... God provides for and protects my family. -- When I first was diagnosed with Lymphoma all I could think about was that God could not allow me to die because my wife and children needed me. I was the provider... I was the protector. It took me a few days for the Lord to impress upon me that... He is the provider... He is the protector... of me and my family. He uses me in that way, but they would be provided for even if I weren't around. But... I would like to stay around.
... Going from 330 lbs down to 250 lbs is a good thing, not a bad thing. -- I just wouldn't recommend cancer as a weight loss program.
... Thin folks have a whole different set of problems, including trying to cross your legs without any "padding" over your bones. -- Still not sure how is to be done without hurting.
... Never take your wife for granted. -- Realize she is a gift from God and your helpmate in this world and you would be lost without her.
... Tell your family that you love them every time you can.
... NEVER, EVER, pass up an opportunity to have a cone of vanilla soft serve ice cream. -- NOT ice milk or some low fat impostor version
... WhataBurger Fried Lemon pies make a trip to Tulsa worth it.
... Great Doctors are extremely important, and great nurses make your life easier.
... Compression hose and grippy socks make a fashion statement. -- Just not sure what that statement is.
... Never trust a hospital menu that says it is a five star dining experience.
... Random acts of kindness just seem more special when you can't do things for yourself.
... more later...
