Many people have been asking for an update on my recovery, and I’ve been hesitant to post one because I hated to post something negative. I’ve been struggling with digestive issues and pain in my feet, the latter most likely caused by the huge dose of chemotherapy put in my abdomen during surgery. My care team at MD Anderson prescribed some additional medicines this week that will hopefully help with both issues. While my weight is down to 163 pounds, my appetite seems to be a little better the past couple of days.

I don’t know how I could have made it this far without Steph. Not only has she been taking care of me, she took care of Preston, our oldest dog, who had been suffering from prostate cancer until his passing Thursday. I’ve been blessed to be married to her for almost 23 years, and I hope we get that much and more going forward from here. Love you, baby.
