Well hello Nate! Awesome for you to come back and let everybody know how you are doing, again...on my way to work I was thinking bout ya(not a stalker! lol) and was going to contact you to ask if I could let everybody know here that you were doing OK (considering of course) but that you were feeling more able to communicate in a better mindset way than how you felt when they read the last one of your postings. So glad you did! So here's my ol' man, 4 1/2 months after his last radiation treatment and he has no meat on him but he's alive and kicking it and has done so much around the house and kept himself as busy as he could and took/and still takes naps during the day and I don't know how the heck he does it but for him I guess this is how he handles all the crap associated with this, he keeps himself busy which I think keeps his mind off the pain/hunger/soreness all that,(plus his pain meds of course!) and now yesterday he started painting my wood stairs going down the basement and the woodwork and he is ready to tear into redoing my bathroom floor...we only have 1 bathroom so I'm scared cuz if he poops out(no pun intended lol) I can't be without a potty! lol But he is going strong at 55 so Nate, I have faith! You are a young strong man you will be hugging those pups and your lady real soon! Actually "Just Do It" now! lol screw that tuby thing they won't care! Go hug em man! You need it!
