We all know my dad and know that you never give him a challenge. He is the most motivated person I have never known and he takes any challenge on with determination. The nurses said that 44 laps around the floor equaled a mile. Put this with the fact that the doctor told dad he should get up and walk around and you are just guaranteeing that dad will walk the 44 laps. Not only that, but dad has gone and done it again, he impressed the nurses around here by not only walking the 44 laps needed to make a mile, but by walking at such a fast pace they couldn't believe he was already coming back to them.
We are having a good day except for the fact that the food is not that wonderful here. We met with Doctor Ryan and he was surprised that dad's pain level did not increase with the decrease of his pain patch. He does have a bit of a tremor in his right hand so they are just going to keep an eye on it.
Thanks again for all of the comments, they are appreciated by all of the Carey family.

You Go Boy! Keep up the good fight! You're an animal Ronald and I am proud of you! I sure hope you get to watch the game today and I expect those Beavers will do you proud.
Love ya, Jefferson
Hi Daddy! Thanks for letting me spend the day with you today. You look wonderful and really impressed me with the three miles you walked! I love you so much and you are always on my mind. I can't beleive the Beavers pulled it out! Thanks for watching the first half with me. Can't wait to see you tomorrow! I love you!
Love, Tiff
Hey der Ron,
Roen and I just got back today from three days up at Breitenbush Hot Springs. It never stopped snowing there, a winter wonderland.
We swept over two feet of snow off the truck this morning and it took an hour to drive the ten miles to Detroit with chains on. On the drive out I was reminded of a line from Robert Service, poet of the Yukon...."It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones that win in the lifelong race." I wonder if you have felt that in your Griz runs. And now in your challenge to be cancer free. I am in awe of your commitments.
Am sending best wishes for this round of treatment and looking forward to seeing ya soon,
Doug
Awesome, Ron: What great news to hear that you are doing so well, that you're family is there supporting you, and that you are unstoppable. Up here in Husky country, the Beavers don't get much press, but I'll have to come up to speed by reading the Oregonian from Albany! You're foremost in our thoughts and prayers (and the short hair looks great!). Yours, Tina
Glad the Beav's pulled it out. I still owe you a mile for betting that Riley would put Canfield back in after he led them to their first touch-down. But after not challenging the Terps touchdown when their guy ran half way down the field out of bounds then leaped in at the last minute to catch the touch-down pass --- I should have known better. Sorry to deprive you of getting to walk another scenic mile and viewing all the pretty nurses 44 more times.
