No, since they removed the kidney (as well as the tube and a small part of my bladder) on Oct. 3, my system has gotten back to normal. The docs are amazed I am bouncing back so quickly and they assure me that they got it all, which was low-grade cancer. I will have a PET scan on Monday to make sure, but they feel I am completely cured. Don't worry, I know I will be fine.

I know.. I just fail to see why a removed kidney would cause one to use the wash more frequently when the bladder is pretty much the same size.

I'm glad to hear it's all good now... Out of all the organs to have removed, the kidney is probably the best because a person can function with only one kidney. I think situations such as that enable us to appreciate life that much more.

Yep!

My confession:

I love cemeteries. I find them to be incredibly beautiful and peaceful. When I have time (which isn't as often as I'd like) I go and photograph headstones and post them on a forum to help others in their ancestral journey.

Each family has a history, and each headstone has a fascinating story behind it...

When we were in Eastern Missouri, there was an old cemetery just up the road from us. The kids and I would go and get rubbing of the tombstones and such. We also would clean up all the trash and rake the leaves and would mow it when needed. The old caretaker had died and there was no one else to do it, so for 2 years, we kept it up. We made sure to have dedicated replacements when we left. The last burial for this cemetery was in 1867, the first in 1742.

My friend works for a family owned cemetery doing electronic data entry of files dating b back 150 years ago. She said many of the stories are fascinating. It sounds like a cool job to have.

We tied at 4.

Aren't they similar to the candy you were describing? They looked the same.

Huh. Well, not being a fan of pecans - I couldn't tell you.

I think they are the same, just finished differently.

Turtle is basically Pecans, caramel and chocolate. Crumbled up bits of Pecan and drizzles of caramel and chocolate on the top of a cheesecake makes a turtle cheesecake.

How fun for you guys! That's great that you helped keep it up for a while. Many historic cemeteries like that aren't maintained which is a shame. It's almost disrespectful to those who are buried there.

There is one cemetery near me that I believe began interring people in the late 18th century. That part of the cemetery you see many infants and children who passed.

We are fortunate to live in this day in age where we have access to top notch medical care which saves lives which would have otherwise passed.

CSign

That does sound like a cool job! Has the cemetery stayed in the one family during that time?

Information on individuals buried in a cemetery is very helpful for those who work on genealogy. Often times families will be buried together, so you'll find the date of death that eluded you for so long, or find out about another sibling or relative you weren't aware of.

In my journeys, I've decided I'm going with a dark marble headstone, and if I can afford it- a beautiful statue :-)

White marble doesn't hold up over time- dark marble does and it makes it easier to read the
inscription.
