BasketVols are amazing. This was their best game in about 2 weeks. Admiral began to come out of his slump. Grant is a man among boys and Bone is playing his way into elite status. I’m trying to stay calm but I just can’t help it. I haven’t been this excited about a team since the 2nd run of the Jamaican bobsled team in 88.

Oh, think it's a great idea!
One of my concerns on the fund me stuff is how public they are. Absolutely can't let my company find out the severity of my condition.
And we've maintained a relatively normal life for our kids socially. They go to friends houses instead of vice versa but it's already such an awkward age, don't want to have other kids .. well anything. They've been through enough.
Kinda regretted posting their pics the other day, just don't want to make things any more different for them than necessary.

Understood, everyone deserves their privacy. I’m fortunate that I work for a very kind and compassionate boss, wished everyone had that opportunity.

I relied on my faith. Point blank. I'm not trying to get preachy here but, when people compliment me or my wife on how "strong" we were; we weren't. We were complete train wrecks.

Prayer, coffee, more prayer, even more coffee and every once and a while, sleep.

Hospitals suck. I didn't used to dislike them because I worked in one for many years. Now, I get anxious just thinking about them.

Get and accept help from people who are offering. I didn't eat for three days before my parents literally made me. It's not like I was doing it on purpose, I just wasn't focused on anything other than my little girl. I was focused on too many other things. I needed someone to show me "hey...you look like death on a cracker, maybe you need help..."

It's not weakness bro. It's generosity. Accept it from others and give it back when you can.

Have had a lot more thoughts about the deeper meaning of things lately. Not a fear or "fox hole" type thing, kinda the opposite. Seeing the devotion of so many here and what drives them, has triggered something. Thinking about getting into contact with Nick.
I've just always felt in the driver's seat of things and feel completely out of my element and lost ATM.

As far as help..
Never needed anything from anyone and was always the one trying to help. Not sure how to accept reversing my role or even how I would begin to ask or my feelings doing so.
You are helping more than you probably realize.

Already asked so many times and I apologize but a few extra thoughts and prayers.
Got my specialist surgery date and it's not until April. Even only eating a small meal every other day, enzyme meds not gonna come close to lasting that long.
Did something to my arm trying to assist someone else. Guessing my weakened state versus what I'm used to being able to do. The safety Dept . at work is already skeptical about my ability to to not be a risk to them, got to cover this up for sure. Insert Monty Python - flesh wound gif.

Don't know what the universe's grand plan for me is but from my sneak peek, giving it a very low score on rotten tomatoes dot com. 😂😂😂

But seriously, a few extra thoughts for something to break my way, if you guys don't mind. Tia.

Whether you ask for it or not, your in my thoughts and prayers throughout out each day.
