Happy Thanksgiving to all.

As we left my journey it was Monday night and I was still in quite a bit of pain, full dose of pain killers, last dose at 11pm.  What was happening- they don't quite last the 6 hours so I expected I would be up in bed at 4am- with something in my body angry at me, having to watch Andy Griffith to kill time to take more medicine.  I have no idea what happened, I know people are praying for me, but I woke up at 7am- and I was fine.  I got up out of bed- walked pretty normal- and that part of my latest crisis was over.  Very weird.  2 days, unable to do much and some happy bunnies saw me in the middle of the night and fixed me.  Whatever it was, I will take it.

Saw the doc on Tue, and I am now again being treated for the prostate cancer.  I have one more thing to refine, to get my calcium up.  And then I can add the bone strengthening  drug again.  That should be easy.  Long day yesterday- doc at 10:15- chemo 3pm- out at 6pm.  Then poor me, I had to go to Ditka's for dinner, with my brother and sister in law- wonderful time.  Great food. 

Day after chemo I feel fine.  I have to be grateful about that one.  Hopefully that will continue. 

Last unrelated comment.  To those venturing out on Black Friday for anything, I have to relay my experience at Wal-Mart last year. 

They were advertising a 30 inch TV for $98- guaranteed in stock for an hour.  It was from 6-7, so of course I left at 6:15.  Who wants to fight the crowds when the store opens.  I did have to park a long way- but who cares.  As I waked up there was a fire truck, 2 police cars, and an ambulance.  I just had to laugh- Happy Holidays.  I walked in the store- found the person with the coupons to buy the TV- went to the register- and I was out by 7pm.  The only catch is that you register on line for home delivery- (free), and it came 2 weeks later.  So now they are advertising a 50 inch for 225- in college I heard bigger is better, so I guess its off to Wal-Mart one more time.  I wonder how many ambulances they will have on guard this time. 

Happy Thanksgiving.
