The “C” Word – Day 50 Numbers game

Totally random thoughts, no point to this exercise, just doing it because.

Fifty-seven and sixty-one – ages.  Just numbers, really.  Chronological – not physical.  Sometimes my knee may lock and George may get a hitch in his get-a-long but we are still young at heart.

Thirty-two – I think that is the head count for people at the block party last night.  What a good time with special neighbors.  All of them are so supportive.  We are so lucky to be in such a good area.

Twelve – the number of years we have been married (close enough… it’s only 12 or 13 days until the actual date).

Five – the number of couples that will be here this afternoon.  That’s five work buddies with their five spouses (we are included in that five).  A good number, five.  I am one of five children.  My mom was one of five children (and you note that I did not continue that cycle!!)

Four plus two plus two – the number of kids, son-in-laws and grandkids we have to date.  Unofficially we actually have a couple of more to be included in that number.

On our mind this past month have been the following numbers…

1,000,000 – or to put it another way, one in a million – the odds of getting Pseudomyxoma Peritonei or carcinomatosis. 

Fifty – the number of days it has been since initial diagnosis

Twenty – the number (or approximation) of doctors with enough experience to deal with this cancer

Fifteen – the number of boxes of Impact Recovery nutritional supplement that George has had to drink this week!

Two – the number of days until surgery

Three – the number of days until this will all be behind us!!

15 - - The number of years we have until our 25^th anniversary, one we WILL celebrate (there will be others in between, but 25 is a good number!)
