Hi, there everyone, yes it's me. First thing first I want to thank Tammy and Roxy for setting this up for me and also to all of you who have taken the time to read some of the entries and to those of you who have posted tidbits here.

I'm doing great, feeling wonderful and getting back to normal. I finished my first week of RICE and it wasn't any different than the RCHOP I did last year with the exception that the steroids that they are giving me made me really bloated. I started last monday @ 244lbs and by friday I was up to 255lbs. I have never ever weighed that much. With the exception of not having a foot in my ribs or something like that, I do know what it is like to pregnant. Yes, all of you mom's out there, you are truely the stronger sex.

I will keep everyone updated on how things are going but as for now I'm feeling great and with each day this week I'm feeling even better.

Well I got to get back to work, so I'll get back here later this week
