Column number 3 is up!

Brian's third column is on-line now. Please go to: www.theknoxvillejournal.com and click on "faith" and then Brian's Battle.
The last two evenings have been rough with very little sleep for either of us. Brian did sleep on and off pretty much all day today.
Yesterday his pain levels were very high and he was asking for pain meds almost hourly. It is very hard on us when we have to tell him he needs to wait at least another hour before he can have them again. Some of his pain was in his neck from the way he had slept that morning. Typically, he leans forward and props his forehead on pillows but he was sleeping sitting up with his head tilted to one side.
We did manage to get in a couple of rounds of golf on consecutive evenings and Brian managed to beat by two strokes in both rounds. He must have been taking it easy on me!
I slept from around 8:30 or 9 until around midnight this evening, when I woke up with my stomach twisting and turning flip-flops. My stomach feels like I just got off of the Matterhorn ride at the fair after polishing off a couple of hot dogs and some cotton candy. I hope I haven't picked up a virus because I prefer keeping my cookies down. And, Brian certainly doesn't need it.
Otherwise, all is well!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!
