Whoa!

Hello my loyal minions,

Things have been pretty crazy around the ol HQ. Thursday was my last day at work in Madison until I beat this thing. That was interesting. I think I tied up my loose ends but who really know. Friday I went to the Brewers game where Burton Anderson took some cutomers and employees of CB&K. The seats were amazing and the Brewers kicked the living hell out of the Pirates. Of course Nate had a pretty good one. Hanging on the wall was a jersey and on the back it said "We Energies" So he asks my dad who Weenergies is? Obviously that one didn't stay quiet very long in that room. I am seriously glad they allowed me to tag along it was a ton of fun especially after a win. They eventually swept them and landed last years AL Cy Young winner CC Sabathia in trade with the Indians. They seem poised to make a run at the bullshit Cubs and the division title. The rotation is going to be awesome now. Sabathia, Sheets, Parra, and Yovanni at the end of the season. Please tell me a stronger starting line up in the entire league. It is fun to finally be excitied about this team Now we have to figure out where we are coming up with $800 for each seat for the playoffs. Saturday was fun and chill. I pretty much laid around in my boxers all day and watched Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia.....again. There was also a small cook out at my grandmas and that was entertaining as I threw some one liners out there during the entire dinner. Sunday, I went down to Summerfest and saw 311. They were great and played a wonderful mix of old stuff and a few new ones. If those of you out there around my age don't know who 311 is I feel sorry for you and please get out from under you're rock. Go to cdnow.com and look up their album Sound System and sample the tunes. I love that album. They radiate positivity and unity. Something the World really lacks.




For some odd reason though the pain in my shoulder was also rediculously terrible. I ust don't understand how it gets really bad in the evening/at night and is just fine during the day for the most part. I am running out of pain pills too and hopefully I get better stuff tomorrow because I am going to make sure he knows I need stronger. When I look back on things I think I might have been overly agressive with Dr.Hegeman but then again I have him running scared and he is getting me answers a hell of a lot faster. Maybe it worked then huh?




Tomorrow, I am going in for a round of chemo and that should be about an hour out of my day and then a meeting with Dr.Hegeman for a check on how things are. I have no idea when I have to go in there but I'll call in the morning. Then my buddy Noah and I are heading to Milwaukee to see Sabathia pitch his first game in a Brewers jersey. Yeah, I know what you guys are thinking but yeah that is how excited I am that they pulled the trigger on this trade. It's always good to hang out with your friends to especially with all of the shit that is going on. I suppose people also are curious how things are going and if there is any progress. At the moment I know nothing else besides I still have pain in my chest and left shoulder area. Things really wont be known for about another 3 or 4 weeks. Unless the University of Minnesota decides to actually do a PET scan. I am terrified to do one because I really don't want to know how bad it is. I meet with Dr.Skubitz Thursday and then I dont know when they are planning on getting me in for scans and tests. If everyone really wants to know my opinion I am fairly sure that drastic surgery will be the main cure for this damn thing. Of course I am game for it. Wouldn't you be? What other options does one have? I think fight and fight some more is the answer. I still am eating healthier and drinking green teas and mangosteen juice.




Thursday night I might play softball with Kristi's familys team if I feel good. I hope I am! I am pumped to get back out to first base for a bit atleast. Then Friday night is the Rock Cancer Out in Eau Claire. I am so excited to get this one of the ground in my hometown. It sounds like there are going to be quite a few people coming out to the show. I hope they bring their friends with. Then I head back to Minneapolis for the Next Rock Cancer Out show there. We have a killer line up there as well. Seconds Before is headlining GLUV and Thomas Built a Wall are opening up the gig. Three great bands on that one as well. It is good to know I still have the touch.
