Update on parking
It took two months for the them to do it. It is nice to have two spots. We had to call the cops to write a ticket for someone that had parked in it last night. The person was not disabled. The complex now knows that you cant have two disable people fighting for one spot.

Woo Hoo!
Well I had another PET scan on Friday because my new onc wasn't happy with the MRI and wanted to make sure I was really in remission. MRI showed old stuff in liver that my "old" onc thought was nothing. He said some residual scarring would always be there. However, I was glad to get the PET to make sure. Guess what? I am…

OT: What Do You Think Of Lance Armstrong's cheating and lieing?
Aside from what he has done for cancer, I think it is awful how he lied and cheated to get the titles, fame and money. I am just glad he finally told the truth. I assumed he was guilty last year when he dropped the lawsuit, as, he gave no good reason for not going forward with it. Besides being banned from cycling and…
