Dash For Donation

Denise, Leslie, Mom, Mike and Michele volunteered at a water station on the half marathon path. It was way busier than they anticipated! They had a good time doing it. They wish they could have seen the rest of the group...hopefully next year.

I had several friends run in race. All finished well. Almost everyone beat me except Connor, and dude can't even crawl all that good yet! ha. It was a really hot and very hilly run. I was out there doing it so I am happy with the results.

I had a cat scan done on lil' Ryan. I will know more later but don't expect anything bad. I had to drink that barium drink. BLAAAAAAAAAAA. I chugged 2 jugs like a champ! The worst part was the IV. I don't miss those at all. Though when I usually had them in I would be all morphined up!!!!

Barium update. Last night at tennis my I had "stomach" pains. My stomach hurt to bad I thought it was going to explode. I got home and just made it to the throne. It must have been that barium stuff. God I had to hold on for my life!!!! I know TMI and very gross!! Just a warning to those that don't know. Now ya know!

Cabin Party & Dr updates

We went up to Dave's parents cabin. Check his site for the pics. It was a blast. Go to www.thelusks.com for pics.


I had my appointment with Dr. Davies. It went well. She was happy with my weight and health. She was happy that I have dropped a good amount of weight and was exercising on a regular basis. My hemoglobin is still not normal for a male. It will probably stay this way. Doc said that it is actually about what a women's level would be. She said that some studies show that this is a contributing factor to why women have a lower rate of heart disease. The blood is actually not as thick so there is less work the heart has to do. She also said that she is really not to worried about the cancer and I will just get my cat scanned every 6 months for 3 years, then 1 once a year forever.

I hope this is enough for cheryl to read. Lord knows I don't want to piss her off.

Steve you lucky BASTARD!!!!!!

Steve, my buddy at work got near Kelsey Webb from WNCI. What a lucky bastard. She was at the Jim Tressel book signing. Steve called me and told me she was there so I rolled up there to say hi.

It's been 6 months already!

Life sure has changed. Headed to the doc this afternoon for a regular check up.

Transplant Games

We will post an update and pictures, but I just wanted to say Neal did a great job. Tomorrow is 6 months from the transplant and if a stranger saw him they would never guess. He shaved about 10 minutes off of his last 5k time, which is unheard of. On the way home, Neal was the only one that did not need a nap. Things sure have changed.
