Well, I started not to even post this but I know some of yall r really prayin for me and r really conserned and care. The others, well don't read it. Lol. I'd been havein trouble tryin to quit takein steroids. Head akes real tired and just plain fealin bad. I just got threw with a round of kemo to. Sutent, a pill u take for a month then off for 2 weeks. It generly makes u feal bad, aspechly in the last 2 weeks. But the steroids made it a cake walk this time. I take them to keep my brain from swellin from the whole brain radiation. I'm tryin to quit them because I'm tired of gettin on everybodys ash for nothin and bein so mean. And the doc said I could taper off them. I'm also takein 15 mg oxycodone and zanx to help with the pain of the steroids. They give me at night restless leg sydrome all over. And the zanx helps with the meanness. Lord know I don't won't to become a drug adict. Went today for a early brain mri because of the headakes and dizyness. its generly not done untill 5 weeks after rad but they were a little worryed. I had 12 little spots before rad and now some can't be seen. Some of the biger spots seem to be diein. he said take it with a grain of salt though and don't figer on quitin the steroid for a while and I'll see u in 2 month's for another mri. I did a body mri monday and will see the doc next wed for that. I feal the cemo is still workin because I got a. Tumor on my shoulder and one in my groin I can feal and both are real small. My middle back is hurtin though. Not real bad but when I lope I can feal it when u compress. Also when I take a deep breath. I been worryed sick about this brain mri thinkin I'm never goin to get these new cowpens and arena finished. I been kind of dragin on gettin started because of it. But now I might just have the time and maybe a chance at the stemcell transplant to. The lord has keep me here way longer than most with the type of cancer I have. And the lord knows I've done some sufferin the whole time. But sometimes I wake up and feal so good, so relaxed and not hurtin.most don't know how good a fealin that is till it don't come real regular. Its nothin I take for granted. I might by the grace and will of god whip this cancer yet. Time will tell. But I'll get on my pens soon. If its the last thing I do. Thank yall for bendin gods ear for me.
 
Great report cowhunter. Way to keep a good attitude. I love to read your post. I like the committment you have to Keep'n on Keep'n on, unstead of wallowing in self pitty. I have no doubt that you might beat this yet. With your attitude and desire I think you could probably whip anything. Keep it up. You might as well get those pens and arena built so you can get to useing them. I applaud that you realize how all of the medication effects you and are trying to do something about it. Most people never realize that they are hurtful to others, even those that aren't on medication. Keep up the good work. God bless.
 
Hang in there, Cowhunter. You've got alot of believin' folks praying for you and I know God's ear is bent in theirs, our's and your direction. Kepp as busy as you can and do what's most important to you.
 
Proof of prayers working.
Sending more and get busy with them pens ......make an extra for that lil girl of yours, so she can have a pen to practice her barrel pattern.
 
That sounds like good news cowhunter, I admire your attitude. Will keep putting in a request for your complete recovery in my prayers.

Thanks for the update.
 
Thanks for posting this. We will continue to keep you in our prayers for sure and certain. Dr's can do amazing things these days with the medications and treatments but it never hurts to have the hand of God on ya thru the whole process.
 
I said this before and I'll say it again, "something tells me you are gonna beat this thing, cowhunter". You are experiencing God's grace and his love. You are wise in your walk with the Lord. May he bless you and keep
you. You've sure got the right attitude. Prayers for you will keep coming from Montana.

Keep us posted. We care.
 
It really means a lot to me. We stoped at a western store I'd never been in a town called stark on the way back. I'm was lookin for a little d ring that's got a flat peace of plate with a hole in it. U never see them on new saddles any more but they were mounted close to the horn with a piece of leather tide to the ring that was split about 4 in on the end. U got several wraps around ur rope and then put the split over the horn. I know yall no what I'm talkin about. Any way they had non. I had ordered a set from our local western store from weaver. And they got the order wrong and some diferent ones came in. We stoped at a nother store in gainsville and I had been wontin me a nother set of spurs so my wife sayed sence I was such a sweet boy at the doctors office and only got mad a little, she'd buy me a new set. Like I was a youngin. She souldnt a done it. I got the most expencive pair that had. Learned her I reckon. Lol. Then went to our western store at home and they had the clips with good leather on them. I got them already on my new saddle. Does any of yall know where I can get a cantene? One of they alominums ones with colored blankets wraped on it? I can't find one nowhere on the net. It would be nice to tote a little water to drink and for a hot dog to.
