    Hey Norm. Just wanted you to know that I'm getting stronger all of the time.

    I will start my PT in earnest tomorrow and hope to regain some more of my range-of-motion.... in that my shoulder is pretty 'frozen' on the one side.

    I've been "pacing" myself -- as hard as that may be for you to believe.

    I'm now taking two walks a day.... each getting closer to 30 minutes.

    I do a LOT of resting in between times. LOL.

    Our FL sunshine continues to encourage me & I'm grateful to be surrounded by this light.

    Wonder what's going on in your neck of the woods???

    Just wanted you to know I continue to send you prayers.

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Edited. Started a new page: whoooop whoooop! Must have a picture.

    Here's a view from the ocean, last week: Daytonna Beach.

    InnocentInnocentInnocentInnocentInnocentInnocent...........GOOD DAY EVERYONE..

        Sooooo happy to hear that you are regaining your strength Faith..Like you told me many times before BABY STEPS,the big steps will come soon enough....

         These last few weeks have been a blessing,a learning experence,,a reality check for me. Guess Im not as young as I thought,I've had the boys since feb.14th.All is going well,but I guess I forgot how much work it is doing it on my own.When it gets really tough all I gotta do is think of Brenda and I get settled down.Just 3 more days then they go back to thier fosterhome............not looking forward to that,as difficult as it can be at times,its also soooo rewarding,gives me a since of being and these guys are real sweethearts(horns only come out once and awhile lol..)

       Good to hear from ya Puppy..

    Hope everyone is having a great day.....         norm

    Norm.

    NORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You have no idea how much your long, newsy, personal post means to me. I've had a really challenging day & to come here and read your post has me in tears -- tho, they are happy tears.

    I suppose I probably did suggest you take some baby steps, and it is almost "funny" that you should 'prompt' me with my own advice.

    LOLOLOL

    So much easier to give advice than to take your own well meaning, truthful insight.

    More LOL.

    Isn't it great to hear from Puppy??

    I'll regroup tomorrow.

    Tonight, I'm just putting my feet up and saying: Phew.............

    Take care my friend.

    I am sooooooooooooooooooo proud of you.

    You may never understand how proud I am.

    You're doing such significant, important work, Norm.

    Give yourself a great big hug.

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Hi All,

    Have been mia as I was dealing with round 2 of cancer... I have now finished 6 tx of chemo and 25 rads (finished those wed) I now have 3 1/2 weeks off then will have a double masc and right lymph node dissection. I have to wait at least a year (or two) for reconstuction as oncs are worried cancer was very aggressive and could return. It sucks, but what can you do...

    Its so nice to see familiar faces here and Norm it sounds like your doing so well! I have missed alot and will try to read (many) pages of missed posts.

    Love and miss you all! Hugs Suz

    SUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's great to see you and I LOVE your smiling picture.

    I've been sending prayers for you as you re-mount the battle.

    I have opted NOT to have recon, so I can guide you thru that adjustment. I know it's gotta be a lot different if it's not 'your' choice.

    So glad to see you, again.

    Norm, this weekend I returned to my 'whirlwind' of fun -- presenting 3 different workshops in VA to much applause and encouragement. Then my hubby drove us the 8 hours home to OH. I have two schools this week and then an appointment with my surgeon..... see what he thinks is going on.

    Norm. I don't know how I missed your angel parade.

    It seems like I've gone "backwards" lately. Trust me, it's not because I've done 'too much' but because I've been battling an infection which has now manifested itself in all sorts of swelling and discomfort.

    To tell you the truth, I am working sooooo hard not to be despondant.

    We have made it safely back to FL after a week on the road, performing for a conference and then a couple of schools. So now I'll have a couple of weeks to log some more R&R..... I'm hoping and praying to start moving in the right direction.

    Hope that you've got some upbeat plans for the weekend.

    Norm, so good to see your angel parade. Hugs to you!

    Faith, How is the infection, am hoping they are jumping on it quickly. Did you have your surgery in Jan? How long does this take to heal Frown I would hope you were past the infection stage.

    Love and hugs my friends, Suz

    Happy Easter Norm.

    Your post has filled me with such an abiding sense of hope. Brenda must be looking down and be so VERY, VERY proud of you. You have made her proud, Norm. You have made her proud.

    You are the very definition of Easter.

    Thank you for blessing me tonight, with this update.

    Happy Easter, indeed.

    Suz. I'll be sending up prayers for you all day today and over the coming weeks ahead.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Indeed.

    Norm & Norm friends.

    I have just finished my first 'movie' project. It is my "how-I-spent-my-recovery-time" project. We just got it posted to YouTube yesterday........ the early feedback has been very encouraging.

    When you have 5 minutes & 17 seconds and need a sense of 'calm' in your day, please watch it and then let me know what you think.

    I have made a montage of dozens & dozens of my daisy photos and have set them to my daughter's intstrumental oboe music. I offer it to you as a refection-meditation.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KMMWvMVTko&feature=autofb

    It's so good to have it all finished!!

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Norm, it's always great to see the angel parade. Hope you are having some sunny spring days.

     Suz so glad to hear that you are home and on the mend,hopefully they will get your meds in order quickly.You must be reading me pretty good(ummm the kids love chocalate)lol..ok I will admit that I have been know to indulge once or twice..lol.and yes the chocalate was great but the 4 children I received at easter was fantatic...Must say though they are a handfull,not much free time on my hands the 3yr. old stays home with me all day while her brother and sisters go to school.Not that Im complaining,I love every second of it.

       Faith great job on your daisy movie,it was very relaxing til the end at which time I cryed like a baby. I know Saint is smiling down on you.

       The weather here as been great,sunshine n warm. I bought a huge little tikes bouncy house with slide,climbing wall n basketball hoop for the kids...to see them bouncing around in there is priceless. By the sounds of things they may be staying longer then expected , mcf called this week,cant find a home willing to take all four..sooo guess Im it....

          Anyway better get supper started,hope everyone has a GREAT WEEK END.....tfl..norm

    Oh its  so wonderful to see everyone here!

    Had my at home nurse in yesterday and she removed one drain. Thats a good feeling.. the right side will be awhile as I had all the nodes removed as well as the mx on that side. Got my first look at the surgery site.... its odd but  I think I can deal with it.

    Love, hugs and prayers to everyone. Suz xoxox

    Good morning ANGELWATCHERS;hope you are all having a great day.

    Sending prayers your way Suz,know that you are always close to our hearts.

    Hey Puppy,good to hear from ya,hope things are well with you.

    Footprints;how are you doing?

    Faith;You never slow down do you?(kindda like the neil young song,its better to burn out than it is to rust)Sure hope you are finding time to relax.

    Well my prayers have been answered,MCF has found a home for our 4 siblings,they will go to their new home the end of May so that is great news...It will be hard letting them go but its the best thing for the kids.Unfortunatly there will be more but its a great feeling knowing that you have helped n made a difference in their little lives.

     Any way gotta go,take care n have a great day.................................tfl.....norm

     ps.I have a new email address ;    normlevick@xplornet.ca
