| July 7, 2002- Nothing new. I started letting my hair grow back in. Either it's a few shades lighter or it still isn't growing in as full as it used to. It's too early to tell right now cause it's still very very short. Tomorrow I go to the doctor's for a bone marrow biopsy :( They aren't any fun. Pain is never a good thing, but after all I've been through my pain threshold is pretty damn hi. Not that it wasn't before hand...after all, I did have my toenails pulled out when i was only 11 and I didn't shed a tear. I'm a hardass :) Anyway, this friday I'm going camping. We'll also be going white water rafting. I can't wait. My sister is taking me with a few of her friends and we're all going white water rafting. Since I don't know any of her friends I got to invite someone I do know. At first I was going to invite Matt, but he couldn't get off work so I was very sad about that. I really don't know anyone else in Pennsylvania other than him and Tracy, and I think it goes without saying that I wasn't going to invite her. Not that I wouldn't enjoy her company but I don't think she'd accept, especially not if it meant taking off work. Not to mention she can't swim. Ooops, I said I wouldn't talk about her anymore....oh well. So I wasn't even sure if I wanted to go camping anymore, but then I remembered a discussion I had with a friend back in the fall. I was talking to Christine and we both said how much we had always wanted to go white water rafting. So one day last week she was online (a rarity now that she's home and not at college anymore) and we were talking and I thought I should invite her just for the heck of it. She got all excited and started asking me about it and everything and now she's coming up here to go camping and rafting with me :) Now I can't wait to go. It's going to be a blast. I just hope my ass doesn't hurt to much from the bone marrow biopsy. On a sad note, I got some news today about a young boy from my community who has been battling cancer for quite some time now. His name is Adam Boyde and his grandparents are my neighbors and he goes to my church. Unfortunately, he isn't doing to well, and it's to the point where the doctors have said they can't do anything more for him. If you are a religious person I ask you to please pray for him in the hopes that a miracle might happen. If not, please also pray for his family. This boy is only 11 years old. |
