We can start with the good news. My leg bypass was a great success and am recovering great from it. I can get my leg a little straighter and Kristyn, mother, PT lady, and myself are working to get my leg straight. I am hoping that by middle end of may I should be walking with a limp which I can't tell you how much of an accomplishment that will be. Just being able to walk will make me an easier problem for everyone to deal with.
Now on to the news that some know but not all. My tumors have moved to my brain. Yeah I know I don't have much up there to start with but the dear old cancer thing has decided to go upstairs and now I have to deal with that. The way we are going about that is called full brain radiation. I have 14 tumors so this method should kill all the cancer in my brain. I am going to U of M hospital to see what clinical trails I can maybe try to better my chances at this game of life. Sorry it too long to update this but as you can tell I been dealing with some things that are bigger than me. Love you all.
