By now you may have heard that our mom and your amiga, Susanne Schumann, went in to Portland’s Good Samaritan for shortness of breath tests a couple three weeks ago. When she barely made it to the the front desk she turned right and went to the Er, they admit her right way and find: Pulminary embolisms. Why? Tumors in the liver and a big old thing in the Pancreas. Pancreatic cancer. Motherfucker.

This explains a change in mom’s increasing discomfort over the last couple of years. The recent breathless sluggishness of our normally rampaging heffer, probably from the lung-clots, and less of an appetite, which really should have been the burning gun. If you know Susi, you know that she, once a war child, not only licks the plate but sometimes eats it.

This is the update I’m sorry to give you. Mom is a winner more than a whiner. She’s all about living. When the time comes, so be it. FOR NOW, LIVE IN THE MOMENT, SEND YOUR WISHES AND LOVE, STAY IN TOUCH!
