Another Good Day!




Today was another good day here at Hershey for me. I managed not to catch a fever all day and also I'm gaining some of my appetite back. Mindy and I ate some cheese steaks for lunch today, yummyy... Tomorrow I am scheduled to get a "Bronconscophi" some test to determine the type of pneumonia where they actually go down my throat into my lungs and get a sample of the cells. So I'm stoked about that. I hope they dope me up well before they go searching down my throat. I'm looking forward to hopefully making it home sometime this weekend and crawling back into my own bed... with my bed bunny.

Thanks for everyone's support,

Derrick

Hello!! I am always excited when I log on your page and read news of your improvements!! Hope the whole tub going down your throat thing wasn't as bad as you would think. You are a true inspiration for me and I thank you for that. You have reminded me how precious life is and how a positive spirit and determination can move mountains. Love you!!

P.S. like that little hawaiian shirt with the drinks you are sporting! ;)
