My New Wheels

Tammy and Randy, my sister and brother in-law came through with a great wheel chair for me. It belonged to Randy’s mother Ruth who passed a couple years ago and was someone I greatly admired. I spent several summer days at her lake house sipping iced tea and playing in the surf. She was always patient and kind to a little brat like me. And I am honored to be able to ride in her chair.
Anyway it is great and comfortable; I have not had to actually use it yet in action. But it is in the trunk of the car and ready for deployment when needed. Which I hope is never, but I fear is soon. Cindy has threatened to make me use it tomorrow for chemo treatment as I got winded and worn out walking to the building today (Wednesday).
I have test driven it in the house and took a chunk out of the drywall in the first 60 seconds, so got a little work to do there.
Bumper sticker submissions have been coming in, but I am still looking for more.
I will post the leaders for your viewing enjoyment soon.

Notice to all of you who submit postings to the blog. I do get your messages and can not thank you enough for your notes of encouragement and hope. Sometimes I get postings from people I have not heard from in years and it is such a joy to know they are concerned with my situation, I love you all!!!
I wish there was a way to see how many people actually see the postings, if there is I have not found it yet. I will get up the energy to look one day at the settings. I might really not want to know as it may affect the content I put up here. So far I have been pretty honest and no holds barred, but if I see big distribution it becomes embarrassing to talk about some of the things I include you, my faithful readers, in on. But hey like I have said for a while now, when your mother in-law has seen your twig and giggle berries in a hospital bed up those stupid skirts all shame is gone! I base the rest of my humility on that event: Is this worse than Ellen seeing my meat and two veg? No, then go for it.

One downfall of the posting it that if you do not register on the blog and just leave a quick message as anonymous I do not have anyway of writing you back or contacting you to say thanks or catch up. That is fine to leave the message an anonymous, but if you would like to add your email address in the body of your message I could be able to write you back. I completely understand if you do not want to give it out publicly since the messages left can be viewed by all. And I cannot promise that I will write back either. Depending on how all the impacts of life are treating me on a particular day. I have really been neglecting work lately, and have to find a way to get more involved with that.

Well that’s all for now. I will give a longer Chemo update another day.
Love from the glow in the dark Chemo Kid, Greg.
