Hi Everyone,

Everything is going well here!  I have recently returned to full duty at work!  I am finally feeling pretty good and it appears my last surgery will call it Number 4 has been a success.  Honestly the best I have felt in a long time.  I am virtually off of all my stomach meds since this surgery.  The constant nausea has stopped!  I guess when your have a abdominal hernia like I did and your intestines are getting caught up in all that mess you might feel sick you think! Well no more!  I have been in the gym training heavily again.  Well not heavy but I have been putting my time in.  I really need to get a shirt no Im not a wimp I just had surgery.  I have been doing massive reps with very little weights probably in the 100's if not more on certain exercises.  The last time after chemo when I went into the gym and I was pressing my five pound dumbbells a guy I know approached and asked me if I had shoulder problems no I have cancer problems and Im just this weak from all the nonsense.  HAH Im actually getting quite good at this starting over business and getting deconditioned and reconditioned but hopefully this is the last time.  Take a look at me now Im going from crying about having cancer to crying about how little I can lift.  Wow it doesnot take long to forget does it????  Nah I did not forget and neither should any of us as to how lucky most us are.  Im alive and Im not suffering and every day about ground is a good one right now.  I am truyly very lucky to have gotten where I am as I know so many who have not been this lucky!  I had the opportunity to meet a very inspiring man at the Police Memorial in May his name is Nick Forgione and he is a retired Philadelphia Highway Patrol Officer he spotted my got cancer shirt and immediately approached me and shook my hand and told me was a survivor.  He said to me I will keep you in my prayers. "I pray for all those who have cancer, those who died from cancer and those will get cancer".  Pretty cool guy and I was humbled and honored to meet him.  So Nick if you read this keep inspiring us all and Ill be praying for everyone just like you.  Again thank you to everyone for all the love, inspiration and kindness you have all offered me.  As you can see today I am very upbeat and its because of all of you that I feel this way.

God Bless

Randy
