Graduation Day (the redue)

Today was such an awesome fun day!

The back story. So I went to the gym Thursday to get a workout in, I biked 10 miles again and did a little walking. After i got to meet with everyone that I worked with there and we got to talking about the graduation that i missed. I missed it because I was in surgery during the ceremony. The time that I should have been walking I was getting 8 inches of my small intestine cut out of my body. Well a lady that I work with, Jill, called to see if i could at least get the cover thing they give you. Well some how she worked her magic and me a meeting with the Chancellor of UW-Oshkosh!!!

I went in this morning with My mother and father and a bunch of people I work with at the rec. I thought it was just going to be this little thing But it wasn't! As soon as I got there they asked me if I wanted a Cap and Gown to put on And My mom was like, " Oh no we brought his." I was planning on not wearing that. So I put it on and out comes the Chancellor in his whole gettie up with my diploma cover. It will be one of my fondest memories ever. I was kinda bummed that I didnt get that moment and I thought i never would. But I got It today! I graduated College and Its and AWESOME feeling.

For the Chancellor to do that on his day off was really meaningful to me. There was even a Professional photographer there and I think I might be in the paper as an "honorary graduate!"

Its an amazing experience! The best part about it all is I think that my mom and dad wanted to have that moment too. To see the look on there faces when this was all going down made me feel even better.

Also today I got some more news at the Doctor. The results came back from the Bone Marrow and also the Spinal Tap. I have NO Lymphoma cells in either. So that was real good!! I have some swollen and active ones in my armpits and my groin/gut area but even those aren't growing as fast as they thought they would be. They havnt change much in the week between the CT scan and The PET scan. All Good news today

After this I went to my old high school and meet with alot of teachers and old coaches! It was fun seeing all these people again! Everyone had very nice things to say.

Today has been a great day my spirits are up and excited for the weekend with my family and friends before I start treatment next Tuesday. Hopefully the rain stays away so that we can have a cookout tomorrow!

Here are a couple of pictures that my mom took today

 The one that made this all happen.

Thanks Jill! This is truely something I will NEVER forget!!!
