My daughter Vanessa is the world to me. She is my reason for living and the shining light of my life. I have a lot of things to be thankful for. I survived cancer and many scary surgeries and I am a better person for it. I always try to keep a good attitude about life because I know how fast things can change and how bad they can be. Besides spending time with my family I have a lot of hobbies and try to keep busy. I enjoy crafts and making things. Movies are also one of my favorite past times..I like just about any kind of movie. I'm single now and I have to admit it has been nice and peaceful, not worrying about someone elses drama has been nice. I am willing to meet new people, it would be nice if the right person came along, but making new friends is always fun. I am a very easy going and trusting person, but it doesnt mean I'm guilable. Most of you know about my vocal cord problems, but if you don't here is a quick update. My vocal cords were paralized from cancer 11yrs ago and until then I had NO idea how important your vocal cords really are, they do much more than give you your voice, they hold up your airway so you can breathe. Mine were paralized in a place that has made it hard for me to breathe for a long time. This summer they got worse for no reason and was told by numerous doctors the only choice left was a permant trachotomy (a really bad thing). I searched everywhere for a doctor, I went to Nashville, Chicago and was about to go to Budapest in Hungery until I rememember one of my old doctors at Henry Ford. I finally found a doc with enough guts to do the surgery on my cords without giving me a trach. He is a great doc and is in my prayers always. My vocal cords are still healing and have alot of swelling, my voice has gotten even more quiet, its just a whisper but might improve over time. I would rather have a good airway without a trach and bad voice than a good voice with a trach. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it meant alot!
