Hi Barbara,

First let me say I am glad you won't get more chemo but am sad about the sore on your back. I hope it heals soon so you can receive more chemo if necessary. Back to the story. I am now worried about Troy since I read his wife left him because of his diagnosis. Oh dear, I wonder what is wrong...did you already tell us that and has my pea brain forgotten? I am sure Anna is in for another beating from Bobby, what a horrible man. I think Troy is smitten and I hope something comes of that. Well written, as usual, which is your norm! Be well, my friend. Blessings, chey

Okay, I have a new hero and his name is Troy. I'm so relieved that Anna has chosen to allow him to help her and little Bobby. She's been offered a way to leave her situation, and I'm hoping she takes it. You've left us wondering what that awful man is going to do to her.

I agree, the only way to get the back better is surgery and they can't do surgery until the chemo drugs get out of my system. Thank you for the kind review and support.

I really like Troy, from his compassion and his generosity to his inner thoughts reminding him his place is to be a perfect gentleman even if Anna has nice thighs :-)
Yea, sure. Just get this young man's medicine. - Yeah
How awful that a mother should have to worry about the consequences she will pay for doing right by her ailing son. That last paragraph is ominous. I can see she'll be having reason to call on Troy again soon.
I do hope they heal that sore on your spine soon, my friend. Sending you lots of love and prayers. Brooke

According to the doctor, the only way it will heal is surgery and they can't do surgery until all the chemo drugs get out of my system. That will take awhile. I haven't had chemo for two weeks and they did a blood test on Thursday. My hemoglobin is still dropping, it's at an all time low. It should have gone up. So now they are worried there's something else going on with me. Another waiting game. I guess I should never pray for patiences. Thank you for your kind review and support.

I am sure that is seems impossible to be patient, my friend. In some circumstances, that is a bit much to expect.

I am doing my best, somedays I do better than other days.

reply by adewpearl on 27-Mar-2011

And on the days when you don't do quite as well, that's allowed! :-)

reply by the author on 27-Mar-2011

I try to hide it so nobody knows it, especially my guys. They never know what to do and it just upsets them.

This plot is getting more interesting. I really pity the poor woman and wonder what will happen when the stupid man realizesthat someone is easing her pain. kudos

I'm enjoying the story. Looks like Troy and Michael are headed for a confrontation. I look forward to finding out.

The story read good and smooth. I like the smaller italic font for thoughts. Good effect. Keep Writing & Reading.

What a life this poor woman
has to live, with a man, if
you can call him that, who
doesn't even care about his
child being sick. And spending
money needed to help the child,
on beer!!

He has an inflection
..........infection

He put his finger over her lips - might I suggest rather than a finger...
he placed his finger-tip on her lips..

I must have been correcting infection while you were reading. I like your other suggestion. I will get right on it. Thank you.
