just trying to get the word out......

Michael, Amy, Laura C, and I have created a team for the  DFW Brain Tumor Walk at Trinity Park in Ft. Worth (http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BTW_TX_Homepage) no November 6th.  I was wondering if anyone is interested in joining the team. What would be required to join is the following:

• Be willing to raise at least $350 in donations from friends, family, and co-workers.
• Pay a $50 registration fee (not sure if this counts to the donation goal).
• Put up a personal web page (if you want).
• Show up at Trinity Park on November 6th, between 8 and 9 am, rain or shine.
• Walk 5k (or not, you don't have to) and enjoy the festivities afterward.
• If you can't make it but you still want to be a part of the team, you can become a Virtual Walker (all the responsibilities, but no walking).

If interested, please reply to me. I'll get back to you later.

If you can't do it, no problem. I'll be contacting you for a donation later.

Take care,
Mike

sweet Freedom

SO today I made it 29.  I could not have done it without the prayers and positive vibes being sent my way.  I would also like to thank The Most loving, supportive, dependable husband in the entire world. Michael If it weren't for you....... You know the rest.

SO when Dr fink told me I should sign up for a driving evaluation I forgot to ask if I could ride a bike. I called the Driving evaluation place and it will be on sept 26.   I just called and asked if I could ride a bike and they said it was up to us and as long as I can balance and wear a helmet.  The guy that did my physical therapy said I had better balance than any other patient he had seen.  And since I have accepted the fact that I won't be able to drive now, I am glad.  That gives Teresa and I enough time to get me ready to drive.

The point is that My Husband and I are going to purchase a bike for my birthday!! I feel like a child,  getting so enthusiastic about a bike but it will allow me to get some freedom.

Anyway My next MRI is the 24th and I meet with Dr. Fink the following Monday. SO I will keep you posted!

the rest of my life

The 2nd MRI came back clean!!!! And I still haven't vomited but I am REALLY Fatigued. Anyway, I want to let everyone that has prayed for me   THANK YOU!!!! I got a card from an entire congregation in arksas. I haveo drive again I am going to the nursing home and let them know that I would like to volunteer...in any way possible.  I am thinking of volunteering for hospice I mean I did it once before and they gave me a pt that NO ONE else could take he had skin cancer and it had eaten awy his entire nose and tongue and because every one gasped in horror when they saw him so I had A priest meet me and introduce me to him  and he explained Just how bad it was and so I said OK.   They said he was happiest toward the end of his life than they had ever seen. I think I am being called to hospice care.
I read another cancer survivors story and how she felt like I do and I thought about what I was going to do to fill my time when I am able to drive. That and the one I saw on the woman who has survived cancer and became an artist I saw that on the news.  I have a Parade magazine that I found yesterday that is dedicated to Cancer in America. 

Anyway, THANK YOU PEOPLE that are praying for me. keep on keeping on.

my morning

So I went to speech therapy and had a seizure in the waiting room then I had 2 more with her holding me.  she called Fink and she said GO TO THE ER!!!
So I went in at 9 and just got home at 215.  how is your day..

I am walking

as Most of u know, they TRIPLED my chemo.  More fatigued everyday but I try to take Indy down To Jamba Juice and get an energizing drink,  then walk back  KABLAM!!!!!!!! In yo face doubter mcdoubterson...That is 2 thats righ two MILES  There is a wise woman mary manasse Mother Of Daniel Mannasse:  "I say I are gonna do it and people say YOU CANT."  I say F you watch me.

lots of news

 loop: I had an MRI last saturday then went to dr Fink to see what the results were THE SECOND CLEAN MRI.    have not decrisped enough for her to tell any more info. They tripled my chemo dose  and that is curious considering they havenot seen anything for the last 2 months.  I guess it is designed to really get in there and fight with whats left of Snarla (f ing biatch)  you want to tangle with the Andrea Jordan-Garramone?  Bring it!!!!!

there is a first time for evrything

Let me tell you a story:  A woman just getti ng back from speech therapy. she is completely BUCK NAKED when she goes and looks thru the peep hole. I though it was Jenni Lomberdi a memeber of our church. So she runs upstairs frintic to find something to put on eventually she chose a bathing suit cover.  As she hurried back downstairs her dogs going APE she threw them outside and after a scurry checked the peephole agin just 2 old women.  I opened the door and asked "Are you jenni lomebardi?" she replied , "we are jehovas witnesses."

FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE Those people knocked on my door and there is baptist church down the road and it is a very jewish neighborhood and there is a MONK and buddhist temple next door.
