Your enthusiasm amazes me. Im so impressed with your staminia. The inner strength you have spills over to be physical strength too! When I was at your point, I didnt get out of bed. I wasnt able to talk or even take a walk. You are doing absolutely wonderful. The gum is a great way to exercise your jaws too. Your athletic ablities really helped get you thru this.

When you get your mask to take home, consider it to be your marathon trophy smile


GO RANDY, GO!!!!!!!!
