Start of Week 2 - Learning about HOPE
Went in Monday to get all hooked up and it was painless, then on to radiation and it was painless too, then went to see Dr. Bechhold and was surprised to have her reaction be one of good cheer and happiness after evaluating my lymph nodes. Seems she liked what she felt. So I came home and realized I wanted to re-read a card that I got from a dear lady in our church, Inez. I want to share it as well with all of you. In it she shared a passage, in her own words that has always comforted her. It struct me the first time I read it, and now even more after a simple day.
Suffering produces Endurance
Endurance produces Character
Character produces Hope
and Hope never dissapoints us and is everlasting.
There are so many people and things involved in my cure, so many skills, so many tasks, so many facts and figures, so many machines, so many chemicals and doses, so many technicians and plans and schedules. Yet for us, there is HOPE. Sounds like a great plan to me! Thank you Inez, and good night all!

hi there PappaCou. i finally made my way to your blog and read the whole thing. sounds like youre in good spirits! thats the mike i know anyway, so its great you havent changed.
i love how you have a fun twist to everything, like how you call it the enterprise and all those other cute things. my cousin could have given you a lecture of the importance of hope and being in good spirits when sick (she studies psychology 4th year), but i dont think you need it:)
anyways, my departure is getting closer every day, and then it won't be too long till i will see you either.
