Lots going on.

Lets start out with Thursday night. I went to Eau Claire for the evening and met up with some friends of mine and went down to Water Street naturally and shot some darts, played Cruisin' USA, and drank some 50 cent tappers. Rough night huh? In the morning my friends Andy, Noah, and I made our journey to Madison so I could drop of a case of Pigs Eye beer for the guys at work to slam. I pretty much informed people of what was going on and shot the shit with them. It was good to see everyone for a moment. From there we headed to Milwaukee for the Brewers game. It was autograph night so we decided we were going to try to get someone/anyone. While we waited in line I slammed two and a half warm beers and decided that was it for drinking that evening. So once we were inside Andy and Noah ran like hell and wound up getting Corey Harts and I walked and got the solid lefty Brian Shouse which I am happy with. I actually was 5th in line for Shouse and when I got up to him I told him that I slammed two warm beers outside waiting to get in for his autograph and he laughed. I also addressed him like this, "Hey, Shousy!!!!" hahahaha. The game was boring as hell though but many good pictures were taken so those will be posted eventually. Saturday was a blast my Grandpa and Uncle Tom came with to the game and that is always and adventure with those two. My grandpa is full of one liners and my Uncle Tom is just plain funny. My old man went and sat with my grandpa up in some kick ass seats right next to the press box and my Uncle Tom sat with us in the bleachers listening to Uecker....it was hilarious. The game was boring as all hell because the offense was sputtering along until Ryan (MVP) Braun hit a two run shot to right center field and then the entire place erupted with chants of M V P and bring on the cubs. It was unbelievable! I finally could say first place Milwaukee Brewers! Obviously that didn't last but damn it I was able to finally say for once in my life and be proud of the team I never bailed on. Miller Park was insane after the game. Just total joy in the entire building. It was a playoff atmosphere for sure and I can't wait until Sept. when I try to buy my tickets. Then after the game on Saturday I went back to Madison and has some fine drinks at Luckys with the fellas. Sunday was move out day and that went pretty damn fast since there was six other there giving us a hand moving stuff to the truck and I thank everyone who helped out even though I never asked for it. Those are some good friends for sure. It was a moment when I finally realized I had left the W house. All of the memories I did retain and those I was told about the next day. I will for sure be back for the first Badgers home game against the Akron Zips. I got to keep the tradtion alive and well. Plus I don't want to see the shitty Gophers football team.
On to todays events. I went to the gym and blew off some steam by biking for 50 minutes then went back later this evening with Chris and played raquetball. I had a doctors appointment that I missed this morning but it was for a genral doctor so whatever but I did go and get the PET/CT scan done today. I was terrified to go in there. I am so scared to get the news back on Thursday when I see my quack for a oncologist. Nothing has been good news so I think I am pretty prepared to hear that it has spread to my lungs. It would be nice for him to come back and say that it hasnt spread anywhere other than my spleen and chest. Either way I am seriously terrified to know what I am up against. It isn't going to stop me from beating this thing but knowing how the process goes after they know is the scary part. They will either write you off or try to work with you. So we will see. This whole experience is pretty mind boggling and horrifying to myself. I haven't I catch myself think about the negative sides all of the time now but I know that if I keep plugging away and find the right help things can and will improve. Nothing is impossible. I am a walking talking sign of hope for people out there and I know it. I hear it from family and friends. That is an amazing thing and I am not about to let anyone down at all.
My folks are supposed to be coming up here on Friday so they can check things out and know I am taking care of business and adding a little pleasure in as well. That should be a fun time. I might go to the Warped Tour on Sunday though. I want to see Pennywise, All That Remains, Protest The Hero, and Reel Big Fish. We will see what happens there. Other than that my buddy Noah and I are going to The Varsity Theatre here in Dinkytown to see the UK pop act The Ting Tings. We heard them on the radio in Milwaukee and loved them. Other than that I finally get to jump on that new chemo on Thursday so I can only hope this works out a million time faster and more effective even though it seemed like the last one was working. I am pretty scared to do it thought I can't lie. I just don't think this Dr.Skubitz is even giving me a fair shake. I should hear back from Dr.Leach tomorrow about what he thinks. I might switch to him if he thinks he can treat it better. I atleast know he is going to give me an honest straight forward opinion.
