Final Days.

Last night we visited the fair again with Lydia and her cousins along with the rest of the family.  The rides were running which Lydia was excited about.  The boys on the other hand had a difficult time looking at anything other than the large plumes of black smoke pouring out of whatever the vehicles were in the grandstands!  I have to say it looked pretty enticing.  Unfortunately I didn't feel so hot after being there a while.  Leah and I headed home and waited for our princess to arrive home from having all her fun.

We spent the time shortly before bed preparing for today.  Today is what we really hope is my last Chemo treatment before surgery.  I am currently in the reclining chair waiting to receive my meds.  So for the time I need to sit and wait while tied to the Med pole I will try to eat some lunch and then during my three hour med I will be watching  The Two Towers.  For those of you who don't know what that is you can read all about it at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/.  For those of you who do recognize the title you know that 3 hours is the perfect amount of time for this movie.  I cant believe my dear wife is putting up with me watching this today even though she doesn't care for the movie. 

I have to say Thank you to some people.  Two of the best chemo nurses in the business.  They were nice enough  to oblige us to take a picture with me.  They have been administering the "cocktails" as some call them, that are fighting the cancer cells in my body.  For that I have to thank you.  It is not fun but I know it is working so I am making the best of a bad situation.

The other group I have to thank is my work.  Tonight at the family work picnic our director asked the staff and families to lay hands on me and pray for upcoming surgery.  None of them knows how much that means to me.  A very caring and understanding group almost very much like a family.  Thank you to all for your care.
