Yesterday morning I spent on bee control in my neighborhood. I am the guy they call whenever a colony of bees is trespassing into a neighbors house. In this case we have two neighbors that have active bees. They are both great neighbors and we are so blessed to live in a neighborhood that is so close.
I love estate sales and the TV shows Antique Road Show & Pickers for me it's all about the hunt. So to it is with two of my neighbors. Cheryl who is married to Doug a pilot for Garmin and Lynn who is married to Mark a power plant engineer. We are always running into each other at sales and laughing about the crazy things we find. A few days ago Cheryl found a carved wood bear in a canoe when at a sale with her Mom and bought it as a gift for me. It was perfect and matched an owl that Shelby and Isaac gave me for Christmas.
Yesterday I get an email from Lynn>
Michael...I'm sorry to bother you with this now...but if you could guide me about a problem I just recently discovered, BEES! They're big ones and they're swarming around my middle back patio. Do I call an exterminator or what? These are twice the size of regular honeybees. I would sure appreciate any information you could give me. Thanks, Lynn
Lynn is always doing nice things for us. On Saint Patrick's day Mark shows up with a cast iron pan full of Irish soda bread. The gift included the pan.Mark was a Oklahoma State football lineman and is this huge happy guy from Strawberry Hill, a Croatian neighborhood in KC,KS. Lynn is this 5'3"happy woman who is always full of joy. She shared the fact that she had cancer three times but she is now 12 years cancer free. We talked about how when you see people in a marriage go through this every moment is a joy and how sad it is to see others argue.
I stop at Chad and Sarah's before going to a mind over body healing session in Mission, KS. They are working from home so I stay just long enough to pee and give them hugs. I was early so I go into a herb/vitamin shop.
I asked the woman if she recommends anything for cancer. She said, "Mary, do you hear this?". An older woman with some kind of rock-crystal hanging around her neck comes to the front of the store. "How do you know you have cancer"?
I had a fine needle biopsy that tested positive for squamous cell carcinoma, I said. "You want me to check it for you"? Sure! She comes out with a box of bandaids and a white jar. This will take 30min you ok with that? Sure! She dips a finger into this brown goo and rubs it on my neck then she puts the bandaids over the goo. Two women came in and each bought five gal of alkaline water. I helped them load the magic water in the five gal bottles. Then the moment of truth came and Mary took off the bandaids. You see that? No cancer! "Is that right"? I asked. See what the paper says? "That's a 99% true test for cancer". You need to go to a friend of mine ASAP who is a kinesiologist. I think she said, "quackonym". He will tell you if it's true and he only charges $200. I go to my energy healing appointment and get my chakra alined. This involves a woman named Vivian lightly running her hands above my body as I lay on a table and fall asleep. The falling asleep was my idea. Cost for the the vitamin shop with the cancer cure tea $50 and my Vivian sleep session $50. The hole experience priceless.
I go back to the kids house to meet Patti for a benefit dinner. This is an annual event put on by my neck cancer support group.
Upon arrival we are greeted by Mary who is the director and Dorothy, my doctors nurse. I have been emailing Dorothy a few times with questions. She looks up and said" Hows my email buddy? I said, "I don't have cancer". She got a confused look on her face and then a smile as I told her the story of the vitamin shop. I hooked up with another John who had all the same symptoms even down to the same age when he began his journey. He was 6 years older now and cancer free. His wife Kim talked with Patti and they discovered an insurance connection.
This is the email that Dorothy sent to me yesterday and what I have to look forward to.>
Hi, Mike,
Sorry, I did not see your questions before now. Kinda crazy around here. There are no more procedures to be done before appt. I have requested to have your pathology slides to be sent to KU for review. The next step to find primary is to go to surgery. I don't know if she has date for you yet, normally the surgeons don't schedule surgery until after they consult with patients. No, I don't get tired of your emails, but I may be a little slow in answering. I had a work partner to share my job with, but she has taken another job, so I am doing it by myself. Sorry, I was slow to respond.
Hi Dorothy,
It's Monday & time to breath in and breath out.
This is the only thing you need to do today to live.
1. In that week can any other procedure be done to locate the primary tumor?
2. Is my name on her surgery calendar so I won't need to wait another three weeks for my vasectomy? HaHa
3. Do you get tired of my emails on Monday?
Sorry I am such a pain in the ass.
I never have been good at the waiting.
Have a good week.
Sincerely,
Mike
