There is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness...

Cameron, Jacob and I went to see Kung Fu Panda this afternoon. I have to admit it was pretty entertaining. And it taught a good message: the secret ingredient to your success is you. After the movie, we had a sudden craving for Chinese food - go figure - so we got take out from Fong's. We ordered our usual: Sweet and Sour Pork, Ham Fried Rice, Cashew Chicken, Broccoli Beef and my new favorite, Crab Rangoon (thanks Kareena and Heidi for introducing me to heaven in a won ton wrapper!). And of course, fortune cookies.

Match the fortune with the person:

1) Paul
2) DeLynn
3) Parker
4) Hayden
5) Cameron
6) Jacob

a) Today, your mouth might be moving but no one is listening.
b) Your high-minded principles spell success.
c) People are drawn to you and look to you for advice.
d) This could be an almost perfect day. Enjoy it.
e) To learn without thinking is effort in vain.
f) Enhance your karma by being kind to everyone you encounter.

Hint: One of them totally pegged the recipient...it's funny how that works.

Leave your answers in the comments box. The person with the most correct answers will receive an all-expense paid trip to inner peace. Or at the management's discretion, a box of almond cookies.



Treatment update:

Paul and I met with Dr. McAllister, the radiation oncologist, on Thursday. He showed us the X-ray of Paul's femur, pointing out the lesion on the bone. It's about 7cm in length. He recommended that Paul receive radiation treatment. We have three options: 10 treatments over two weeks, 5 treatments over a week, or 1 treatment. We chose to have one treatment and be done. There is a 95% success rate for relieving bone pain, so we're optimistic that this will help rid Paul of the pain he's been suffering for the last month. He went yesterday for a simulation. They did a CT scan of his leg. Then they fed the data into a computer to work out the physics for the treatment. Paul has four Sharpie marker X's on his leg that they used to help aim the lasers, which in turn, will aim the X-ray. He is scheduled for the actual treatment on Monday morning at 9:15. He may get relief within the week or it might take a month to see results. We're praying for a quick response.
