Sisters

I have the two best sisters in the whole world.

A week after Christmas, they, Annette and Susan, went for a mammogram.
Results:
Annette had to have surgery last week to remove a mass. Today we learned it was not cancerous, yea! But a year ago she had breast surgery which was cancer and had the radiation treatments, too.
Susan's having surgery this week. Her's is cancer. But they feel it's been caught early enough to be totally treatable.

I have two great sisters and I want to have them around for a long time!

Body Worlds

Bernell and I went to the Body Worlds exhibit this week and found it to be very interesting and worthwhile. Real human bodies were used and displayed in positions such as dancing, sports, etc. The muscles, fat, tendons, bones, nerves, heart, arteries, veins, lungs, intestines, and other inner parts were exposed. Gave a very good perspective of how we're put together and how some diseases affect our bodies.

My problem, after the exhibit tour, was going to Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch and trying to eat a chicken leg. I looked at the meat (muscle), bone, tendons, fat and it did me in. Couldn't quite finish it. Should have chosen a pizza place.
