I WON $50,000 ON A SCRATCH OFF TICKET!!!

Well...not really, it was actually 5 bucks...but I did get your attention once again!

So the last post has pretty much brought everyone up to speed with all the fun stuff that has been happening around the Casa Martin.  From here on, each post should be simple and mostly cover those days’ events (if there is anything to post). And this post will be one of those...

The 4th of April is closing in and we still have bridges to cross.  Today it was off to the Dietician at the Memorial Cancer Resource Center.  It was a basic overview of what "could" happen during Chemo treatment and what foods would be beneficial to my well being.  Please search "No Sushi For Neil" on FaceBook...you will have a good laugh.  Basically, most of the wondrous foods that I so fondly love are to be forgotten.  And the items I can still eat must be fully cooked...I prefer my steak rare, not dried to the point where it resembles shoe leather!  Eggs...runny! Sushi...raw!  What the...?  They want to prevent me from losing weight...well this is not the way to do it!  And...and...I have been told that I might loose my sense of taste!  CANCER SUCKS!

Another path to be traveled is the one that leads to the Dentist office.  Unknown to us, any dental issues will interfere with my Chemo treatment.  This is just AWESOME as we only have a few days left before treatment starts and from what I have been already told, the dental repairs that I require will take longer than just a few days and that does not include healing time.  So tomorrow, I have two or three teeth that are scheduled to be extracted...AHHHHHHH! Seems like everyone gets a chance to take a SWING at Neil!  Best thing about this is that I can always purchase more teeth later on.  Maybe even gold ones...can you say "Flavor Flav"!

With all that is going to be happening over the next few days, it is obvious that I will not be back to work before the 4th.  So today, I said my "See ya later's" to everyone that I could and explained to them that I might be back in a couple of weeks or it could be 4 months.  We will just see how stubborn I am!

I need to give a WOOT WOOT out to Susan and Vicki...they are my Southern Moms!  Thank you for all your support.

Y'all come back now...
