hey folks,
its been a while hasn't it? i bet you thought i just gave up..... well not quite. i am still fighting. if its not one fire its two others. my granny is really sick. she is in an induced coma right now. her lungs look like total shit. she has a severe case of pneumonia. i am really scared that she is not going to pull out of it. it hurts me so bad to see her like this. it is testing the whole family. i need to be strong for them, as they have been so strong for me.

my physical therapy is taking a different turn. i have a new therapist now. she is bringing a fresh insight to my case and hopefully will get me squared away in the next couple of weeks. i only have 5 visits left before the insurance cuts me off. i know the routine, i just need to motivate myself enough to withstand the pain of doing the exercises on my own. i am taking more pain medicine and it continues to work less. the physical pain is getting so old to me, but it is apparent that i am going to have to live with it to a certain degree.

my life is almost back to the hectic shape that it was before cancer hit. i find myself having some different values and outlook on life. cancer has definitely changed me. i have yet to pinpoint some of the exact nuances.

megan is super busy. getting her 'learn' on and working hard for UK. i am so proud of how hard she works at things. she gets frustrated and stressed like we all do, but she has come a long way in being able to manage the stress since the undergrad days. i think dealing with my sick ass has made her tuff (i love you baby!).

anywayz, i better get back to the daily grind. i do ask one thing of all you readers. if you pray.... please pray for my granny. she needs all the help she can get right now. also, i just found out that joanie conley passed away today. my sympathy goes out to her family. she fought a hard fight against cancer.

O my heavens Jimmy I am so sad to hear your granny isnt doing well, I know how close you all have always been. I always enjoyed visiting with her when we were neighbors on Archdeacon (I am assuming it is your granny Helen). By all means she will be in my prayers, as will you, and your mom and dad and Teddy. I was shocked to hear about Joanie, she was a lovely woman, and I hadnt heard anything about her for a long time, and assumed she was ok. My heart goes out to Jock. Please stay strong, you have done so well.
