As you all know I am a stubborn ass when it comes to anything! I am finishing up my 2nd week of Rads today and found out last week that my employer was going to terminate me today and wants me to sign termination papers....lol, I told them I wanted to continue to work through this as long as I can. Like I said I am 2 weeks in and not having any problems that will keep me from working. So I found out from my General Manager they want to fire me before I am there 1 year which is in 1 week and re-hire me once I have finished treatment. I just flat out laughed! Thank GOD I do not use there benefits or I would be screwed! I told them if they will put in writing that they will hire me back at my current position and current pay I will sign the termination papers if not they can wipe there ass with them! So we will see how today goes! I guess next week is when all the fun begins from what I hear on this site! As for now I have been working 10 hr days and playing golf on my days off (I know Davidcpa I should be conserving my energy) I just recently lost my taste and my tongue is a little sore. I have been brushing my teeth 4 times a day, rinsing with caphosol 3 times and drinking about a gallon of water/gatorade daily. Of course eating even though it tastes like sh*t! I started out weighing 195 and today I am 196.8! I remember David saying that I will be the rare 1 that will actually gain weight throughout treatment since I fought so much on doing it and of course not taking the PEG! Lol, I currently just juiced 2 grapefruit, 3 oranges and 2 peaches that I am having for breakfast then I will suck down one of these CIB Fat bombs! lol, that gets me going, then I eat solid foods the entire day. I will keep you all posted on my journey! You all know it will be interesting to say the least! 1 thing that is pretty funny my Radiation tech girls are pretty hot and my wife is getting the jealousy bug! I just laugh at her...damn 25 yr olds! lol, have a great weekend everyone! TGIF 2 days off now!
