Well I’m just getting home from a short stay in the hospital. I went in Thurs the 23rd after feeling out of sorts. The doctors think my discontinuing the sterroid I was taking during chemo may have thrown my body out of whack. I was weak and was getting chills and hot flashes. So they admitted me so I could stablize. I feel much better now. They started me back on he sterriods and will slowlly taper me off over the next ten days or so.

Thanks to all of you who called and looked after the family while I was away. The support is great. God love ya’ll.

It was hard to get rest because my roomate snorned up a storm. He was a nice guy though. I really didn’t get much sleep at all. I plan to make up for it tonight. I hope to use this point in time as a jumping off to kick start my motivation for music. It’s past due to ge into some tunes. Pray with me

God bless,

Frederick

Tues night 9 o’clock and all is well. Had a pretty good day. Diana found me something else to read by a cancer survivor, I don’t know his name. The title of the book is Anti Cancer. It started out pretty good talking about research and ways to get the best out tratment, better quality of life. I think it might be pretty good.

I walked the mall this morning and then sat at Renton airport to watch the airplanes. A lot of little sigle engine planes take off and land there.

I wish I could drive so I could get out and about. In time, in time. I saw one of my doctors yesterday and he says I need to just get about living my life and quit waiting for something to happen. My MRI’s aren’t showing a negitive change so things aren’t geting worse. So I need to get along with making the best of things. Sometimes that’s hard but most of the time I have realy good days, so it’s not too hard love life. I’m really blessed.

Stay tuned

It’s early in the morning, 8 am. Just getting started in my day. I’ve got a doctor’s appt and physical therapy today. That’ll take up my whole day.

Had a quite weekend, didn’t feel good yesterday so I stayed home from church resting. I feel better now, felt better yesterday evening really. Diana was in church all day and night. We had a celebration with our sister church Rainier Ave Methedist. That went into the evening. Our praise teams sang togehter. I wanted to be included but maybe next time.

I want to know what my doc has to say about my last MRI. There hasn’t been much change in months. I’m not sure what they may want to do next. There is talk of another surgery, perhaps with radiation. The Cyberknife or Gamaknife, both are radiation. I’m not sure what the conditions will have to be to under go either procedure.

I think the rain is back to stay. I don’t want to get out in it today but don’t have much choice. I’ll get into my swim wear and be prepared for the wetest.

Stay dry, God bless

Have I been putting a Sept date on my enteries? :) Oh well, I mean well. Today was a great day. My mom came over to visit and walked South Center mall with me. We had a real good visit.

I got a call from my sister Gwen who is traveling in Maine right now so she can eat plenty of seafood and watch the seasons change. She’s vacationing doing something she’s wanted to do for a longtime.

I rehearsed with the praise team tonight. That was fun. Learned a new song by Johnathon Butler. A lot of rock guitar in the tune. I don’t play a lot of rock so it’s fun. There are some young people in church that need to get involved with a tune like this. One more thing to pray for.

I’ve got physical therapy tomorrow and feel pretty good, strong. I feel like I get one or two good nights of rest a week. I need to figure out how to get more rest. I go to bed early enough, but seldom lay down to sleep before midnight. Maybe it’s what I’m reading before lights out? Sometimes I watch a movie before I try to go to sleep. Maybe I need to knock that off

Have blessed weekend

Rain or not to rain. Just in case I did my walk inside the South Center mall today. Felt pretty good after taking last week off due to a cold. I feel much better now. Still a little bit of a cough but a lot better.

Went to church yesterday, didn’t play with the praise team though. Service was good, a lot of prayer for those in need. Pastor’s sermon was “Decision ‘08″ decide if you’re going to serve God or not. e\We should seek knowlege through He’s word.

I did an MRI last week but won’t know what it looks like until the 20th when I see one of my doctors. I’m praying that the tumor is gone. That’s not too much to believe God for. He can do what he wants. I’m trying to get my mind around living good in spite of my situation. I have to be realistic but there is more I can do as far as my attitude and outlook. I’m still trying to get motivated to do more in my music. It’s coming , but slowly. I probably need to excerise more with other msicians. That would be inspiring. Maybe doing some events, like musicials and the like. Something will come around soon either at church or with the old Lo de Bar band.

Let’s keep praying for one another,

In Christ Jesus,

It’s been a few days, but all is well. I had an MRI this moring and I’ll do a follow-up with one of my doctores re: the MRI on Oct 20th. I’m feeling pretty good now a days, spirits are good too. I didn’t feel good this past Sunday, fighting a cold and sore throat, so I stayed home from church. So I didn’t get to play guitar. I might play next Sunday.

Deb Christian I misplaced your phone number, please give me a call ASAP. Looks like Per and I are teaming up so I can make some of Eastsides home basketball games. That’ll be fun to watch them play. I hope they’ll have a good team and season this year. I also plan on attenteding the Women at the Well luncheon on Nov 4th so I can spend time with the women and the kids.

I visited Jubillee Reach a week ago that was fun. They’re doing so much now in the community, I hope to volunteer in the recording studio soon. Start to get some music on CD and do some recitals.

My own music is coming along slowly but it’s coming. Creativity is strange at times, sometimes it’s hot and sometimes it’s not. But I’m encouraged. I wish I knew how to play the piano. I get away with it some in the studio by recording in steps, but it sounds elementory.

I went to the movies over the weekend and and saw the western Apoloosa. It was pretty good not too much shoot em up. Kinda funny too.

Well be blessed until I post again.

Blessings,

Frederick

Where did the month of Sept go? How is everyone doing? I had a pretty productive week. Physical therapy and doctors appointments. X-rays of my chest came back good, no problems. My blood work came back great, just the right consistancy 2.6. That’s my INR reading.

My head has been full of music. I’ll keep trying to get it out on the guitar this weekend. The Lord has been clearing up rough edges in my life lately prayer and fasting has freed me up. My wife is real supportive in that way too. Diana is a real God send, so faithful to the Lord and her family.

My little Ericka isn’t so little anymore. She’s a teenager now all of 13 years old. Where are all the years going? She’s doing well in classes studying hard. Diana’s good with the whole homework and studies thang too.

My physical therapy is starting to feel like I’m in training for football or basketball camp. I’m sore in my joints and muscles. Feels good though. I feel like I’m getting stronger in my body though I still have a little trouble with balance still.

Who moved my cheese?

Stay blessed

In Christ Jesus
