Tutoring me on my 3 tumors.

Mornin', 

My chief task today with my progressive paralysis  of my left side specifically left hand is to write this entry.
Capitalizing letters is the tricky part as the fingertip and thumb have a thing for the Ctrl-End-Alt COMBO WTF!
instead of stairs for my legs or a floor being problematic  there are keys for fingers ergo thought frustration which can detour an idea from formulating.

The following features . Fabio Iwamoto  MD, Neuro Oncologist at NIH explaining to my brother Matt and  I through pictures (I've grown familiar with) however am unable to describe to anyone else what is going on inside my head. Adverbs, Adjectives, are useless.Chemistry, Biology, inextricably linked to Math are what are required here.

For the next 4 minutes join me in my brain. with Dr. Fabio Iwamoto as our guide. Principal Investigator of

STUDY TITLE: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Vandetanib (ZD6474) In Combination with Carboplatin  Versus Carboplatin Alone Followed by Vandentib Alone  in Adults with High-Grade Gliomas

Am participating with 127 others in  a randomized Phase II Trial of Vandetanib ( ZD6474) In Combination with Carboplatin Versus Carboplatin Alone.

As a Handyman/Painter whose truck was a bicycle this experience fits neatly in the perseverance paradigm.
Fixing broken things do take time, and many options will be exercised before a result satisfies parity.

My focus is Next. this Trial is just another step. and a recombinant  trainer will bring my leg function back  via my right teaching my left what to do.My brain will do my brain does and re-wire itself.My mind will help direct traffic patterns. There are those who will disdain my accomplishments as my failure is easier for them to accept. Here is where my mind begins.MOVE FORWARD, as there are those who believe that Health & Life are worth having, sharing & giving. My goal is to do whatever it takes. And my job is to get well, so that others may live.

Updating through Therapeutic Music Intervention

Evenin',


Well the seizure experience requires untapped physical resilience with medical assistance. The on edge swoon that prefaces an eye blink needs a rest. Break out the Music. Write Think, Something, Anything. To feel better is the goal during illness and hangovers. Fortunately there are headphones and a keyboard.  There are also some family members who jumped in to delve through this unknown with me. Good luck more to them. My sheckles are shy. Dizziness is heavy. Unbalance is constant. Tough Talk is left to Time. My Job is to get well. Left-side Sloppiness is pestering me. The Flash card vision impairs my conscience. This is gonna' take a while, so what move forward, re-connect.

Evenin',


Healthcare Reform will be done by the people, of the people for the people.
Legislation Helps, Actions Heal.
We are all Stakeholders; some are Shareholders whose interest is greater?
Compare Healthcare Cost Increases to Warfare Cost increases.
Listen to the story
"Army Specialist and Humboldt Park resident Tchad Roberts recently returned from a deployment in Port-au-Prince. He worked with a psychological operations team that delivered aid and disseminated information to Haitians. He arrived in the capital two weeks after the quake."

Everyday Everywhere

Afternoon,


First this

Ministering at a Youth Explosion at Assemblies of God in Fayetteville, NC.


A week ago,as I mozied to the Bagel Shop for some coffee  and WiFi, another disheveled scruffy faced guy, told me "folks are gonna be surprised when they meet  GOD, cuz he ain't blonde haired blue eyed, dark skinned with curly hair, or ya' see GOD ain't none of that!!"
I replied that I agreed with him and that GOD for me was everything everywhere and has been and will be in  constant contact with all. He told me in his imbibed friendliness that if I needed a place to live, there were places across the street for $50 a month, he'd help me get one. His name is Cal he's in room 311 he'll see me 'round.


He's right, folk who scream from the bible condemning healthcare reform are gonna be surprised.

Let's Get it Done



Today the President made it exceedingly clear that he intends to move forward on reform to put Americans in control of their health care, and explained once again why:




With ya' Mr President.

P.S.




Don't Let "Socialism" Save You

Americans overwhelmingly think that lawmakers in Washington should keep trying to pass acomprehensive health care reform plan instead of giving up. Amen to that.

In addition to mandatory private health insurance premiums, we may soon be hit with a "mandatory savings" tax and other belt-tightening measures urged by the president's new budget task force. These radical austerity measures are not only unnecessary, but will actually make matters worse. ...

Healthcare Advocates Pre-Summit Rally

Evenin,
Received this reminder pep booster today.
Sooo,If you're near  77 West Washington tomorrow 'round 6pm stop by, If not share  this letter from 
Dr. Lora Chamberlain.

Hello to all,
     I would like to say something to all the 
Health Care Advocates in America, both Single Payer Advocates and Public Optioners.
     We are at a 
pivotal point in the Health Care conversation that has consumed America for over a year now. It is rightfully front and center, at it's core is the concept of "We vs I, (or individual greed)" and the question about whether we are going to be a benevolent society to each other or not! This is an extremely important moment for the evolution of America but it is truly only one moment in a longer, larger struggle for the control of this country away from the Corporations and Money into the hands of the People, Democracy and Community. I can not stress this enough!
     I am going to invite everyone to this health care meeting below not to fuel any standoff between the Single Payerites and the Public Optioners but because I believe in my heart that the seeds of unity need to be urgently planted at this and every meeting like it across America amongst progressives at this time!
     We, progressives, must come together, in compromise and unity, with a combined, agreed upon,
progressive agenda for the Nation, or we will ultimately lose this country and our democracy, period end of story! Sure, some of us may win a small battle here or there but the Corporations are going to win the War! Can anyone else see this? The only way we, the people, the progressives, will win the final battle for the heart of America and vanquish once and for all the greed of the multinational, megalithic corporation is by our unity, our solidarity, our compromise, our organizing, our numbers and our perseverance
     May I please suggest a way to frame this whole debate; The Single Payerites are the true visionaries, they see into the future and they know where we are going with our 
Health Care System, they do know the truth about the future. The Public Optioners are the strategists, they share the same overall frame of reference, the "WE" as the Single Payerites. They do not see far into the future, they only see the next step.
     Congress is a very fearful institution right now and they are even more unwilling to take significant steps because of the massive amount of corporate money that has just been unleashed on them by the recent Supreme Court decision. They are facing a whole new game!
     I am asking everyone to come to this meeting below without the anger and calcification of our individual opinions or "rightness" but with listening ears for the opportunity of hearing and seeing an opening for compromise. An opportunity for future unity! If the "We" of the country can not come together, how are we ever going to win over the "I"?
     Unity among the progressives is the only way that we are ever going to win the final battle with the Goliath Corporations and unlike the 
Bible story, there is no David, no Savior to win the battles for us! I hope everyone has recognized by now that Barack is not going to be that Savior!
     We, progressives, are going to have to work together to take on the megalithic corporations in every aspect of our society; to break them up, regulate them, boycott them, sue them, refuse to work for them. We must come together so that we can impact the "Too Big To Fail" private institutions across America! I hope that you can see that this is not just a fight for Health Care, correct?
     Please come to the meeting below with a long range view of this moment in history, not in capitulation but in reverence to the higher goal of unity. You do not have to lose your dedication to your vision, just add the dedication to the unity, that it will require to achieve your vision, once and for all!
     I am a Single Payerite, I believe that will have our 
Single Payer system eventually, I would love that we could have it right now, but I see our adversaries; the megalithic corporations and their minions in Congress to be very strong. I would like to strategically weaken them so that our next battle will be the winning battle. Can we talk about what that strategic blow might look like?
     I do not agree with the entire list of priorities in the email below from HCAN but I am willing to go to this meeting with open ears to hear where we can compromise, what we all agree upon and what steps can we take to continue our activism in unity.
     Does anyone agree with me? Does anyone see the wisdom in this approach? I will be at this meeting and I hope you will be there too, thanks for all that you do, Dr. Lora

When: Wednesday, February 24th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm
Where: Chicago Temple, 77 W. Washington, 1st floor Sanctuary
As Washington gets ready for yet another summit on health care, people across the country continue to lose insurance, lose their life savings, and lose their lives. 

  • Aetna Will Start Dropping 650,000 Members
  • Blue Cross Will Raise Rates by 39%
  • 2,500 People Will Go Bankrupt Each Day
Makes You Wonder, WHAT'S LEFT TO TALK ABOUT?
On Wednesday, we gather together to define exactly what we want in health care reform, to layout the path Congress must take to pass reform, and to activate thousands of families with the tools needed to keep the pressure on Congress and the White House.
We will hear from Melanie Marchers that are walking to DC right now, and we will hear from Congressional offices about their strategy to win.

  • Pass the Senate Bill
  • Pass a Fix-Bill with Reconciliation
  • National Exchange, Increase Affordability, Eliminate Excise Tax,
  • Include the Public Health Insurance Option


From WHYY  Fresh Air with Terry Gross interviews Paul... "Blumenthal, a senior writer at the Sunlight Foundation, determined that Congress and PhRMA met dozens of times to negotiate that deal. He tells Terry Gross that he learned who attended the meetings by examining Federal Election Commission records, public visitor logs to the White House and the publicly available schedule of Sen. Max Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. ..."
