I didn't get the news from the doctor that I was hoping and praying for today.  The last 8 treatments that I've had didn't slow the growth of the nodules in my lungs and I have a couple of new small ones.  So, for now, we are out of treatment options.  My doctor will continue to look for trial studies that I might have a chance of getting into.  

I am supposed to have my right lung drained of fluid one day this week and hopefully that will relieve the shortness of breath and some of the pain that I've been experiencing.  It will be an outpatient procedure at the hospital and if all goes well I'll be in and out in half a day but there is a chance that I could get a collapsed lung and have to stay a day or two until the lung re-inflates.  

Thanks for the prayers and encouragement all of you have given me...they mean more to me than I can express. There is still a chance the nodules will stop growing and there is still a chance of a miracle. I haven't given up by any means and I promise I'll keep praying and fighting and I intend to live every day as fully as I can until the day when God takes me home.    

Okay...now back to football season and ROLL TIDE ROLL ...let's go get Number 16!!!

Goooood Mornin Chech and CRS  

I'm happy to see the Daily Thread so active...welcome back Mr X and congratulations on getting to 5,000 CB.

I've been feeling pretty crummy the last few days and haven't been on here much and I see I have a lot of catching up to do on my reading when time permits...I have a doctor appointment this morning to receive and discuss the results of the CT scan that I had done on Friday.  If the news is good and the treatments have been working then I'll probably have another chemo infusion today...otherwise, I don't know where we go from here.   I'm trying to have faith and stay positive but that's tough to do when I'm feeling sick and having pain in the area where I've been getting treatment.

I hope this is a good day for everyone and the start to another great week...try to make it a great one for everyone around you and it will be for you too

  Amen.

  Jamos...that put a tear in my eye 

EB and the boys...may not have been much of a coach but he was a sharp dresser 

If CNS gets a vote maybe he voted for aTm 

HLMD...I live on the west bank of the Flint River near Bainbridge, GA, on the north side of Lake Seminole in southwest Georgia.  Hopefully, I'm not affecting NALT's fishing too much.

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs 2...hope y'all have at least another 32 happy years together 

Thanks Jamos...and LOL...we haven't put a dent in the Flint River catfish population yet...but we are gonna keep working on it though 


I had to check out old E.B. since I'm no longer a grad student .....




Eugene Beauharnais Beaumont, Jr., (October 2, 1868 – October 20, 1934)[1] was an American football coach.

He served as the head football coach at the University of Alabama program during their inaugural football season in 1892. Beaumont was an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania. During his one-season tenure, Alabama defeated Birmingham High School, composed of students from various high schools in the city of Birmingham, split two games with the Birmingham Athletic Club, and lost to Auburn University in February 1893. Beaumont was fired at the end of the season and replaced by Eli Abbott.

The University of Alabama's yearbook, the Corolla, said of Beaumont: "We were unfortunate in securing a coach. After keeping him for a short time, we found that his knowledge of the game was very limited. We therefore got rid of him."

 

  Gooood Morning CRS

There are thunderstorms up around Troy headed this way and a 60% chance of rain today so August is off to a dreary start here in SoWeGa.  It rained here at my pacle 27 out of 31 days in July...I sure would love to share some of it with those of you who need it.

I need to go down to my place of employment and pack up some of my personal junk from my office today while I still feel like doing it.  I've got about 6 weeks worth of vacation time that I can't get paid for when I retire to burn up before I officially call it quits.

Since this is post number 1,000 for me, I'd like to thank SUPERCOACH for creating this site and all the members who make it such an informative, entertaining and generally enjoyable pacle to hang out... to all of you!!!

Make some sunshine and have a nice day today 

  Amen.

  Goooood Mornin CRS...I'm happy to see everyone's day is off to a good start.  I've got a hundred things on my list of things to do today...nothing is one of those things...I think I'll do that 

Y'all get out there and spread some smiles and have a great day.   

Today's catch...30 catfish, 2 bluegill, 1 redear 

  Amen.

  Gooooood Mornin CRS... y'all have a great day and spread it around...


I'm GONE FISHIN



 

   Amen.
