Hi Everyone!

     Im up early as usual converted back to hospital time which is usually in bed by 12 and up by 0230 or 0300 and been up ever since.  Luckily today I dont have to be to work until late so I will be going back to bed.  I am back to work now and managing to get through the days.  Many ask does it hurt yes it does but its manageable and Im basically out of time at this point other then my vacation days.  So Im saving them for whatever else might come along or maybe even a vacation. Either way I have to be stingy cause I dont want to wind up taking days off and pulling 0's.  Anyhow things I believe are going as well as can be expected I am up and getting around very well. I still will not lift or really do anything with the exception of the treadmill at that gym.  This surgery was pretty extensive in repairing all that I had chosen to do to myself since the last one.  Meaning Im not doing anything in my control do screw this one up cause they only keep getting harder to fix the abs when you keep cutting them.  Since the last round was three surgeries in about three months there was not time to heal  then throw in some chemo and you have all the makings for a disaster. Particulary when you have someone like myself who is not the most compliant patient.  However Im not doing anything at this point and have absolutely no intention to for about another 8 weeks and then I should be able to start back in the gym at a snails pace.  But in the grand scheme of things I have had more second chances and been luckier then many cause I can walk, talk, think (most of the time) and do pretty much anything I want and better yet Im alive!  So how lucky am I pretty damn lucky I think!  Now on that note how lucky are you?  So for now its all good thanks to all for your support and prayers!  I would not have made it this far without you!

God Bless
