Good Job!!! On Day 9 !!!
I was reading your reply to Amy, and was going to reply their, but just wanted to shot this over for you...
Day 9 was really the turning point for me, likewise. Day 9 was the best out of the previous 8....And after Day 9 it has stayed the same, except only gets better!!!!
Watch...now the days start flying faster than you think.....and my sleep returned to me on Day 11 ...8 hours every day since...
Keep up the Awesome Job, we all have fought with with everything we have....and we have takin our life back!!!!
God Bless You, and dont be a stranger brother!!! (-:

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here and thank you for being so supportive. I'll tell ya, if I don't crave a pill while watching this nail biting football...I NEVER will!! Everyone did a great job keeping me focused and gave me the Faith to believe in myself, which was a lot of the problem. My day 8 is great...yesterday was horrible for me, but that's history. I am going to continue to pray that every day gets even better then today AND keep in touch with all of you.
As for a rainbow today...I found a knock on my door hilarious this morning. My neighbor's are used to seeing me frequently throughout the day. Of course, the past 7 days (now 8), the first 3 in bed for the most part, I was MIA. My daughter told me a few days ago that people were asking if I was OK. My daughter said "oh mommy has a REALLY bad flu." lol This leads up to the knock on the door. I am enjoying my 2 hours of sleep when I hear a the "knock." I get up, of course looking horrible because prior to my 2 hrs of sleep...I think I was going on over 48 hrs w/out...(lol history right), open the door and there stands one of my neighbors with with food. "Amy we heard you were very sick so we thought we'd (the neighbor's) bring you food." I got a big container of chili, 2 steaks and an apple pie. It took everything I had in me not to laugh uncontrollably. All I could think is....these people think I am dying...little do they know I am living better then I have in close to 3 years. So there ya go...hope you enjoyed that one...LOL
jms I always love to hear from you...please keep posting!
God Bless You and Stay Strong!

p.s. WTG on Day 9!! Double digits tomorrow!!! Remember when Todd posted his double digits...tomorrow it's your turn...next day mine, along with a few others...WOW what a great team!
PS - (I meant to write this within my send-off line) -- I look forward to reading about your next "rainbow", whatever it may be ....
Just wanted to give you a preemptive "congrats" on your Day 8 .. I'm sure you're feeling even better today. My D8 was interesting, in that I actually felt a little worse than I did the previous 2 days. That noted, today is my Day 9, and I hope you experience it tomorrow just as I am -- I'm feeling a clarity today that I've been waiting and hoping for, although I know tomorrow, etc., may be a little slide backwards. That's ok. I know from what you write that you're seeing the kinds of things, and appreciating the kinds of things, that you may not have thought possible a week or so ago, yes? After sharing what you did with me (2 days ago), I'm so happy for you. If I was a big "exclamation point" guy, that last sentence would have a few on the end ....
So, here's a little contemplation for you which may or may not help and apply for you -- As of this morning, with the 'good' start, I'm now at the point where I've chosen to look at this part of the journey as an interesting challenge; What will today bring? Will it be a "progression" day, or a "regression" day? Frankly, since we're past most of the severe physical negatives, I welcome this new challenge of seeing what kind of day I'm faced with each morning. Either way I know I'm one day further down the road, so that, in and of itself, is a progression, regardless of how I feel -- so we're ahead of the game! (There's an exclamation point for you ..)
Stay as strong as I know you will, and God Bless ..
