Life isn't much fun for Jane at the moment, well, less so even than usual. After a whole battery of tests over the Christmas and New Year break, the docs have diagnosed avascular necrosis. If I have it right this means, in layman's terms, that the bones are dying in places. In Jane's case, it is affecting the ball part of the ball and socket joint of her hips. The consequence is that she cannot really get free of pain at all. She is really struggling to move about and can't get proper rest even in bed. Jane thinks it may be one of the side effects of chemo.Meanwhile she is still on chemo. She has been referred to the orthopaedic department but hasn't yet got an appointment. We are due back with the oncologist on 25th January and I hope to have some more positive news by then.
I took this picture out at Little Durnford in the Woodford Valley when I was walking on Sunday.
God Bless

Hi guys,
Remember us? Réal and Colleen Munger from accross the street in Petawawa. Jane I would be disapointed if you forgot my crêpes. We have been looking to get in touch with you for quite a while, but finally got your blog from Art and Mona Carveth. From reading your diary we can see that Jane is going through some hard times. No wonder we kept thinking and talking about you guys lately.Colleen and I both had to deal with the big mean "C". I went through eosophagial cancer and had surgery in 1996 and touch wood I am still kicking strong. Colleen had to deal with colon cancer and colostomy. She had chemo and radiation 5 years ago. She is fine too.
Richard is in the military and is presently serving in Afghanistan we will be happy to see him back home in May. We also just returned from Punta Cana Dominican Republic where Wendy got married. Tim and Stephen are also married; as a matter of fact we have 6 grandchildren. Time passes so quickly. We are both fully retired and enjoying it immensly.
Feel free to e-mail pictures ect. We will send pictures if you want. Hope to get back in touch.
Best wishes and may God Bless,Réal and Colleen Munger
Reguards from Canada,

We will keep checking the blog and try to give any support we can.
Love always, Réal and Colleen Munger, Rockland , Ontario , Canada.(Just east of Ottawa)
