Sombre personal news
Last Friday, my eldest brother was diagnosed as having a tumor on his spine. he was faced with the decision to do nothing and become a paraplegic very soon, or have surgery and risk further spinal damage. Today, he went into surgery.
Despite incredible pain now, the surgery ‘was successful’, the tumor was benign. He will walk again, but not for a while. Throughout the whole period, he’s retained his courage and sense of humor. I’m proud to belong to such stock.
Some readers may think this news possibly does not belong here in this blog;it probably doesn’t interest many readers. Nevertheless, it’s here now. Get well soon, Des.
