May 9
Well, Greg rang the bell on Tuesday! On Monday, Dr. C said he was immensely impressed with the shrinkage of the tumor and it will continue to skrink during the next 2 weeks! Yesterday, we both mostly slept all day. Today I'm packing & loading so we can head out in the morning for Ft. Worth and stay with Greg's mom. She is going on to Tuscola with us on Saturday. I'd like to be home by lunch on Saturday, but it just depends on how he feels on waking. They've warned us that these next 2-3 weeks aresomtimes the worst. I honestly wonder if part of it isn't depression. You've been in the cocoon of safety and then they send you home. AND I found out that we can't even get into Greg's doctor (because he's booked up and out of town for 2 weeks),so we are going home to no doctor! Oh well, the nurses and everyone here was so impressed with how well Greg did and that he only had 2 hydrations and NO hospitalizations, that I fell more confident about it than I did. Thank you so much for all the support! Greg probably won't go back to work this summer. We go back to the doctor on June 5, July 5, July 11, July 30. That's all we know so far.

Hi Greg,
Some idiot here at work proposed that we start a "wellness" group (and use our "Unit Fun" money that is supposed to be used for birthday parties for their activities). Here is my response.
All,
The inaugural meeting of the PRC Unwellness Club will be on 6/31/07, 12:00 at the Salt Lick in Driftwood.
Agenda:
o Eat barbecue
o Take a nap
o Eat more barbecue
o Take another nap
o Eat still more barbecue
o Go home
Remember to bring your cot or hammock!
Membership Requirements
1. Must be able to eat a large pizza (by yourself) in 30 minutes.
2. Must have been kicked out of at least one “All-You-Can-Eat” eatery (or asked to not return).
3. Must be able to quote at least three of Randy’s Rules of Eating.
Randy’s Rules of Eating
1. Hunger has nothing to do with eating.
2. Being full is no reason to stop eating.
3. Eating is a contest - whoever eats the most wins!
4. There are few foods in the world that cannot be improved with white gravy.
5. There are few foods in the world that cannot be improved with deep-frying.
6. Life is short - eat desert first and last!
7. If you don’t start thinking about the next meal immediately after you’ve finished a meal - something is drastically wrong.
8. “Healthy” and “Eating” should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
9. If diets are so good for you then why is "die" part of their name?"
10. The phrase “No thank you” should never be said around the dinner table.
11. Don’t give me any thing important to do an hour before or an hour after a meal (an hour before all I can think about is eating; an hour after all I am capable of doing is digesting).
12. Pizza Hut, CiCi’s, Mr. Gattis, Golden Corral, Furrs, Ryan’s, and most Chinese food restaurants are the real Seven Wonders of the World.
I hope to see you there!
Randy
Glad to hear good news! Lots of hugs and prayers to you guys! Keep hanging in there.
