Hi Marty, I just sent a you a thank you for the beautiful gift you sent me, you really lifted my spirits. I haven't been on lately as we have been scrambling to get Mr Fred fit for nationals. I GET TO GO AND DRIVE HIM IN THE AMATEUR CLASS! We may full well make fools out of ourselves but I don't care. Thanks to some wonderful people who are making this possible. Fred will be trucking to NY this weekend and then Paul and I will be flying out on the 6th driving on the 7th and home on the 8th due to a wonderful friend who made this possible. As for how i am feeling I have my ups and downs. I had chemo yesterday and it just plain sucked. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but this time it hit pretty hard so I was laying low. I can't tell you though how much all of you mean to me and the prayers you have sent help me so much. I dread going back on the 10th of sept [cause I have one week off of chemo] to deal with the drs again. The alternative therapies are working my counts go up which is what we want when we do them. I will beat this thing and I will be in Tulsa!!!!!! The biggest thing that bites is I cannot go out to eat as I am on a strict nutritionist diet and we are trying to figure out what I can eat without white sugar, dairy, and white flour. Stuff has gone flying across the supermarket aisles cause EVERYTHING has those ingredients. Love you all, Linda
