Happy Father's Day!


Hey everybody! Well the time has finally come for me to go back to work. I am so thankful. I had my feeding tube taken out May 29. I can only eat half as much as I did before my cancer. I lost a total of 35 lbs. since January 17 that was the day of my surgery. I had my appointment with my chemo Dr. last week, he said my neck will be swollen for about another month and my tongue is still burning from the radiation. My tongue will heal in about 3 months. It has been a long hard road for Judy and I. I could not have made it through all of this without her by my side and family and friends and most of all Gods grace and the strength he has given me through all this. I will have a Pet- Scan July 27 to make sure that we stay on top of everything. I still have appointments with my surgeon in Baylor every 6 weeks for the first year. The company I work for gave me a brand new 2008 Peterbilt and trailer to start back to work with. I will have to take it slow for a little while till I get my strength back. I just want to thank each and every one of you for your calls, cards, prayers, and love you have shown us during this time. Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads out there!


This is Trailblazer signing off.

Robert! Look at that truck! Man is it pretty. It looks RED... I know you like red but it really is a pretty red. Well, maybe not like a girlie pretty red but a manly pretty red!
Hope your first week back went well for you and you are back into the hang of things.
Hope to see you all soon.

And when JuJu gets here you will have to let us know when you are going to Dallas and we can all meet in Mesquite for the day! K? Sounds fun to me...
