Did I only get 18 hours of change?<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I hope that&#8217;s not the case. Actually, I&#8217;m fairly sure that&#8217;s not the case because I found out yesterday (between those two thunder storms) that the friend of mine that was hospitalized last week has a tumor in her lymph nodes (sp?) and that they&#8217;re going to start an immediate and aggressive chemo\/radiation\/surgery program. Ugh. It seems like everybody I come into contact with lately is getting sick (3 cancers, 1 depression, numerous viral infections and 1 life-threatening yet undiagnosable disease). <\/P><br \/>\n<P>On the plus side, one of the breast cancer survivors is joining me and Matt tonight to go see &#8220;Oklahoma&#8221; at the Colonial Theatre.
