Paris Cowgirl

It seems...

that 2009 will be a long and winding road at Casa Johnson. DAM will be coming home on Friday. They managed (well The Peddler demanded) that she allow them to take a chest x-ray. As we could have guessed, it came back with spots on her smoke filled lungs. I met with the Dr. yesterday and he told her that he wanted to do a Cat Scan to determine what the spots are. Of course she told him no. We really can't blame her. She weighs 85 pounds and probably wouldn't survive chemo anyway. The Dr. took me outside and told me to tell her she couldn't come back to our house unless she does the Cat Scan. Talk about putting me in the middle. I told him my hands were tied. There was nothing I could do. So she has signed herself out against medical advice and is returning home. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. We've been down this road twice already. The Peddler's mother and my father. Pretty unfair, but like the saying goes "who said life is fair?"
