Today, I went to the International Plaza, and I purchased an iPad; this model was released yesterday. It will enable me to blog and communicate more regularly (and it’s very cool). I continue to be able to eat well with the aid of a terrible-tasting, very expensive, but amazingly effective mouth rinse called Caphosol. I’ve also begun to apply daily a topical emulsion to my face called Biafine to help with the redness and soreness caused by the radiation treatments. Yesterday was day 10 of the 40-day program! We are twenty-five percent completed with chemotherapy, injections, and radiation. While at the mall, we had a great lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. At the Apple Store we meet a great Mac specialist named Steve Fidrych, who is pushing through his own physical challenges beautifully. I hope to speak with him again soon. My energy has been good today. Last week it was very low, which is very frustrating to me. Thankfully, my sons have allowed me to heal and recover from the treatments with great support. I love ’em!
Have a great evening and Sunday, friends!
Press on, Rich
I look forward to and (hope to) see you at work tomorrow! Miss you Boss!
You had great energy on Sunday Rich! It was a relief to see, and I had a wonderful time with you, Lisa and the kiddies; as always. See you again soon! Love you!
Kendall just told me about this man, Matt Chandler, who has brain cancer- he is a young father and pastor. He spoke at the Together For the Gospel Conference. This link is his speech and testimony there.
You may already be familiar with him and his ministry, but I thought of you when I listened to it.
