Andrea's Favorite Blog Uncle

We are going home today. Yesterday was a great day for Andrea. She did not have any nausea and very little pain in her shoulder. She even cut down her morphine to a very small amount. I can't believe the recovery Andrea has made after this round of chemo. I think she is going home stronger than when she came in - which is truly remarkable.

She got up yesterday with a smile. We took many walks, she ate some food, continued drinking lots of fluids and felt great. We even had dinner, mexican food, at a table instead of in her bed. She was very jovial, very talk-a-tive, and just like the Andrea we know. We even ended the night with a movie - Kung Fu Panda.

And speaking of kung fu - there is been a debate of words between two heavy weights (notice i did not put the word "heavy" and "weight" together on purpose) on the andrea taylor blog comment board. So, I thought I would finally put them in the ring and duke it out for ANDREA'S FAVORITE BLOG UNCLE. Sorry Ralph, your letters are great, but you gotta get a keyboard and mouse soon or at least a typewriter. And Jim, I am not throwing your hat in the ring because you still owe me 5 bucks for the lakers nba c-h-a-m-p-i-o-n-s-h-i-p.

So, on the left,
weighing in at an unsurmountable weight, father of many child, all the way from some high school in Indianapolis, hopefully wearing trunks,
John "Machine Gun" Taylor
.
vs
Tom "Two Tooth" Taylor,
father of one child, also hooked on phonics in indy, also weighing in at an unpredictable rate, and also hopefully wearing trunks.

To win ANDREA'S FAVORITE BLOG UNCLE, I need the blog readers to cast their votes on the message board or they can simply tweet 1-800-IDOL-09. Votes will be tallied by the dark accounting firm of Mangal & Indians and the final results will be announced later on the board.

Andrea, it was sooo good to hear that you are feeling better. Part of it must have been the mexican food, the chilis are the best helpers.

This vote comes from the Muessing road clan-so ofcourse we must vote for John "Machine Gun" Taylor!! If we don't, we may lose our happy home, but no pressure or anything. Looking forward to hearing that you're continuing to improve, and it's just so wonderful that you're going home and actually feeling well. Sorry Tom. Love, Lisa, Sam, Emily, and Sunny-(xo, oo, xo, prr-prr)

I can't believe anyone would vote against Tom "I'm channeling my father" Taylor. Perhaps you should have used his correct name in the fight announcement. I, of course, must vote for him. (He's reading over my shoulder.)
I'm glad that Andrea is feeling better, and I'm so excited about your getting to go home.
Love,
Aunt Karen

I foresee a Florida 2000 recount- situation already. Therefore, I am retaining my favorite attorney; Anshul Mangal. I feel Anshul, with the right retainer/bribe, will be fair an impartial.

I vote for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Tom

Inspiration and genius--one and the same. Neither of your uncles has it, so I vote for Tom.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat...We must find vote for Uncle Tom.

Andrea,

SOO VERY HAPPY you are home!!! I hear your garden is beautiful and I would love to see it, especially with you standing in it .... working it. I love gardening and 'weird and different' plants also. It is so relaxing. One can truly 'escape' from the 'fast lane' in the garden.

You just relax and get better and better and better. So many love you both and we ALL send our love your way!

Much love to you and Anshul, your Mom and Dad and Anshul's Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers and friends who have so heartenly posted to you and Anshul on this site.

It's tough to see someone we love in such a turmoil but it is so comforting to not only receive but to give. So many are pulling for you, because we love you, love your smile, your perserverance, your strength.

Keep up that smile and positive attitude! You ARE beating the beast!

Love,
Aunt Deb
XOXOX
