This past week was a busy one. Patti and I traveled to Tennessee on Tuesday and got home at noon on Thursday. I had to take a contractors license test for Tennessee. We will be traveling soon for the test in Georgia and an upgrade test in South Carolina. We took the camper and stayed at a KOA in Bristol, Tn on the way down and at Salt Fork State Park in Ohio on the way back. Salt Fork is two plus hours from home but both of us were exhausted. The slack time of the past 8 months has made our 12-14 hour traveling days a thing of the past right now.

I am continuing the treatments for removal of the heavy metals out of my system. That will be for the next 14 weeks, twice a week for 8 weeks and every other week for the last 6 weeks. They seem to drain me but nothing like the interferon. I am also having all my silver fillings replaced over the next two weeks, on opposite days of the IV days. I feel I am getting stronger daily and I am loosing weight slowly without giving up anything other than sugar. The old Benjamin Franklin saying about eating like a king for breakfast, a queen for lunch and a pauper for supper is working. I am now at 175 for the first time in 16 years. If it keeps going the way it has been, I will be buying new clothes as my pants and my belts are not staying up very well right now.

Continue to pray for Greg Cox and family on the loss of his son Jason to an IED in Iraq. He was 21. Pray for Pastor Quick and his wife Debbie as they deal with their cancers. Also pray for my mother's friend George as the doctor has advised him to contact hospice. He is doing good right now, but the doctor told my mother that when he turns bad, he will go fast. Pray for my son Steve T. as he is under a lot of pressure with the business. And continue to pray for me and Patti. I feel I am coming along good and have set myself to fight this cancer in body, mind and spirit. Diet and exercise seems to be the key to beating this cancer. I am amazed by how many articles and TV news segments are starting to say the same thing.
