My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Path
~~~~~
Our planned path for 2016 was to take us on a trip
to Europe with and few nights in Dubai on the way home.
Home in time to see our younger son married in November.
However, broken glasses in January and visits
to numerous ophthalmologists and being told I had
an ‘A typical melanoma‘ in my eye.
The pale colour is abnormal.
Best course of action was removal.
Sightseeing was looking dimmer and dimmer.
To cut a long story short…end of June, no change,
early November, still no change.
My next visit is May 2017 .
And many, many test during the early months of the year
revealed that I have Sarcoidosis…and not a melanoma.
So although the start of the year was very rocky…
our path did take us to Europe,
and Dubai.
And we did see our younger son married.
My path for 2017 is to revisit France and
the Western Front where
my Grandfather served
during World War I.
Just a short trip.
It may or may not come to fruition.

Sorry to hear of the troubles with your eye, but glad you were able to travel even though you were working on a cure and wondering what the next step would be. Best wishes for accomplishing all those travels in the new year! They sound terrific!

The funny part about the whole episode is that my eye is not troubling me…it is only the experts who thought it may be. And that is not to say it won’t a a later date, but I am more careful in the sun these days. New bigger sunglasses and similar precautions all help. Must be honest I am looking forward to my short journey in 2017.

It’s funny how things come around again. I developed shingles this summer — doctor said the high heat and exposure triggered something that was there all along. Who knew!
