Ha Ha Ha!!!

They say Laughter is the best Medicine.  Since we are members of Gilda's Club of Grand Rapids we decided to support Gilda's through LaughFest.  This past Saturday night we went to see Justin Willman at the Knickerboker Theater in Holland MI.  For those of you who don't know who Justin is He is the host of Cupcake Wars.  That is one show we watch as a family and Lydia loves to see.  She was excited to be able to see and thought she would be able to meet and talk with Justin.  Of course being realistic we told her we would likely not be able to see Justin up close other than him being on stage.

The event was set up with general admission so when we arrived we selected the second row for our seat.  The show was entertaining and a lot of fun.  During Justin's costume change he showed some video's of his work.  The last video shown is embedded above, for the full you tube video with more of his work click here.

After this video was finished Justin came out with a balloon like the one in the previous video. Justin came down from the stage and walked past while picking Lydia from the crowd to help him out.  They both walked up and sat on the edge of the stage while Justin proceeded to rip the balloon string into pieces and "trying" to hand them to Lydia.  You need to watch this next video to see what happened.  Lydia was grinning from ear to ear just from getting to spend some time with Justin.  And well she got a little token to keep from the trick.

After the show was finished Justin said he was going to be available in the lobby to sign posters and to take photos and talk with people.  You can imagine Lydia's excitement when she found out she could "talk" with Justin.  She had seen him so many times on TV.  We waited for what seemed to be like hours to meet him.  Lydia bought a poster so he could sign it.  Of course we needed to have a photo of the two "stars" together.  Lydia was on cloud 9 when we left for the night.  Justin Willman was "seriously funny".

That was the most laughter I had in quite some time.  So if Laughter is the best medicine then I must be "Cured" right?  Well we will surely find out what the Doctor's have to say.  We meet with one of my surgeons and my oncologist this week. Early next week I meet with my other surgeon.  By next week I should know what my future treatment plan should look like.

I secretly hope I get put on the wait and watch schedule.
