Life.............

It'll kick you in the a$$ even when you're down. >:( Well, I've refrained from telling all but a select few. But this morning I kind of reached my breaking point and you guys are like family, so here goes.
I was recently diagnosed with Stage I Adult Hodgekins Lymphoma. Depressing as that sounds, Stage I is in it's most curable state. So, the doctors prognosis for successful treatment is good. I've already begun chemotherapy (which really sucks. A LOT!). I actually went through this before and was given a clean bill of health about 10 years ago or so. Recently, I discovered some skin leesions and had not been feeling all that great. I had the skin cancer taken care of, then given my past medical history, my doctor did a new full workup of tests which has lead me to this point.
This on top of my wife having some major medical issues earlier this year as well have really drained me. She had to have a kidney removed because of a tumor. The doctors felt that the best course of action, instead of wondering if the complete tumor had been removed or not, would be to extract the whole kidney.
There have been many more personal events this year that have lead me to this breaking point. And.........I haven't even gotten to the real point of my rant here.
So. Here is my real reason for being pissed off today. I'm scheduled to be at the hospital for 10 AM for another round of chemo. I decided to throw some fishing equipment in the truck and head out early to hit a few spots for some surfcasting near by. Still some Stripers around, although they seem to be exiting fast. I stop to run into the local Dunkin Donuts for a coffee. I'm not in there two minutes. I come out to find my rods stolen out of the back of my truck >:( WTF is wrong with people? I reported it to the local PD but don't hold much hope in ever retrieving any of it. In two minutes time, I lost probably $400-$500 worth of gear that some crackhead will sell for a couple of dime bags. I'll keep an eye out on craigslist and a few other sources. But this really blows!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening guys. :-[
