very proud of you and your husband. In early July, my husband and I will celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary, so where we are right behind you! Congratulations again! Fancy1959.

Thanks, Fancy. You and this Community would have been a third “Good News” if I had had the room. Thanks to all of you!

Actually do not know the song, but I totally agree with the sentiment. Pretty much I feel this way when I hold she who must be obeyed, but honestly never is. A woman I met AFYER my diagnoses.

Okay, if we're talking numbers, we just celebrated our 37th anniversary. Not bad for two high school sweethearts who started dating when I was 15 and he was 16...... Of all of our friends from the olden days, we are the ONLY ones still together!
