My time spent in Chicago so far has been great! Spending time with some great friends and enjoying the city life. The Committee is working hard preparing the silent auction items, door prizes, and raffle baskets. Thx again to everyone that has donated! They have gathered some awesome items man. Here is a few- Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Cardinals & Hawks tix. Regis & Kelly, Letterman tix & CBS Sunday football studio tour! Hotel stays, lettuce entertain you dinner gift certificates as well as other restaurants. Large denomination gas cards, art work (myself included), and free portrait sitting plus an 8×10 print. Autographed sports memorabilia, jerseys, Mary Kay baskets, Bed bath & Beyond (if there is enough time! ha) wine baskets, liquor baskets and more…. It is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait. Thx for everyone’s hard work, efforts, and donations!!!! You guys are truly making this a great event.

As for me, I am getting the head pain from time to time. It is always in the same spot, but slightly moved from it’s previous position when it was so painful. It doesn’t raise any alarms nor stay for a long time usually. Like 10-20 min. A few times it has lingered longer but not excruciating. The recent visit to the ER a few weeks back I didn’t even have any head pain. I am familiar enough, now, to know if it needs medical attention.

I had all my medical docs sent Dr. Carpenter at Barnes Jewish hospital in StL. He has reviewed everything except my Mayo clinic MRI/A’s of  my head, neck, and chest. His office called me yesterday to schedule an apt. I made it clear that I did not want to see him if he did not have anything new to bring to the table since I am a cash patient. I would prefer not to waste my own time, paying time, and take time away from someone in need. They said that is not the case and he definitely want to see me! So, that is kind of exciting. The apt. is Oct 5th. Now, if he has nothing new for my $500 session, that will not be good news for him. Just saying… I will not be happy.
