Wednesday

Just another Wednesday today. Wake up. Work. Come home. I am looking forward to learning more from my second opinion tommorow at Sutter.

Well, "American Idol" has sure cheered this family up a bit. We love that show! Can't get enough of it. Another great generator of positve energy is our new Rock Band game for the xbox360. Brandi plays guitar, Hailey's on the mic, and I do drums. Evan runs dancing. We have been setting aside time from 7-8pm every night to play. Sooooooo cool. I'm glad Rebecca and Devin turned us on to that.

Today I received a journal I ordered from http://www.livestrong.com/ . It's pretty cool. A third of it organizes all my appointments, chart info, exams, etc. The next third is motivational reading. The final third is a journal. Hats off to those people for creating that.

Finally, many thanks for the nice comments, emails, phonecalls, and visits we have received. A bigger thanks to all the people that passed it on and perhaps encouraged someone to make an appointment! That, of course, is the point of me talking about my testicles to anyone and everyone.

Cheers

First off, thanks for the poker invite. I am definitely in next time when my schedule isn't so crazy.

Secondly, You are in my prayer's as I can only imagine how difficult this is with a young family like yours. Your situation makes all of us who are around your age really sit up and take notice that we aren't invincible and we need to take care of ourselves and go to the doctor even when we don't want to.

Thanks for sharing your story as we all need a wake up call from time to time. I applaud your courage and know your situation will have a positive outcome.
