Thanks Dave, Dad had a CT scan last week and it showed a 5.3 cm mass in one lung and a few nodules in the other. Some of substantial size. He said not to worry but back only a few years ago when he had a heart attack and stint installed , those weren't on any xray. He goes back to another dr in the city for a scope and biopsy ,should have the results the same day. Dad is 78 ,mom is 76 . She has 2 artificial hips and can barely walk some days, we can't let her try to handle all this by herself and us living 12 hours away . Our new location would be 12 minutes.
Our plans of moving down there to be by them was supposed to be after I retire which is another 5 yrs from this August. I don't have to tell you , this can't wait. I'm quite excited but quite a bit scared. Work here has been spotty to slow to near nothing. Over the last 5 months I've worked 2 weeks and it wasn't even in my home (union) local area. Got outage work coming up again here in about 2 weeks that is in my local area , should last a month or better but theres nothing coming up again until at least September. If I have to ,I'll come up to work and stay with friends or wifes family for the duration. I've put in to some construction companies down there, one was looking for a commercial carpenter, which I have done. Hoping this is the direction I need to be going,but, Family first.
