A couple of things

There were a couple other things i wanted to share before i start my 3rd round of chemo. Well actually before i forget and then mention them a ways down the road when they are all way out of context and i have you the readers saying what in the heck does that have to do with anything?

I would like to thank all the guys that went through with it and shaved their heads in support of me. Shout outs to Tyler Smith, Ryan Ottoway, Joe Bergkamp, Dad, Uncle Frank, Jake Quigley (in Cuba), Eric Knight, and Jaime Verbeckmoes. I am in the process of getting an album of myself and all these dudes beautiful bald or baldish heads together and will have it on facebook. After i get all the photos i might work on some sort of photo collage for this blog, because i have that much time. If you see one of these guys out and about tell them how awesome they are.

I reached out to a friend of mine from college named Kyle. His wife has Leukemia and has been battling it for over a year. Her name is Shea and she recently had a bone marrow transplant and has a really inspirational story. If you have the time please check out her Caring Bridge site and let her know how amazing and strong she is. I have requested a that they send me a Team Shea shirt, so i can wear it in support of them. Just by knowing what a great guy Kyle is and reading all about Shea's journey i am truly inspired to be more upbeat and try to have more fun with my life while i go through my remaining cycles. I am going to work on making some Team Paul shirts for all of you that are interested in taking my fight to the next level.

Well i gotta go, time to get the old blood counts checked and see if i can start round three of chemo today or tomorrow. I'm going to work some pictures into my blog during the next week or so. Maybe including a few friendly faces from around the hospital so even if you can't make it to visit me, you can see the wonderful people that take care of me while im at my home away from home.
