My cancer update

Phone rang.
It was my urologist. He received results from my previous tests. Remember, I was having constant pains. Well, guess what. I am going to need additional surgeries. My left kidney is not functioning at all. Not too long ago, doctors inserted a stent in my ureter to help drain the kidney but it did not work. Now, doctors need to insert a tube into my kidney to drain it. This means I will need to carry a "bag" to collect urine that will be drained from the kidney itself. All I am going to say is this: " This better be temporary". Once again, I will need prayers from you (especially from those who are close to "you know who").

Although the exact date has not been set, I am sure it will be any day now. At least I know why I had so much pain. God is really testing me this time. As always, I will take it like a man.

The market is showing obvious weakness. This is not the time for aggressively buying high beta stocks. We need some more weakness to confirm the down trend. The market could actually jump up from here too. But even if it does, it won't last. We need to rest before going again.
