i am new normal are you?

Congratulations on hitting the three year mark.  thank you for always being so helpful and kind to me and so many others on here.  You are an inspiration and a source of peace when it seems like the world is spinning out of control! 

Three is BIG, you cross the unofficial cured finish line. The docs, conservative as they are, still make you wait another two years to give you the medal but I hand them out at 3!

Congrats!

Matt, You provide good information and I can't thank you (and the others) enough for helping me move through this ordeal with my brother. He's just had his first NED. I pray he'll be just like you!!!

Happiness and health always, Nicci

I can't call the burail plot guy back he hung up on me and this was before caller ID.

Funny you should mention union joke because I kinda fought my battle living by one. About 20 years ago the owner of a company I was working for was in an room beside the drivers room where we use to take breaks throughout the day. He always used intimidation to get his point across and I think he always looked at me as a challenge. I came into the room waved Hi as he watched through the glass and sat down, 5 minutes later he came storming out of the room yelling how long are you going to sit there go out a get in your truck and make me some money. I calmly sat there and reponded I'm a Teamster and I still have 20 minutes left on my 10 minute break. He got so furious the Human Resource Manager had to come out and force him back into the room, she later pleaded with me to never piss him off like that again.

When I started my battle  with cancer and quite a few times during one of the  things that drove me was F..K cancer I still have 20 minutes left on my 10 minute break.

As you know to fight this beast it takes dedication and you have to reach down and pull out inner strength you never dreamt you had. Matt you and others on this great site have a unique ability to give the fighters and their caregivers afterall they are fighters by association, that little push forward towards the finish line that can seem far off in the distance.

By the way the President of that company I worked for, his wife fired him for sleeping where he wasn't supposed to. I look forward to seeing him in the street someday so I can tell him it's a shame he wasn't a Teamster, I could have fought for his job back.

Time to live out my next interesting day........I look forward to every one of them

jeff, you are also one of the great ones here.  i just love your stories.  like Matt, you always make me laugh.  i hope you run into him very soon and can say that.  i'm laughing just thinking about it.  i also laughed picturing him being forced out of the room when you p'd him off.  i wish i could have been there and witnessed that.  you have made my day, you usually do.  thanks jeff for being jeff the teamster!

God bless you,

I need a snort of coffee

Granma times four,

Just to know I helped you snort coffee reminds me I can sneeze carrots.

Matt

Snorting coffee and sneezing some carrots with Matt sounds like fun. My memory is old but I think you're in Oregon and the closest I will get (on the ground) this year will be Denver in November we could freak some people out. I plan on planting some carrots today with great anticipation.

Enjoy the day Matt
