Whatever gets you thru the night...it's alright, it's alright

[bridder01]

Hey gals & guys! Brian here. Well, first off, sorry I wasn't here Saturday, but I came down sick Friday night and it wiped me out for the whole weekend. Nothing related to the radiation, though. Feeling better now and raring to go! Speaking of the radiation treatments, 23 down, 2 to go! Wednesday is my last treatment! Then I'm off to the hospital September 20 for an MRI and CT scan to check on the tumor and on my lungs (just to make sure it still hasn't spread). Then I have my follow up on the 25th with the doctor overseeing my case and I'm hoping I get a surgery date at that time as well. I've really missed talking to all of you and I'm hoping (fingers crossed!) that I'll be on for a bit at the end of this week (Thursday maybe, but definitely Friday). So, what's been going on? Did I miss anything juicy? lol

Your friend,

Brian

Sorry to hear you were sick over the weekend, thought you might be whopping it up

Why is it every time I read one of your posts, a big smile comes over me. If you could sell your "positivity" in a bottle, I'd be the first to buy it. Right now, I don't know how much we are supporting you as you are supporting us. You're a good guy x

If I was whooping it up, I would be tuckered out by 7 PM lol and probably boogying to Guy Lombardo lol

[Agora1 in reply to bridder01]

You're so young to like all the oldies, how is that?

[bridder01 in reply to Agora1]

Because, when I was a teen, I was a recluse. I had to keep myself occupied somehow lol I can easily listen to big band and swing music just as I like listening to classic rock I'm also a sucker for classic jazz as well

[Agora1 in reply to bridder01]

Good for you Brian in going towards the classic movies and music.

[bridder01 in reply to Agora1]

Those are usually the best! Most of today's stuff.........meh lol

The Brian Fan Club is in full effect I see! I’d be second in line behind Agora to buy Brian’s magic in a bottle. You’re one of a kind. Thanks for keeping us updated and glad you’re feeling better. Miss you lots every day you’re not here...

[bridder01 in reply to Strongheartforever]

Thanks Lisa! Tomorrow is it, the last day!

[Strongheartforever in reply to bridder01]

The end of a very important stage in your journey, and good riddance to it! Getting closer to better days. What a summer, huh? Yowza, one to remember that’s for sure. You’ve done it all with a lot of grace. And humor!
