Just about 12 years ago Barbara developed a lump on her left shin. I kept telling her to go to a doctor but in typical Barbara fashion she said stop worrying. In a few weeks I finally convinced her to see an Orthopedist. His comments where that she needed to see a specialist so we did. The specialist told us that she needed an operation immediately. I was sick inside but stayed positive if I didn’t I would have gotten the look from her. A few days later she had the lump removed, it was so big that they had to put a plate in her leg. Al and his partner Jim where with me in the hospital. When the doctor came down he said the operation was a success but she had cancer. I never expected to hear those words it was like a knife going through my heart. After the doctor left the three of us spoke and agreed not to say anything to her now so she could concentrate on taking care of herself from the operation.
