OT: The Latest News On My Health

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Roo, you inspire us, and you have for a long time.

For as long as you breathe, you are a tribute to your Creator. Each time you cross my mind, I thank God for you.

I haven't updated this in a while because nothing much has changed. I have good days and bad. My working lung seems to be doing very well and I seldom have to use oxygen. Since medical science has not offered me any medicine to fight the cancer, I have to credit God for the improvement in my breathing. I can't walk very far now, my legs are weak. I sleep more than I ever have and more than I want to. I suffer from headaches, backaches, and the pain in my lungs. All of those things come and go. I have plenty of pain meds to fight it. I'm blind in my right eye and I'm on my way to be blind in my left eye. That makes book reading very difficult. I am still able to read my Bible because a few years ago I bought a Bible with huge print. The problem is, it weighs too much. I joke that I'm going to put wheels on my Bible. I believe with all my heart that God is overseeing all of this health stuff and he's kept me alive about two years longer than the Doctors thought I'd live. I know many other people with lung cancer are way worse than I am. With all my heart, I believe Jesus loves me and is helping me. When He thinks it's time for me to go to heaven, I'll be pleased to go, because that's when life really begins.

How are you doing recently? I'm sure you're joyed about the news concerning the team these last couple of months.

I believe God worked a miracle on the Chargers. All good things come from above, as it is written. The bible says to pray for people. Pray for enemies or those who you may not like. I believe something enlightened Dean and John Spanos. I'm giving credit to God, lord and savior Jesus Christ, for the good thing that has happened. Jim Harbaugh joining the Chargers and the most recent things that have transpired. I thought Jim Harbaugh returning to the team he last played a snap with could only make so much sense.

Roo.....you nailed it. During my prayers this morning I almost slipped in "and thank you for Jim Harbaugh", but I resisted. I pray for family, friends and health for many including you sir. It is a fine Thursday however, isn't it???

Thanks for the prayers.

It's the first hiring of a new HC that's made me happy since Marty left.

Esteban was the best.

I don’t recall those threads, but do you remember the “most interesting man in the world” commercials? I used to jokingly immitate those commercials while doing a morning walk with my wife and the daughter in law was pregnant with her first born. I would joke in a cheesy accent that his name will be Esteban and he will be the most interesting man in the world while I made up a litany of skills he would possess.

Well, he’s now 13, got a silky smooth golf swing, straight A’s, plays concert level classical piano, chess and rubic cube master, bilingual….and his middle name is Esteban.

He’s off to a good start on that “most interesting….” title.
