Sitting here watching my new favorite golfer Erik Compton. Found out about him in a story on HBO Real Sports. He's a double heart transplant recipient and he's out on the PGA tour. I've been needing those kinds of stories lately. Things have been getting a little tougher overall. Been having trouble sleeping, which is probably the reason I'm up at 2 am writing a blog! It's also been getting harder and harder to control the water weight. I think I'm getting closer to getting the PICC line IV and the stronger drugs. The upside to that is at least I'd move up in status on the list. But the obvious downside is running around with an IV in my arm all the damn time. Fun fun.
It's just generally been harder for me to not let my natural tendency to sink into my little woe-is-me-slumpiness. That's why it's nice to see stuff about people like Erick, who are on the other side of it and doing well. To use a wellworn cliche, I'm pretty damn tired of being so damn sick and tired. Seems like laying around in bed watching TV all the time would be GREAT! But I am rapidly approaching my fill.
One thing that is taking my time is planning the benefit. It's Oct 9 and we are getting some great ideas together. It's going to be a great day and hopefully we'll be able to raise some good money from it. I'll blog all the details when everything is nailed down and I'll let ya'll know how to get tickets.
Alright. Big love to all. Think I may go see if I can actually sleep. Until next time America....
