Good Morning,
I believe I slept about 5 hours last night. This happened to many times as I was going through cancer treatments.
I would wake up, in the hospital, and not be able to return to my sweet slumber. A person can watch TV for only so long. Getting up and putting on my slippers, I would take hold of the pole with wheels which all the fluids were dripping into my body, and walk around the Cancer Ward. Almost sounds like a Prison Ward. I wanted to get out of that place, but there is no way out!
I was a high school football coach for many years, so the nurses and doctors would ask, "Coach, how many laps have you done?" Usually, I averaged 10 laps.
For those of you who have not step foot into a hospital, all the rooms were step up facing the outside walls. The Nurses Station is on the inside. Think of a football field, that's the Nurses Station. Where the fans sit is the hospital rooms and the space between them is the Track. I did my laps on the track of the Cancer Ward. Got it?
God asked me, "As you pass by each room, hold out your hand and say, 'Blessings.'" Every room was filled with people fighting for their life. The Cancer Ward is not a happy place.
In a little while, Nancy & I will be going to see our grandson!!
I hope and pray y'all have a great weekend!
(oops, a little texan accent got out)
I am a cancer survivor. My "Cancer Free Day" is January 7th,2009. On 1/7/19, will be 10 yrs Cancer Free! . I had stage 4 Choriocarcinoma. This type of cancer is a germ cell, which is damaging to your organs. People I talked to about my cancer usually asked, "So when are you going to write a book about it?" Well, the book took two and a half years to complete and the title is, "Courage and Comfort How a wise man walked through the valley of cancer and strokes." Go to Amazon.com.

Busy Weekend!
Weekends are good, yet they seem to go by too fast! It's Sunday night at 9:04pm and I have a few moments to write to you.
I'm still amazed with all I am able to accomplish over the weekend! Six months ago, I would not be able to do what Nancy and I did this weekend.
On Friday, we went to the Huntington Beach Farmer's Market. Oh my, it was a hot afternoon even at that the beach. We bought a book for our grandson Jim, then drove up the coast.
Saturday, we woke up later than usual. We got carried away with our bible study time and all of a sudden it was 2pm! Howard's is a nice charming place to eat. We always eat breakfast there, but had lunch for a change. We came home and watched a movie. End of Saturday.
Today has been a long day! I woke with bites on the left side of me head. We went to Church...always good. Now, I needed to vacuum the bedroom. mattress, curtains, floors, bathroom, and in the front room. Meanwhile, Nancy is washing all our bedding. At one point, of course, we needed to eat lunch so we went to Polly's. To walk off the food we just inhaled, we went to Boot Barn which was right next door. Keep in mind, out here in SoCal, it summer time HOT!!! Just about five minutes ago, Nancy brought in the last of our bedding.
Oh yeah, my business cards came on Thursday. Nancy ordered them from Vista Print and they look great. The card has the title of my book. My name and this blog. Plus I'm on Fb.
Nancy and I are going to watch a movie now, so God Bless y'all!
