A 6 year old's definition of sex

Early posting today due to going to the Sox game tonight plus I have to be up early tomorrow morning for the 8:30 appointment at the UIC. Not much to report on today's event. Went to mass and said prayers after church. Zachary had a half day and is done with school for the summer. My gripe for today, I was notified that my family doctor is leaving the Hammond Clinic. I finally found a doctor that I liked and now he is leaving. I have HMO so I have to stay in the clinic. I do not know of any other good family doctors there. I guess if that is my only gripe of the day I am doing good.

The other day while we were in the car, Zachary(which he often does) asked for us to tell stories about him. So I thought I would share some. Excuse me if I have previously shared some earlier. It's getting difficult to remember everything I have written about. When Zachary was about a year and a half, one day we were driving in the car. In this deep monstrous voice we heard a "MaMa" coming from the back seat. I wish we were able to record it. I never heard of a child's voice being so deep. It was funny. When he was a little older, if one of the doors in the house was locked he would knock on the door and say "It's me Yakawy". Like us knowing it was him would make us want to jump up and unlock the door. We teach our kids to pray at a young age. We have a crucifix in almost every room of the house. When Zachary was 3 he was looking at a cross and praying to Jesus. Then he turned around and said "I am not talking to Jesus any more. He is dead and can't hear me." Last year Zachary got himself into trouble ( I don't even remember what for). He was told to put his nose in the corner. Innocently he asked "Why? My nose didn't do anything wrong." Some day I am going to check into getting a cord for the camcorder so I can connect it to my computer. I would love to share a clip of Zachary doing his dolphin noise. It is hilarious. I am not sure how he does it. If I tried I would end up gagging. It sounds just like a dolphin. Not sure how he figured out how to make that sound. Next time you see Zachary, ask him to make the sound for you. I think you would get a kick out of it. Just a few months ago Sally was talking and Zachary was in the room. She spelled out the word s-e-x so Zachary wouldn't know what she was talking about, but then the goof said the word right after. So Zachary kept saying "S-E-X Sex!" When asked what sex was. He said "It's when you take your clothes off and shake your boobies and butt around". We don't have cable and we monitor what the kids watch closely. So I have no idea how he came up with that response. We asked him how he came up with his answer. His replied " I don't know. It's just what I think".

Need to get ready for the game. By the way thank Mike (my oldest brother) for the Sox tickets. Hope you have an enjoyable evening. God Bless

Sally + microwave= disaster


Today I went to Central Park to meet Zach and his classmates.It was a field day for them and all parents and siblings were invited to be at the park. All the kids were having a fun time then I was spotted. I could just hear them say "Hey, there's the Fat Guy with the big head. One child that was there was Dante. He asked me if I could give him a cookie. I did have a bunch of candy wrappers in my pocket but, nothing to make him think that I had cookies. I said ," I will get you a cookie if you have cake on you." He didn't have any so we both lost out. I was spending more time with the other kids than my own son. To Zack I am his dad and he is use to me and the other kids probably look at me as a prop.(Fat Guy with a balloon head).

Sally and I went across the street to visit with a neighbor and to bring dinner to them. We felt uncomfortable walking there but I am glad that we went. I have lived here since 1992. I really never talked to any of the neighbors. In fact, I was told that one of my neighbor who lives next to me is afraid of me. Not sure why, I never said or did anything to him. But I have been told I look crabby and mean. When Sally and Michael moved in (almost a 11 years ago) Michael started talking with the neighbors but they still avoided me. In the last couple of years Sally and I have been trying to become more friendly with them. Now what I have been home I have talking with them more. I will feel better when I go back to work knowing my neighbors better. I feel now that Sally and the kids can go to some of them if something were to happen (like a fire) and needed help. The neighbor we visited has been ill since the fall. He just came home from the hospital on Friday after being there for over a month. We really don't talk to him but he was always on him porch watching out for the neighborhood. He always waves to us and had came over a couple of times to help us out. I am looking forward to seeing him on the porch again watching out for us.

When mentioning fire it just brought up a lot of memories for me. Like I have mentioned before Sally can cook. What I have failed to mention is we are lucky the house is still standing. Sally has caught a cutting board, dish towel, wooden spoon, paper towels, and I am sure other items I can't think of at this time on fire. Some of them was because she turned on the wrong burner and the other times was because she was careless and had an item to close to the flame. Also on several occasions has forgotten to turn off the flame. I have walked in the kitchen a couple of hours after she was done cooking to find a flame on the stove. What even scares me more then her using the stove is her using the microwave. I had to replace at least 3 microwaves after she was done using them. The very first time was before we were married. I was working and Michael and Sally were there. Sally went to make a bag of microwave popcorn. I have no clue what she did but the house was covered in smoke. It was so bad that when she went to open the windows smoke was coming out of them. The inside of the microwave was charred and my house smelled for days. I purchased a new microwave with a sensor so this way she could not burn popcorn again. She managed to ruin that one when she was melting chocolate. Not sure how but the microwave started sparking really bad. That was the end of it. Then we bought another one. It didn't even last for 2 years. She had this great idea to try to roast garlic in the microwave. She was in the living room and noticed smoke coming from the kitchen. Flames were literally shooting out of the microwave. She was able to put the flames out with baking soda. Even the bowl she used was shattered. Needless to say that microwave was a goner. Burned garlic smell is much worst then burned popcorn for your information.

I have a favor to ask from everyone. My good friend Dan, his sister is in need of prayers. I won't go into details but the family as well as I am is very concerned for her.

By the way the picture above is the Garlic she nuked,

It's getting late. Sally is waiting for me to watch a movie. God Bless.

little red rocket

Today I didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked to. Sally keeps reminding me what I need to get done before the surgery. I spent a long time in the doctor's office and waiting to have blood work. The doctor was in a very talkative mood and talked to me for a long time. Which led me to walking out of the office without the prescription refills which was the reason why I made the appointment in the first place. I will have to call his nurse tomorrow and have them call it in to the pharmacy. I had planned on riding our bikes to the park with Sally and the kids but the rain put a damper on it. Usually when I pick up Zachary from school I let them play on the playground for a few minutes. So today I let them. Kaity wouldn't play on anything because it was "hot". Then the rain started to pour down and we had to run to the car. The kids were all soaked. We went home until it calmed down a bit. I need to go to my mom's and asked the little ones if they wanted to go. Zachary of course wanted to and Kaity said "Nooooooooo" as she covered her head. I guess she didn't like getting her hair wet. What a typical female( A miniature sally) she is turning into. She did decide to go with us.

Dan thanks for the name of your mechanic. It's a little far for me to since we only have one running car right now. Deb I might be calling you for the number of your mechanic. I am going to take the car to Auto Zone and see what they have to say. I have been having my brother in law work on the cars but he has been really busy and his wife is having problems with her truck. I am very leery with garages. It stems back when Sally was having car troubles. Right after we were engaged Sally's little red horizon( I called the rocket) kept stalling.When I used to talk to her and she was driving the Rocket it always sounded like a wind up toy. I knew financially it would be hard for her to have it repaired being a single mom plus she had lot of medical bills and a student loan. So me who wanted to take care of my future wife told her I would pay for the car repair. Sally took it to a garage she had heard was good. We weren't aware they were under knew ownership. They rebuilt the carburetor and it was a hefty bill. I didn't mind as long as I knew she was going to have a safe car and not driving around with a car that stalls. Well, the car was still stalling so we went to take it back. On the way back we passed an older lady who's car had stalled about a block away from the garage. As Sally and I were dropping off her car the same lady walked into the garage yelling because the car she just picked up died on her. I had to a few times talk to the lady behind the counter. None of the mechanics wanted to come out to talk to me after I said they should all be wearing clown suits, cause that place was a joke. It was funny but it was a warning of who we were dealing with. A couple of days later the mechanic called Sally and told her the car was dead. The engine was locked and her car couldn't be repaired. They wouldn't even refund the cost of the repair because they said it was a different issue. Sally of course was really upset and couldn't afford to buy another car. So she had it towed this time to the dealership. There was a piece of metal that mysteriously ended up in the engine. That was when the crap really hit the fan. If they thought I was mad before ,that was nothing. I am not going to go into detail cause there are some younger kids looking at this blog. I did tell them that I was going to call the better business bureau and will make sure whomever I talked to that there name is mud in the auto repair business. Once it was removed the car was running but it still was stalling. She drove it like that for over a year. Her mom and I took her to work and much as we could. She drove my car a few times to. After I paid off my car (2 months before our wedding) I bought her a brand new car. It was our family car until she crashed it. It wasn't her fault and beside this wasn't the point of this story. This is the reason why I asked if anyone knows of a good car repair shop. I don't want a repeat of past events. Needless to say they have new owners again.

Thank you for visiting and God Bless.

I really do have a wife!


Good evening to my blog family. Today was a busy day to say the least. We slept in little later than we should have. So we rushed around to make it to the 11 AM mass. After that was Michael's graduation commencement. It was shorter then I had anticipated which was a plus. It's hard to believe that this little boy I once knew has grown into a young man. Actually, he will always be that little Waldo to me. Afterwards, we went to Sally's mom and had pizza. When we got home the kids wanted to play outside so we were outside until it was time for them to get ready for bed.

There isn't much to report today. Nothing came up for me to record in my spy blog note book. Except for Michael hugging his principal when she handed him his diploma.

This is going to be a busy week for me. Which is good because it will help me not to think of the surgery to much. As for the surgery yes, I was really down about it. Not that I don't want to get better but no one wants to get cut open. Plus it's a major organ and it is a risky operation. I do understand that the benefits out way the risk. It's one of those things that I have to take a chance on and I know everything will be in God's hands. Tomorrow morning, I am driving Mr Michael around. He needs to go to the Career Center to pay his book fee so his credits will transfer over. Then he wants to go to the Hammond Police department to fill out an application. I have a doctor's appointment at 11 AM. It's with the family doctor so I can get refills on all my medication. Tuesday, Zachary's class is having a picnic. I am going to try to visit him at the park. Not sure if I will because there are many things I need to do around the house before the surgery. Plus the car is having an issue so I might have to take it in to get it looked at. Does anyone know of a good mechanic? Wednesday is Zachary's last day of school. That night Zachary, Michael, my friend Dan, and I are going to a Sox game. Before I get booed at, I will say I am going to have a fun time. I am thinking about wearing my Cub's jersey. Sally is pleading with my not to. I asked Zachary if he wanted to go to the Sox game. He said "No, I want to see the Cubs play". That was a very proud moment for me. I am doing something right with him. Thursday, I have to be at the UIC at 8:30 in the morning. I have to meet with the anesthesiologist. That night there will be a healing priest at the Carmelite Monastery and I am going to go. Sally and my friend Kim and her husband are having their first baby Thursday morning and we are going to try to visit them as well. Which always leads into trouble when Sally has a brand new baby in her arms. I know she is going to say she wants another one. Lately, Kaity's eyes have been lighting up when she sees a baby. Today at church there was a baby she kept looking at. After mass we went to see the baby. When we were walking to the car Zachary asked Sally if we could trade Kaity for the baby. Friday I have an appointment with the dermatologist. Saturday is Zachary's last soccer game for the season. I am planning on taking Sally out that night for our 11th year wedding anniversary since I will be in the hospital for it. I am sure I am leaving some things out.

Michael wants a ride to his girl friend's Carlee's house so I must wrap this up. Thanks for reading my blog. There are some days when the blog helps make my day a little easier and a lot brighter. God Bless.

P.S before Dan has the chance to gloat the Sox won 7-4. Looks like the Cubs won't be as lucky tonight.

Those stubborn stains and Happy Birthday Bekka




Today, Zach had his soccer game. I went by myself cause Kaity was a little crabby and we wanted to make sure she got a nap in before we went to Bekka who is my niece and God daughter's birthday party this afternoon. Zach's soccer team is doing really well this season. Today they won 3-2 even though we aren't suppose to keep score but, we all do anyway.

The birthday party was a smash hit. There was a bouncy with
a ball pit and slide that Kaity didn't want to get out of. There was also 2- 4 wheelers for our riding pleasure. I got on one time with Michael. It was a lot of fun . The only thing was my fragile butt hurt when I got off.Michael needs driving lessons from Noah( my 8 year old nephew/God son),because he drove through rose bushes and put a leak in one of the tires and when he was driving me I got smacked in the face with a branch. Bekka was happy with all the toys she received. All the different things she got, I was a little jealous. Not because I wanted girl toys but because of the technology that went in to make these toys. When I was little my toys I got were made out of wood or iron.(no batteries needed)

I have to give it to my sister in law, Sandy, for the Uri Gellar of family mind control. When the food was being placed on the table getting ready for our consumption, she bribed Noah to make her a plate of pasta before we were all able to dig in. Sandy knew we were waiting on the hot dogs and hamburgers before we ate. She had
her little nephew sneak her the food because she didn't want to get in trouble, instead risking Noah. No wonder why I am Noah's God parent and not her, I would never jeopardize Noah for myself. Unless there is chocolate cake involved then maybe I would consider. Than later, Sandy was telling her daughter Nicole to get out of a rocking chair , when there was perfectly good other chairs that she could have sat in. Nicole would not vacate the chair so what did she do? I will tell you what she did. She had the nerve to ask me the man who is dying of cancer to give up his rocker for her. I was stunned but I am use to being the gentlemen so I got up and sat on the hard concrete with my fragile aching butt while she rocked comfortable. You should have seen the glares she was getting. She even had the nerve to ask Nicole if she felt guilty when it was her who took my chair away.

With this incident it lead into a conversation with my newest nephew Joseph. He will be only married in to the family a week from tomorrow. My brother in law Tom and I have tried to warn him previously but like us he will have to find out the hard way. I saw today he is finding out quickly. Those Cummins girls I will tell you look gentle and harmless. Their looks are very deceiving. They are quiet and meek but once they wheel you in it's an entire different scenario. Sort of like going to sleep with Bella the Beauty and waking up with the Beast. They have a way about them. For example they ask you a question but you really can't give them the answer you want, you have to give them the answer they want. They have a way twist
ing things around making their ideas into your ideas. Let me tell you they are never wrong (unless you are Mrs. Wong) even Mrs. Wong is never wong she may be mistaken but never never wong. Did I mention stubborn? That's an understatement. Those stubborn stains are nothing compared to them ( Sorry, Jacqueline I couldn't help myself. This is it for a wong time. Sorry again couldn't help myself again).

I must redeem myself before the Cummins's gals attack me and vicious they can be.
Those women know how to cook. They can win a man's heart through his stomach. They can have a good time and don't mind if they embarrass themselves. Goofy was named after them. Sandy and my wife had a conversation today on how they both refuse to grow up. Life is to short not have fun. All 5 of them will go out of their ways to help other. I hope I redeemed myself. Remember Cummins's you have to be kind to the sick man.

Yesterday's blog I failed to mentioned my dinner menu. I have been married for almost 11 years. Sally usually cooks a meal every night and feels guilty
when she feeds us grilled cheese sandwiches or simple things like that. Lately she hasn't been feeling good and I suggested we just fend for ourselves last night. Then she and I came up with a dinner idea. It's a dinner we never had as a family. I have had it many times as a bachelor but never for a main course with my family. The dinner consisted of a banana split for Zachary, a strawberry shortcake for Sally, Kaity had a scoop of cherry flavored frozen yogurt and I had the delight of consuming a chocolate monkey. The kids didn't complain. I was happy to since there was no dishes to wash. I think that was one of my best meals I have ever had.

Tomorrow, is Michael graduation ceremony. We will be having a party for him probally at the end of July. Hopefully, before I return back to work. It's late and I am beat. Take care and God Bless.

Security has been breached

Today I did a lot. I went to the 9am daily mass at St. James afterwards I said all my daily prayers. Went and got blood work done for a lipid profile for my Doctors appointment that is on Monday. This appointment is routine and I need some scribs. Then I had to turn in my old uniforms to work cause they got new ones. Then I took Kaity to the park for about three hours. She will sleep very good today. I washed Sally's car also.

I had to yell at one of the kids down the street from us because he would come down to play and would hit, kick or pinch the other kids. This has been going on for the last two summers. I would just watch to make sure nothing bad was going on. He never seemed to do much in front of me except this one time I saw him swing a tree branch at Zach. As soon as I walked out side he ran away. Yesterday he hit Zach and Zach told his Dad and his Dad ignored Zach. I know this to be true cause the other kids collaborated Zachs story without Zachs influence. Now today again Zach told me that this boy hit him. So I went out to have a chat with him. I go to the back and there is Zach and Tyler ( the neighbor girl) on top of this boy. I said " What is going on! The Mr. Freeze gang said that this boy was pinching Tanner.(the neighbor boy)(I will not mention the perpetrators name)I told him that he needed to go home and not to come back if he feels he needs to be violent. He went home and told his posse. Now is whole family his outside just watching. This is strange cause this boy is only about 5 and they never seemed to care about what he was doing before. They would stay in the house while this kid roamed the neighborhood and crossed the street at will. He was still riding his bike near us and going in our driveway. That is OK as long as he didn't do anything dumb. The whole time I was being watched. So I would stare back and wave at them. I have to problem with this boy coming down to play. He just needs to keep his aggressiveness at home.

I was playing with the other kids tag. I was running around and having some fun. It really felt good , and I needed it. This was going on for a while until Taylor uttered the phrase NA NA DA BOO BOO. I was what did you say and she said it again. Then all the kids were saying it in unison. I know that its not NA NA DA POO POO. They obviously changed the code because I found out what they were up to. I was terrified so I ran in the house for a few minutes to recoup. The whole time my wife and Neighbor were outside and in danger of getting kicked in the shins. I had to think of something quick. So I went out and said NA NA DA BOO BOO back but, only louder than they did. They all looked at each other and by the look in there faces I could still they were baffled.I knew then I had them wear I wanted them. I don't know exactly were that was, but as long as they thought It , I was happy. I don't think I will be having anymore trouble from this ruthless gang any longer. Unless they change there code again, but I am a pretty smart cookie.You can't pull the wool over my eyes for very long.

Thank you all and God Bless.

Warning please read last Paragraph!

OK, The survey on whether or not Sally gets the Colonoscopy is over. Now here is my take on it. I believe that if a family with kids is involved the choice would be obviously yes, for the kids. If she was single or it was just her and I than I can see it being just her choice if there was no major issue that the Doctor could see. I think when you have kids its a whole new decision process. As a parent you should ALWAYS do what is best for the kids.(Unlike Helen from biggest loser who had her Daughter leave instead of her.That was selfish in my opinion. You always want whats best for the kids. Losing weight is definitely a health issue) There really is no wrong or right, just what you believe is the best choice for the family. Sally was told that the Doctor believed that it was stress related but, is there anyway to tell for sure without the proper testing being done , especially after what I am going through. So those of you that said that its Sally's choice is wrong. Its my blog and I am always right.

I got the call from the nurse of the Doctor that will be doing my surgery. The date will be June 10th I don't have a exact time yet but will tell you as soon as I find out. I have to go back to UIC for another appointment.Today I saw the Doctor about the nodule on the thyroid. He ordered blood work. I go back July 2nd and they will perform a biopsy at the office. I also saw the Onocologist today. I was told I will have to have 12 more chemo sessions instead of 6. Since, I am young they are trying to treat my cancer as aggressive as they can. He said that he sent 6 other patients to UIC for liver surgery. I asked him if they were still walking around. He just smiled a little and didn't answer my question. I thought great I will be thinking about this until after the surgery. He said the chemo is working and it might get rid of the cancer and then again it might not. Because of my age, they felt it's best to do the surgery and then they will know for sure the cancer is gone. There is the possibility it is growing in new locations and that is the reason for the 12 chemo sessions. So this is were we stand now,and I will keep the info going as I hear it.

I am going to tell something I did that embarrassed me. I picked up Zachary from school the other day. I will sit in my car until the kids start coming out. When he gets to the fence separating the playground from the parking lot, I will call him over. So I am sitting in my car waiting for Zach and out comes this little boy. I didn't take Zach to school this day so I didn't know what he wore. So this boy who was chunky just like my little boy comes running out of the school. This kid who came running out was fast, I thought that Zach got faster. He will inherit the speedy title if he keeps this up. I was already thinking to myself Speedy Zach. The warm feeling I was having inside. As this child came closer I was waving my hands wildly. I was going nuts trying to get his attention. Finally I see this boy slowing down and looking at me. I was able to see his face better it wasn't Zach. By the look on this child's face it said" What the heck is your problem mister", MMMMMMOOOOOMMMY . Then I know I had to turn into Speedy Bill to get out of there before the police got there. Thank goodness Zach was on his way out. I told him to hurry up we have to go. Now when I pick up Zach I have to wear a disguise now.

I want to give all the adults out there a warning. Zach would always say NA NA DA POO POO when he would be playing with his friends. I would always tell him to quit saying that. I would still hear him say it on occasion. Now in other public places I am hearing other kids say it that don't even know Zach. So what I am going to tell you might shock you , I think Its a secrete code. I think it may mean that they are going to kick you in the shin. I think this because , I saw one of them say the code phrase and then kicked what I believe was his brother in the shin. So next time you are going to be around some kids in lets say kindergarten through 2nd grade may want to have shin guards on. So remember this saying NA NA DA POO POO. Thanks for visting the blog and God Bless you all

The Doctors

I felt like I didn't want to do anything but sit outside and check out the view. I still have a slight headache but , feeling a little better than A few days ago. Basically a boring day to say the least.

Tomorrow I have two appointments in the afternoon. The first one is for the thyroid specialist at 2:45 and then Sally and I will shoot to the Hammond Clinic to see my Oncologist Dr. Mboama. Yes, that is how you spell his name.( its pronounced Bowma). Both appointments are fairly important. The Thyroid appointment will be if Dr. Adlard may want to remove the goiters in my thyroid. For now its only a consultation. With Dr. Mboama it will be about the surgery and what I will need to do or not to do or when to do it or when not to do it or if maybe when I should do it and when I shouldn't do it or do it if I don't feeling like doing it or do it only if I feel like doing it or even think about doing it and not doing it. That is what I will get from Dr. Mboama. He is a very good Doctor and has been very honest with us. I well tell everyone what happened in tomorrows blog. I had my chat with Dr. Warso's nurse about the Liver surgery. She said that Dr. Warso wanted to talk to Dr.Mboama first before it is set up. I hope that doesn't mean there may be a problem. I really want to get this done and over with.

I have a question to any postal worker( maybe my sister in law Leann or maybe my wife who was a carrier for about three months )that may be able to answer my question and anyone that may know already. If there was mail that was going to be sent to somewhere and you have on address but the place is totally different than what is on the envelope. Its like this , if you were delivering something lets say to credit card place and you were actually at International House Of PanCAKES. Knowing its a bill but it went to the PanCAKE joint, what is the protocol. I was just wondering. Knowing the rule I think will make me a more complete person if not smarter.

I am going to close out now.Sally and I want to watch a movie and check out the news. I want to see the sports cause Zambrano was ejected from today's game. I heard he got ejected when the ump. actually turned into Zambrano. I want to see who fault it was. Big Z will now get a suspension something that may not be his fault. Take care and God Bless you all.

Cubs won 5-2 two game winning streak going. Sox playing at 9 tonight.

God Bless and take care. Good night.

I really need to stop thinking

last night I had a problem with myself. Sally set up the slide show and I was looking at all the pictures that she put in the slide show. I was just staring at all the pictures and was thinking about the surgery. After I was done Sally and I exchanged our pleasantries and went to bed.( I tried too) I was laying there for awhile and then I just started to ball my eyes out. Sally made a comment" What are you doing having a seizure ( Sally and I sometimes will goof around before we actually fall asleep. She really didn't know what was going on). I lost it so bad that I was shaking the bed. She thought maybe I was laughing. As much as I tried to stop it just got worse. I got up and went in the living room to try and calm down. It was probably one of the hardest things for me to do. After looking at those pictures and not certain of my future it was hell. Sally came in the room and was trying to console me. That didn't help then I started to think about her.Sally is a great mother and wife and I'm thinking what have I done. Her life as well as mine has changed forever. She has been at my side and the kids through thick and thin and I hope they will someday realize that. I know I'm not the easiest person to live with, so that makes her all the more wonderful to be by my side during this time. She sat with me and we talked about the surgery and about all of the wonderful support that I am getting from all of you. That still didn't help, I started up again. No matter how I tried I couldn't let up. After a while, we finally made it back to sleep. It makes me uncomfortable telling all of you this. I just feel that this blog is about what I am going through and possibly other cancer patients, It's not all fun and games. I try very hard for the kids not to see me weak. So I am glad it happened when they were all asleep. One time I was on the couch and having a moment. Zachary saw me and ran and told Sally that Daddy was crying. I had to come up with an answer why I was crying. I told him that the show I was watching made me sad. I was watching Deal or no Deal. I guess the contestant on the show must have lost a lot of money and I felt bad for them.

I really don't feel much like writing to much today. The sun is out and I hope that gets me out of this rut I am in right now. So please bare with me. I will be back feeling better tomorrow, I hope. I also called to set up the surgery date. I left a message and waiting on a call back.

Sally came back from the Doctor and she did get a appointment with the Gastric Doctor for July 1st. I guess our family Doctor feels its stress related. I don't know what he means by that, everything is A-OK here.

I am going to stop here. Its really been a emotional few days for me. I am going to play with Zach and Kaity for awhile. Thank you and God Bless.
