I awoke this morning with the intention of adressing an email written to me by Shannon and adressing my brother Clark, he often writes of me and to me on his own Blog. My brother first, he calls my cancer the elephant in the room that he attempts to ignore. if he has the elephant in the room that is my cancer then he most certainly has the baby version. The jumbo version resides at my home and most often climbs in my lap, not allowing any ingorance of it's presence. I am enjoying very much Clark's heightened envolvement in my life he and I have planned things down the road and I look forward to all of it. Clark says he started his Blog because of my cancer and has increased his involvement with me also because of my cancer, whatever the case I say keep it up. he also claims he is the better looking brother, that is subjective but intelligence is not and I will claim to be the more intelligent brother. Intentions aside this morning I received a call from the office of my primary Doc and he told me to come in immediately, he is attempting to gain control of my surging blood sugar. My friend Jim was kind enough to take me up so maybe one little fire is about to be put out. Back to Shannon, whom I have refered to as our Love child, she didnt understand how a certain med could affect my blood sugar. I dont understand how it does either but this particular steroid does and it is also very effective on the swelling. So I need to have it and just deal with the sugar levels. She also made a remark about how I missed grape juice, I wasnt kidding it is a major bummer that I cannot consume Grape juice. I think she believes me because when she was here awhile back I hooked her on it.......SIGH. Shannon, I adore you and when I finish this round of Chemo and go on a break, we shall party.

Always with Love,
Tony.
