My mother went/is going through this. Small spots they found a few years ago that haven’t changed over the years of monitoring, most likely benign.
Hopefully your situation is similar and you are able to enjoy many more years of enjoyable health 🫶🏼

lol that’s just the ‘tip-of-the-iceberg’ here brother! I have entirely too much wrong and going out in my body! Doc gave me that ‘any time now’ talk two years ago! Then again earlier this year. The only reason I’m not in a hospice center is I have my family to care for me…
The spots were just a parting ‘cherry on top’ of everything else!

That is a thing that is, unfortunately, dying out in this country. And it’s the glue that held us together.
I’ve said it before brother. You did right by those boys and it’s paying off. Good solid character is the gift you gave them.

Yep, that’s the way my family has always done. We cared for our elders when they get to where they couldn’t… none of that ‘rest home’ or ‘hospice care’ crap

Dad is 95, broke his hip last year, mom 92…legally blind.
My brother & I have kept them in their home of 60 years and act as taxi service when needed, we are now the ‘adults in the room’.
I feel privileged to still have them around and try to remember that when patience is running thin. Quality parents are a blessing.
Pic is the 39 Packard convertible my brother and I retrieved from Tulsa about 15 years ago, looks showroom fresh today…a trailer queen,

I remember my dad having a 54 Chevy. I remember the windshield wipers working by the vacuum on the carburetor. The faster you drove, the slower the wipers went, as I remember.
Remember dimmer switches under the left foot on the floor?? What about the old Plymouth. I had a Valiant that had the transmission shift with buttons on the dash.
Also had an old Rambler that was such a piece of shit, someone actually stole it and I never reported it missing. It was like good riddance.

Good news, son checked out that Silverado, and went ahead and picked it up for us. It need some engine work, brakes, tires, and a windshield… not bad… other than that, it’s good he says. Bringing it here now. So now there is one thing less on the checklist. lol
