Locking up the guns.....

Well, it is time to lock up all the guns, I won't be carrying for a while.
Was diagnosed with cancer a month ago after a mass in my left side was removed, it was dioagnosed and my treatments have already started.
All the side effects they said might not hit me for a few weeks have already surfaced, they feel my weakened condition from the surgery might be the reason.
Being too tired to think straight means no concealed carry until my brain gets back into the game and I can think clearly again.
I'll keep on keeping on and checking the board, it sure helps to pass a lot of time !
Y'all be careful out there.

Thanks everyone, your prayers and positive thoughts mean a lot to both Stacy and myself.
We feel that a lot of prayers have already been answered, especially when the Oncologist walked into the room and said that after all the tests, they determined that the Hodgkins Lymphoma is at 'stage one' and confined to the lower left abdomen area. The best news of all was when he said they will treat this with radiation instead of chemo. That was a huge blessing and the answer to a lot of prayers. The odd thing is that this type of cancer is rare for someone my age. I'm 57 and they said this type usually happens to people under the age of 40.
I live in Knox City, 75 miles north of Abilene. We will be making the 150 mile round trip five days a week for five weeks. Today is the last treatment for this week, only four more weeks to go !
I was told early on about the possible side effects, like being extremely tired, headaches, nausea and diarrhea, but they usually don't show up until the end of the second week or the start of the third week. Now they feel that the reason they have hit me so early is my still weakened condition after the recent surgery to remove the mass from my left side.
No fun for sure, but it sure beats the alternative !
