Wow, what a day it was yesterday!  Sunday 9/9 benefit was a huge success.  One bad thing, some people were upset with the $20 entry saying "they had already donated".  In fact, Saturday morning I invited a student to the brunch and she said, "you know I already gave a donation"  I was floored, I told her I knew that, but the brunch alone was worth over $20 with lox and shrimp and gourmet bagels and cheese blintz souffle, salads, homemade mandel bread and it was a benefit party.  Nope, no go.  Ok, now on to the happy stuff,  31 tables filled with people who love me!  The event raised $4200. That takes care of the next 3 chemo treatments!  I was and am so overwhelmed that I could not talk!  Someone mentioned I was gaining weight, yes I am,  however, in her experience the chubby ones survive - she included herself since she is a survivor.  Not everyone knows about the knuckle bumps.  Today I have a slight tickle in the back of my throat.  Giving blood today, Dr. Patterson tomorrow, chemo on Wednesday.  I think I will take a little vitamin C right now.  I dont take anything that might interfere with the treatments. Vitamin C today should be okay.
My sweethearts that helped with this event, I thank you.  Incredible job.  The folks who made it so much fun, I thank you.  Today Paul and I are going to Miami Shores - Alan Minton's game. Another benefit with my friends in Miami.  Cant wait!! Alan is a terrific chef, lunch is included.
I feel terrific!  I hope to hear I have insurance this week.  I will call tomorrow.
