132 Angels and Counting

Our team is amazing! As of today we have 132 people signed up for the Susan G. Komen Race on Sunday, September 25th in Newport Beach. The race is expected to draw 30,000 people and I am so excited to be a part of it. My dining room looks like Pepto exploded all over it with all the pink shirts, hats, and bags everywhere.
My house arrest has been modified and I am hoping to be released fully for Sunday. My numbers have not come up all the way, but they are starting to bounce back. I have to have another blood test on Thursday to see where the numbers are at. I look like a pin cushion with all the holes in my arms. I keep trying to lift weights to get my veins to pop out. Last time the girl who took my blood greeted me with, "Hi, I am an extern, do you mind if I draw on you?" Well OK, I don't mind. I should have minded. She put the needle in my arm and nothing came out. Then she panicked and moved it around trying to find some blood flow. Needless to say the supervisor had to come and help her. Everyone has to learn and everyone has a first day, but blood draw should really be exempt from that practice.
Mr. Bob Frazier said I should get some Tiger Blood since it helped Charlie Sheen. I do have something better; they are going to give me 8 days of steroids after my next cycle. The steroids are really magical and I feel like Wonder Woman when I take them. Too bad it's not long term. I was thinking I could give them to Chase too so he could fly through homework and practice, but the pharmacist said it wouldn't really work.
