    Delivered in Woodburn, OR, picked up in Tacoma, WA, took that to La Grande, OR and I picked up in Ontario, OR for two stops in Indiana and Michigan. Good times.

    Nope. This episode was recorded in 2013, before the legal merger. This was Gordon.

    Everything is begining to look up finally.....

    I have made it a point not to discuss this issue on this forum but have with a couple privately.

    Shortly before leaving gordon i had a medical issue come up and after a couple months of testing from my primary doctor i was told that he believed i had cancer and refered me to a specialist for a biopsy and treatment. This was prior to christmas and i have been living with this over my head for several months now.

    Last friday i finally got into see the doctor i was refered to in nashville. I brought him all my records and 2 previous ultrasounds for him to look at as well.

    After he reviewed everything he told me that he could not understand how my primary doctor ever came up with such a diagnosis. I had been suffering with a lot of pain in my groin ever since i had an upper respitory infection last fall that was accompanied by a horrible cough.

    The specialist i was seeing said my ultrasounds showed no indication of cancer , which the other doctor said it did, and my pain was caused by a severe strain from the coughing. He said this type of strain takes several months to recover from but will eventually go away. He also recommended i get a better primary doctor.

    So, it is good now to be back to work without worrying what was going to happen to my family if i had to have surgery and treatments and not be able to return to work.

    We gripe and complain about what we do so often but when faced with the possibility of not being able to do my job any longer it only renews my appreciation for it.

    Enjoy the time we have because we dont have any guarantees of tomorrow.

    I'm sorry, but right here ^^^^^ I was waiting to hear that you were pregnant!:biggrin_2552:


    Seriously....I can imagine the myriad of thoughts you've been enduring through this time, what with the job change added in for good measure. I'm glad it's nothing more serious than this....stay well.....and quit coughing!
