E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!: Let me tell you how cool it is that the Philadelphia Eagles continue to win. It's a miracle actually. But, it's one that I get to enjoy and savor. With apologies to all my Eagle-hating friends. What's more important is that I get to spend each game with good friends and their families. It's a time where I can forget about everything and scream and hollar until I'm horse. It's a time where I can play with their children and just be "Uncle Spike". It's a time where I can just do goofy things and be looked at as, "that's just Lance being Lance." It's really a good time. Medically speaking, everything is status quo. I'm off any major treatments or surgeries for at least January (barring anything unforseen...I need to include that caveate'...lol). Though, I have a few trips to a couple of specialists: a neurologist on 1/10, a cardiologist on 1/11, xrays on 1/16, a vascular surgeon on 1/17, the oncologist on 1/18, and the cardiac surgeon on 1/23. And, I have my regularly scheduled dialysis on M W and Fs. So, I've got a little break...LOL. My major concern I guess is my leg and the shakes I have in my hands. My leg still "burns" as a result of possible nerve damage from the surgery (hence my neurologist appointment). And, the shakes in my hand I have no clue. I'm hoping it's from medication. So, I will bring that up with the neurologist on 1/10. We'll see. But, I'm back to driving and many restrictions have been lifted since surgery. I feel pretty damn good actually. Though, being able to drive is somewhat bittersweet I am finding out. When I could'nt drive, my brother and his family or good friends would drive me to and from my appointments. It was a time where I could spend with them and get caught up with things. It was a time where it just wasn't "just me" in the car. It was good to be with them. Its those small moments that mattered. Even if we didnt say much. So, I may give them a call and ask if it's cool to get a ride from time to time. I would like that. Take care everyone. And thank you again for all your positive thoughts, prayers, well wishes, tidings, etc. I don't think I could be here doing what I am doing without each and everyone one of you. Much Love, Lance

Hi, Lance:
I was thinking of you last Sunday as I watched the Eagles beat the Giants. (I was actually rooting for the Eagles, since I'm disgusted with the Giants this year. I will continue to support them as far as they go in the playoffs.) The story of their season can be compared to your health battle. Even though they lost McNabb half way through their schedule, they keep on fighting and finding a way to win. They have shown a lot of character, as have you.
Incidently, L.J. Smith is a Rutgers graduate [I think...at least he played football for Rutgers.:)]. Did you happen to notice that the Scarlet Knights went 11-2 this season? When they won their bowl game on December 28 (37-10 over Kansas State), it was the first time since 1878 that Rutgers had a win in December. Glover Cleveland was President at the time; amazing!
Anyway, I read your blogs from time to time and I wanted to let you know that I'm inspired by your fortitude. I've always known you've had the brains and a good sense of humor, but I see you have a great inner strength, too.
If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to contact me at the numbers below.
God bless you,
Charles Stebbins (C-STEB)
