came home from shopping with my wife and took a handfull of groceries to the front porch. as I turned I must have slipped in the gravel as all I can remember is waking up with my head busted on a cement step and my left knee gashed open. EMS was called and I had to spend the night in the hospital for observation. Definately all I need a week before stating chemo again (which is supposed to be once a week for 4 months) I am ok now but sore as a MO-FO on the back of my head, my upper back and my left knee and shin. UGGGG!!! should mention that the problem seems to be blood pressure dropping again and my pulse would not go above 42 in the ER. They found nothing wrong during follow-up.

wish me luck and think about me during those hours (if you are up) while I get half my neck removed. Got my Cobra extention today but the cost is going up $25 a month. Keep the donations coming no matter what you can afford.
Very shortly www.saveshadowpest.com will go live as a legit .com website. I will keep the .weebly.com up for a while during the transition but big changes are coming. Stay Tuned and retweet and share as often as you can. Love you all, hope to have an update after Monday if all goes well. PEACE...

Got my first of 3 corto-steroid injection in my lower spine went well but zero relief 2 days later. I have a major surgery coming up on the 10th of June - modified radical neck dissection of right side. they will be removing all lymph nodes major arteries and a chunk of muscle that will leave me very noticeable. Kind of sux but I guess cancer sux more. I will be 3 - 3 1/2 hrs in surgery and in the hospital for several days I will also be starting Chemo again which will probably keep me in the hospital longer. Until then, I have several pre screen appointments and new medications to get ready. I do not have gas money to get to these appointments or money for my new meds since I don't get my check till the 3rd (and am broke by the 6th paying for Cobra, med refills and various bills + 1 fill up that lasts me a week and a half). Donations, no matter how small are badly needed ASAP so I can take care of these and get ready properly for this major surgery. They will be holding off on the left side since there is currently no sign of cancer on that side (the original side) but if it shows again they will take out all of that side too.
Please, even if you cant donate, retweet, share on your facebook or google +. Get the word out for me. Thank you all very much.
