Ive had a great day!I had a great workout at the "y"!I saw cmK there too!I really enjoy working all my muscules and thats what naughtillis training is all about :)!

12.30.10

I had a docters appointment this morning,the doctor that cut me open so another doctor could implant the radiation seeds to burn my cancer off.He said my psa count was still a little high but,Im not worried bout it!I have faith my cancer is history!:)

home visit

That was a great home visit!I think I was perfect on my pill box then we checked my account and then I was able to utillize my gift card that the south shore mall screwed upon me!It was supposed to be three $100 gift cards,they gave me one $300 one!I got some print cartrages then I got a referbished nintendo wII for under $300 !Thats gonna make a happy man even happier!:)

12.29.10

Today cmD makes his weekly home visit!I filled my pill box last night and I think its perfect but,Im tbi so I may not have noticed something but,its perfect :).Then I go to hics,we are having a newyears celebration :)!

soon

The walkway is still kinda icey so I called the office asked to put some salt down,she said they are in the process of doing that now.Maybe in bout 1 hr I can scoot to walgreens!

snow sux

I just tried to get to a van and the walkway wasnt shovelled well enough for my scooter to make it!I called the office to complain just a little but,couldnt talk to anyone so I just left a message!Thankfully Ive got plenty of food!

fun in cyberland

A friend on fb got an application that calculates your top 10 followers!Thier was a link you could click on to get yours,so I did it!I was so happy to find out all the pretty ladies that check in on me!I have some family,tbi-ers,Im really happy that people I went to high school with are following my journey to try to get back as much as I can of what this tbi took from me!

12.26.10

I cancelled my trips to and from church this morning,kept to and from stop and shop cause Ive got meds ready.I wasnt moving quickly this morning,I dont like to miss church but,my body was saying "too much"!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow Im kinda busy!Ive got an 8.50am pickup time to go to church then a 12.20 return from church!Im going food shopping,my pickup time for that is 1.55pm with a 4.00 return!On the go,just the way I like it :)!

I got a call from my oldest girl (middle child),she said they would be down late afternoon :)!The hard thing to accept is,my youngest child is driving them all here!My little Lissy,I guess thats a thing of the past :(!Where does the time go?

12.24.10

What did I do today?Its kindof a blurr to me now but,Im gonna try.I went to the "y" only to find out nobody was there.:( I get home,ck my voice mail and a message from the "y" saying nobody will be there.I scooted to walgreens,tipped over twice,now time to make dinna :).

crazy scoot

I just got back from a crazy scoot to walgreens!I guess it could be called kinda unsuccessfull cause on the way there I tipped over twice!The sidewalks at my complex have alot of icey areas and clumps of ice and snow!Both times passer bys stopped and asked if they could help but,you know me,I do things myself! I have yet to hear from anyone about tomorrow!My niehbor asked me what I was gonna do on christmas,I said "no plans,havnt heard from my kids"she said"Im having dinna at my sisters.Do you want me to bring you a plate?"I said "okay".Im sure my children want to see thier dad thou!

12.5.10

Church was great!I said a silent prayer while I was waiting for the service to begin,I prayed "Jesus, I'm not the type of guy that can openly,in someones face spread the good news,so I do it quietly through my social networks and my blog by sharing all the great things you've done for me in my new life as well as my previous life.I think alot of people know we are close and they ask me to say a prayer for them!I just ask you to be with all my family and friends but,can you be espesially close to a facebook friend who really needs you right now!" Im confident he heard my prayer
