September 23, 2011

Today is another day to celebrate, I am still here working harder than ever to beat this disease and my attitude today is good. I had visitors yesterday and that means so much to me. I come home to a nice tidy house and within an hour it looks like a disaster zone. My medications are all over the place I set up a bed in the living room so I can rest when I am tired. The only problem about being tired is that I am tired all the time. The medication I am taking for harvesting my stem cells is causing some pain but nothing that I cannot deal with I love being home and a year of treatment seems like an eternity. I am so thankful to my wife Jan and her attitude. I tease her and she is so good about it. She is a Doctorial Candidate and has given an ever increasing amount of her time to me which means in turn she has less time to dedicate to her Dissertation.  I could not ask for a better wife. I love talking to my daughter Lisa, she offers words of wisdom all the time and gives me hope and a perspective I don’t have. My son Brian, wow what a great Dad, yesterday we were teasing that if he could have two more sets of twins he could purchase a Mormon assault vehicle. He was so good to laugh and tease right along with me. I love all the good people who are around me and supporting me through this the greatest struggle of my life dealing with physical challenges.
