[TexasCowboy]

Hello, folks.

I gave up on my wireless laptop. Maybe the network will let me stay on long enough to post.

I have okay days and bad days, but, like everything else, I take it one day at a time and pray for the best.
God knows He can load the wagon and I'll pull the load. I just ask Him to lighten the load a bit if it be His will.

The leg is healing very nicely. I'm walking with two crutches now, and by the end of next week they hope to have me down to one.
There is nothing for the titanium rod to affix itself to so it takes a lot of time for the scar tissue to wrap itself around the rod sufficiently to hold it, but it does feel really good to put weight on it. It feels like a good stretch for some strange reason.
I've have recurring bowel problems and urinary problems, but it seems to be slowly getting less severe.

I go into UCLA next Monday to begin the chemical treatments to combat the remaining cancer in my body. I'm told that this is not regular chemo, and I won't have the same reaction to it as with regular chemo.
Whatever. I just want to get started killing this damn thing!

The worst part of all of this is the exhaustion. I have to do what I can do early in the day because by four o'clock I'm wiped out.
I've tried to keep up with all the posts, but my computer time has been almost nil. Even with the few I've read I can see the love and kindness pouring fourth.
I thank the Good Lord that He has allowed me to live long enough to meet so many people with hearts of pure love.

----------------------------------------

Faith is gone to UCLA to set up an appointment to install a device in her chest cavity to automatically interrupt the seizures. It works by providing a constant stimulus to the Vegas nerve which sidetracks the seizures.
My poor angel is having eight to ten seizures a day now along with all the other MS problems.
She and I remind me of the blind leading the blind. We both do as much as we can for the other, but it's always a struggle.

-------------------------------------

I'll try to keep you better informed, folks, when I get my laptop on line and get off this network.
God bless you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Keeping you both in my prayers - better days ahead!
