"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith...so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Hebrews 12:1-3

Bill Cosby > pain meds?

I don't know anyone who likes to feel pain.  Becky is no exception to the rule.  One day away from transplant and Becky has started to feel pain.  I can't really blame her body.  Much like Black Friday shoppers destroy Target the day after Thanksgiving, numerous rounds of chemotherapy have destroyed her bone marrow, and the product of this process can be messy and painful.

Since this morning, Becky has had various waves of pain ranging from irritating to intense.  She has since then been put on a machine to help manage her pain.  The odd thing is, I'm not sure it has been the drugs that have helped her.  When Becky started feeling sick I decided to put on Bill Cosby.  She then started to giggle and feel better.  She smiled and you could see the pain begin to roll off her like rain off a rain repellant jacket.  At first I just attributed the fact that she was feeling better to the drugs.  But can modern medicine give us more than Bill Cosby?  The question will have to be debated between new age medicine and modern medicine.

Shout out to the service Rdio.  They have all of Bill Coby's work on demand.  So for those of you who are frantically converting your tapes to CD or ripping your CDs to give them to Becky, I urge you not to do so.  With our handy dandy friend Rdio we have Bill Cosby at our fingertips :)

    Becky & Zack - OK I am old. This is the fifth time sending my wish/prayer to you two. Hopefully I'll get it right this time. Today is a special day. At 2pm West Coast & 5pm East Coast where I am. You will be receiving your BMT not the BLT which would taste better.
