My brother is done with treatment. The Chemo was followed by some Radiation. He tolerated it well. Now we just watch and wait. He is a strong man and a great guy. I am still a bit worried, but we will see. As for my health, my gastric bypass surgery was August 16th and I have lost over 50 pounds. I had my navel pierced as a celebration! Witch camp was a great place. I learned some things about myself. I was able to open some long closed chakras and now I am continuing on this path. One of my teachers from camp, T. Thorn Coyle, is coming to Seattle in November to teach a weekend class, which I am planning to attend. Samhain is around the corner, and my little coven is planning a private rit and we will be attending a few parties, public rits and am invited to participate in another coven's private rit. I have been having some car problems, but I have managed not to miss a day of work (yet) and my daughter has made it to school too. She is doing okay. We think maybe she is bipolar now, so we will be addressing that with some new meds maybe, We will see the shrink next week. She is trying to do better and she is...it is still hard sometimes for her to stay focused. For the most part, she has stayed away from drugs, although for awhile, she was drinking alot. I wish she would stabilize! We are not giving up. We have a good relationship, so that helps. My son is doing great! He is still in college getting prepared for a nursing program. He has a partner named Shawn. He is a sweet guy and they both seem quite content. I am happy for them. So...tell me what you all have been up to!
