Thank you everyone! All of your kind words make this stuff easier to deal with.

I am alive today

Just a bit weak from this nasty GI thing I picked up along the way. I had to drag myself out for the biopsy, but I had HAD to get it over with. I don't like the unknown...best to know what's up so I can deal.
Thank you Michele, for checking up on me yesterday and for posting this update.
