He then crumples up the clipboard in one hand, his biceps moving like greased hamsters under a silk sheet and then rapples out the 5th floor window to fight crime and sort out the current teacher pay strike.

I adore mine as well and KNOW that he wants me to be well. I am so happy you have done so well, it encourages me. I am now 5 weeks out from my transplant and feeling awesome. I can't believe I've felt so shitty this past year when on chemo and just got used to it!! Amazing how we adapt. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself. Jan Hey Cam

You've conveyed your appreciation and admiration of Dr Brad so effectively, I wanna meet him (preferably over the phone, or at the footy rather than in his office, if you take my meaning...) Good post, Camo. ‘Remission’ - now THERE’S a word that makes getting out of bed on Monday all the worth it!

Usually the words are the last thing I listen to in a track. Previously I guess I have been too busy having fun, listening to the beat and getting into the groove whilst helping those around me to dance like they would dance in their own living room with the lights off :-) . Not many songs stop me in my tracks when there is a message to be heard. She succinctly and bravely she expresses whats really going on out there in this world. I so enjoyed coming over and being able to have a power hour of decandance with you and Libs. Through out this last year... you and Libs, without fail have remained totally compassionate. loving and caring to those around you. Even when we run into one another in the capark. It just blows me away. Thank you both for all your care. x x x Terry Hi Cam… totally agree with you on the song by Pink ! Usually the words are the last thing I listen to in a track.

All I seem to hear now are positive things. Whilst that is a wonderful thing, it's significantly different from what was going on only a month or 2 ago. Are we expecting further good news as time progresses, or are we in a lull before a storm, or did I dream that you had MM and really, this blog has just been about providing a comic release for The Guy? While the news is good, I am simply glad. Great to hear about some future directions as well. You'll do well.
