Misc.

I'm taking a break from one my first real days back to post this. I'm working from one of my accounts, Panera Bread . This feels more normal than yesterday because normally I would never work from home. Too many distractions. Yesterday I got 100 percent caught up with my customers and today I'm getting caught up with my company. I talk to my boss everyday and she has been great.

I signed our family up at Cal Fit this morning and I know that made Brandi's day. We have a really nice gym and pool as part of our HOA but they don't have day care. So, what's one more bill in the name of health?

My mom called the other day asking me what book she could buy for me. I asked her for some books on nutrition while fighting a cancer. She brought me 5 books which was really nice. Brandi and I were talking about making an appointment with a professional nutritionist but now we don't have to. With all this info I'm going to be on a "cancer ninja" diet that I'm putting together at night with Brandi. I'll elaborate more on that later.

CT scans tomorrow and I can't wait.

I get this report that shows dots on a map from where people are logging on to this blog. I was very surprised to see it made it's way across the country. Some states included New York, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Arizona, etc.. I'm going to figure out how to post that map because I want it on my journal. That really fires me up because I would have to think it's made some people get their yearly check ups.

I talked to my friend who has the son dealing with cancer. After the the surgery on his stomach that he is still in pain from, they found cancer on a heart valve. He is starting Chemo soon and we pray for him every night.

Before all this, I was never really a spiritual person. Now, with this situation and some great words with my new friend Sharon, I'm thinking about it more and more.

Back to work.

Hi Russ:
Just wanted to let you know that while I was going through my chemo and radiation at Sutter, I went to a class there on nutrition. They supplied me with menus and information on what to eat and what to expect. It was at the Sutter Cancer Center in their Library Room. You might want to check to see what you can get free. This was done by a nutritionist.
I wish you well tomorrow, and I will keep you in my prayers. I am also one that believes that prayer and church will always help your life.
We have watched a couple of movies in the last week that I thought were great, but some may think it is too much religion. They are called "Flywheel" and "Facing the Giants". I never push religion on anyone, but that is also why I love Mary Kay because we believe that #l is God; #2 is Family and
#3 is Work.
I know that this will soon be something to look back on as just a part of your life. Say Hi to the family for us.
Aunt Donna
