On a Jet Plane!!

Well:

Cam and I leave for Florida tonight. It will be a long night but by 4pm Monday we will be in our hotel in Key West!!

Both he and I have been looking forward to this for a very long time.

Thank you 2CDA it got me better so I can go to this with him and I am very grateful.

Its going to be a blast. I am thinking about bringing my Laptop so I can post when I am there. Not sure. I will see.

If you don't hear from me until 7-5 that's why.

We had the Boyscout Plant Auction yesterday all day. We didn't do as well as last year but I think we did OK.

It was bit chaotic but fun. Thanks to everyone who bought plants and donated to the Scouts.

Well, busy morning getting ready to go.

Talk to you later.

Added a new link

I still search Google for articles on HCL. I asked the question "Does HCL ever go away"?

The link was the first link to come up. Good simple explanation.

Talk to you later.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

To My Father:

Happy Dads Day!! You deserve it.. Like I said last night, your my Number 1 Dad (well, my only dad so I guess it makes you number 1 by default!) Just kidding>>>>>


I am having an awesome Fathers Day. I got breakfast in bed, scrambled eggs and peanut butter and jelly Face Sandwich!! The best ever...

I also got a new 3 Doors Down CD, which I already put on my IPOD. They also gave me a picture of the 3 of us at my first camp out post treatment!!! It was Camporee. Its the picture I posted day we got back from camp. I have great kids.!!! I am very blessed.

My boys are also taking me to see the HULK today. I can't wait. Looks like another great Marvel Comic Movie!!! This is the summer of Super Hero Movies...

I had my sister, her kids , my parents and my brother over last night. She is in town visiting for a couple of weeks. It was great to see every one. All of the kids are getting very tall and grown up. I made a great Tenderloin but I need to get better using my new grill. It was a little on the dry side.


Weather this weekend has been great but a little breezy at night. Everyone was a little chilly sitting in the back yard.

One week from today Cam and I will be getting ready for our RED EYE flight to Key West. It is going to be interesting... Not sure how well the boys will travel that late at night. We shall see.

But it gives us one day of relaxation before we start the high adventure camp on Tuesday.

As you can tell I have absolutely zero to report on the HCL front. I will post new links if I come across interesting info. Again my next appointment is first week of September. I am looking forward to seeing where my counts our. My guess is the same as last time. Very stable and normal.

After that its every 6 months for a couple of visits. Then once a year. Have a good one!!!

FRIDAY!!!!

As the song goes "Thank God its Friday".....

Great Disco Movie too. I love the "Leather Man" ... Dancing is his life and everything else is Bull SH...

No one has any idea what I am talking about, unless you like Donna Summer.

Had a crazy crazy week. Work is out of control but keeping me busy.

Took care of my hospital bill issue. Well, I never mentioned it. Legacy felt it was wise to send me one bill for my hospital stay. ONE BILL, are you nuts.. I am not Richy Rich.

Good news ,they will work with you but you have to ask. They don't advertise it or advise you. Its up to the "patient" to figure it out.

What a joke. I spent 4 days feeling like crap and stressing out. Only to get a another surprise a month later and no options.

It worked out but I don't understand why they don't send you a letter giving you options. Yet they send you a nice survey asking how I enjoyed the stay....

LET ME SEE:

STUCK IN ER FOR 18 HOURS
I TOLD THE DOCTOR WHAT I HAD AND WHAT TO DO (give me the PHD)
GOT A BAD IV
FINALLY GOT A ROOM BUT HAD TO BEG
FOOD WAS HORRIBLE

Amazingly enough I got better... Thank God!!!!

I guess I have to give them a passing grade.

Well, the business side of Cancer treatment is being dealt with so all is good.

On another note:

Cameron earned over $100 from his last can drive. He can use it for spending money on our trip. All the kids are getting very excited to go.

We have all the details about done and only 2 weeks to go. It will be fantastic!!! I will post pictures if possible. I am thinking about taking my laptop so I can keep you all up to date on our frolic thru Florida..

That State will never be the same.. Watch out for the boys of Troop 194!!!!!

Well, I am done for today. Take it easy and have a great weekend.

BY THE WAY, IF ANYONE IS VISTING MY BLOG. LEAVE A MESSAGE.. I HAVE NO CLUE IF ANYONE IS STILL READING THIS. COME ON FEED MY EGO.....

Swimming

Hi to all!

Yesterday was a so, so work day but after work Cameron and I went swimming. We had to get some swim time in so that we can get ready for our high adventure vacation in Florida. The whole group got together at the pool.

I was a bit concerned about swimming since I had no idea how I would feel. I really have not done any major physical activity since my treatment.

I did really well! My stamina is not great but I made it through the BSA Swim test (practice). I will be ready for the real one.

Cam and I did some racing also. I beat him on the first 25 meters. He beat on the second 25. He is in better condition then I am!

We had fun diving on the diving board also. Its nice to get out and laugh together!!


Looking forward to the Vacation I need it. We all do! I wish the whole family could go.

Anyway, I just need to get through the next few weeks at work. Its been a bit stressful but not too bad. Almost done with the two projects I have been working on. That will get rid of the stress for sure. Everything esle is going well.

Say Happy Birthday to Tree!!! (Sunday)

See ya later, not much to report.
