They got me on a patch. It worked great after i had it on for about 24hrs. woke up this morn with pain and took a loratab. need to go to work but i think i'm going to stay home and enjoy company and my daughter.
the diagnosis is sinking in. the reality of what i'm fixing to have to go through is getting real.
i've had so much support from family and friends and offers of help have come pouring in. i am a blessed man and i intend to fight this in that manner.

thanks for all the support from the OCF.
YOU people are the one who TRULY understand and give me HOPE.

putting my big boy britches on and preparing to face this day.
