And the path still goes on.
Tuesday was basically good day. It started with a great coffee outing with a neighbor I hadn't had much of a chance to get to know better, and now I have moved that up to a much better level and enjoyed it tremendously. We enjoyed more than a couple of cups and I ventured the new McDonald's Cinnamon treat. I think I should have warned my stomach a bit, since I think it carried it around far too long. Six or so hours later when I was in some disturbing pain after our evening wellness group, Cindy was questioning my food intake for the day and just laughed and said, "so I guess healthy eating hasn't really taken a high priority position yet?" Well many of you out there can help me answer that with gusto. You know we could bellow out a multi voice choir lick that simply sang jubilantly, NO. But I am working on volume, and content so soon things will be better.Speaking of choir, Bob, I hope you will pass on again the next opportunity to hear the Cincinnati Comrade group. I was just not at a physical level to catch the show but still would like to very much. I'm trying to put all the school concerts in my calendar for the end of the year so that I can hear as many as possible and enjoy many of the exchange students in their final performances.
I thought yesterday the Doctor would change the Chemo quickly because I didn't feel it was doing well but now I am glad I didn't second guess the good doctor because she thought it was and now I do too. I don't feel as tight in the neck and chest as before, so keep up the supportive prayers for this new one. The side effects are hard but if it's working , then fine, a fair trade indeed.
I am close to finally fixing my last frustrating computer problems which will make things so much better and get so much more done on the web and photo pages and this blog much easier too. It is my last big effort and then no more changes in this house. Should be ready soon but for now it is my excuse for late email and slow blog publishing.. I cant tell you how much i enjoy hearing someone is reading this and even those that I don't know. I am humbled that any of you get something out of it and many have shared that you do. It is a wonderful feeling to give a silent gift that you don't know you offer. I hope this part of my attitude shines through and God''s plan allows me to continue this little effort of embracing all of you . Because that is how I look at it, a way to reach out and hug and embrace you all with true feelings of caring and love. You truly are my blessings too.

Love you dad!
Mike,
Really missed you for a few days there but, through the kids, knew this latest round of chemo was hitting you pretty hard. Our prayers are with you everyday that this one works and at the end of all the bad side effects there is good news to share.
Love Ya,
Gerry
Mickey,
I read your blog every day--checking on your progress. Sounds like your doctor may have found the right balance of drugs to fight your "C." You are in my prayers.
