I am not sure exactly why, but it seems that today I have received quite a few messages from family, friends and colleagues telling me that they have been praying for me or attending church.

Monday night is when we shop at Costco and we saw a couple of parents from our hockey team there last night. It is one of the only nights during the week that we do not have any hockey so it works out well. After walking throughout Costco, it makes me a bit tired, so…
I am gaining weight, and it is not a good thing because the increase in weight is a bit too fast. I have gained I think 3 lbs since my last weigh in and I am concerned about that because rapid weight increase may be due to increased ascites fluid. Mel wanted me to contact…
