SHORT: My wife keeps calling me her little miracle. I met with the plastic surgeon yesterday and 2 more drain bulbs were removed leaving only one. I weigh 188 now and feel great. My doctor could not believe that I was down to only taking 1 5/325 5 mil Hydrocodone every 4 hours. I see the new Oncologist tomorrow at 11:00. I started my own physical therapy today. LONG: The doctor questioned what I use to supplement the meds. Including limited use of any Tylenol products and other scripts before she realized that I meant ...that was it. That is the only thing I take. Her & her physicians assistance exact words and I quote were Wow I have never seen that before. She actually said.. You know what all we did to you...right? We performed open chest surgery to remove the majority of your sternum (explains the cool reused scar), we used your large muscle down the right side of your back ( explains really cool large J shaped scar) and we used your right pectoral muscle to cover the center chest void. My answer.... Wait for it.... Yep, I was there. I explained that Im not trying to be tuff, it just that my pain hovers around 2-3. I dont know why God has blessed me with so little pain other than I walk with him constantly thanking & giving praise to him. He gave me a new lease and Im going to pursue the reason why along with keeping a close eye on what my testimony will become and remaining quite to listen. The only pain that challenges me now is the physical therapy that I began today. I refuse to go above 10/325 Hydrocodone at the same frequency so pain management has become a difficult juggling act again. It may not have helped that I went to the shop for 4 hours but... Its in my blood and I cant help myself. I probably shouldnt go to work yet since I have the Best Partner on the planet and actually hes more like a brother. God has blessed me with the best employees on the planet and right now they all feel like partners. Their love & commitment to the business and taking care of customers has placed me at peace. I do not have to worry about work or the decisions that are being made in my absence for the first time in my life. God blessed me advance starting 2 years ago long before I even knew I would need it. My support system at home is also as amazing. Having the Best partner in Life a man could ask for and all of our amazing children from ... Allie my Physical and Emotional support at home (especially when Janice is at work, sleeping or busy) she is my protector watching and supporting my journey back to health. Emily my Spiritual Cheerleader and prayer warrior. Adam my Positive Rock and (aggressive learning of the family business being fed from a fire hose) Cassie his supportive wife of both him and me along with our Quirks & odd habits.. She wont allow me to have negative thoughts. Amber my Hippy support group from a far who introduces positive energy and Family Thoughts when logic isnt working and the direct No Crap approach is necessary (plus she is up late many times like me) Im not as interested in what the Oncologist will have to say tomorrow as I am with what Jesus has to say. For anyone that is still reading.. Please pray that I will know his will after tomorrows meeting. I have little interest in Chemotherapy or much discussion about the C word. I have a lot of interest in Gods ever proving miracles that are still active everyday. My job tomorrow will to be Still.... And Listen ... I cant wait for the Holy Spirits interpretation and for the message to follow. Thank all of you for your prayers, support and obvious patience with me. I Love you all for making this world go around and for allowing me to be along for the ride. Jay
