This morning Sharon said: You didn't sleep very well last night. Yea, I said, I was really worried and couldn't get everything off my mind. She said: I would think that Thursday night would be the night that you couldn't get much sleep worrying about what the doctor was going to tell you. I said that is probably going to be a tough night too, but last night was the last time I could pray for a miracle. Dr. Rushing had explained to me about the odds with a Sarcoma when I first met him and he explained about what it was and what it wasn't. He said if everything went as well as possible, I had an 85% chance of living 12 years. He said that some people are actually OK even after that time. What I was not hearing at the time was that it didn't sound good for a cure. He explained that he knew what he could do and how far he could go, but what he didn't know was what God wanted to do. He said he was the only one that could cure it no matter what. That's why I was praying every night since. That's why I have been so appreciative of all the prayers that people have been saying for me. It's now in God's hands. Actually it has been in his hands from the beginning.

This morning really did go well. I arrived about a half and hour early for the CT Scan because I usually get my infusion at 9am I left the house at 8:30 and got there at about 8:45. I had called the hospital and told them I had some what of a conflict and could they book me at about 10:30 after my CT Scan. They said it would not be a problem, just come over when I was finished. To my surprise they called me in about 9am and I was finished about 9:20. So I went directly over to the hospital to find that they had already ordered the medicine and they took me in right now. I was complete with everything by 10am.

I then took our tax return to the post office to be shipped to Bruce in San Diego. Sharon had been all tweaked about getting the return finished early this year, but once we got going we did it in two days. After the post office I went to the grocery to get more antioxidants. God I love that word. I then had a talk with the grocer to see if he knew all the antioxidants. He said he would think anything green would be good to start with. I said WRONG!!
I then pulled out Maura's list and showed him what he had been missing in his diet. It was all good until the guy in line behind me started to get antsy. I did get an artichoke today. I didn't think they were in season, but the lady in that department said they had some real nice one's today. I got two, I'll let you know if I like them. I do enjoy artichoke if they are fresh and not to hard. I know some people like them hard, but not me. I cook them for at least two hours and sometimes more depending on how large they are. If anyone wants my cooking instructions let me know. For a $10.00 donation to Off the Wall Graffiti you can get it. How do you like that Maura. Get ready for the money to roll.

Thanks everyone for the prayers, keep them coming. We'll let you know the results Friday. No matter what the results, I will continue to fight and do what I can to win this battle. Your prayers are the only true cure. Love you all. More tomorrow. Tom
