sleeping much better now that i am not worrying all night about going to hopkins and the lengthy and stressfull drive to baltimore ( i am not a long distance commuter type of person. being on the interstate during the rainy november month brought back memories of the time in spring 1997 in alabama that laci and i hydroplaned and spun off the interstate backwards going only 50 mph in very light rain . and yes it was rainy and slick nearly every day we drove to and from hopkins. i just buried my ptsd emotions from that1997 incident and dealt with them as additional sleeplesness during the night. all better now though.felt healthy enough to be out almost the whole day today with laci doing some last minute shopping for the boys.going to this on sunday with my family and my sister and brother-in-law and their youngest daughter. love to all of you keeping us in your prayers.

Cancer status update 7:28 pm
Dec 4th, 2009 no more day trips to hopkins and 4 weeks off the chemo poison pills I am looking forward to getting rested and gaining at least 15 pounds back and having enough time during the day to prepare the healthy meals i need to fight the cancer with my own immune system while waiting for the brain swelling from the radiation to subside.
