How I survived cancer continues

During all this time I had tried to keep working while in the hospital I would answer questions about my job like when were reports to be written for QSHA. At most jobs these reports are done by HR but some how I ended doing all correspondence with OSHA (occupational safety and health agency). When I started that job, the Company  (US Food Service) was under a huge fine for noncompliance I wrote the procedures identified and arranged the training and hired the people to implement the program. I got the fine reduced and the head of HR fired,of course that didn't go over too well with some of the folks in management. The first thing they did was send Sharon and I to the Fort Mill plant in near Charlotte to set up the new program The plant manager there, Tom Mallernee did not like the idea of the Maintenance Director having as much power as the plant manager that led to him being replaced there by Dan Ellis the Maintenance Director. As fate would have these things  2 years later Tom Mallernee was hired as plant manager and after a year fired the Plant Manager Scott Read in Alcoa, where I worked. And after the second bout with cancer and his boss about to be fired Tom dissolved my Job position he couldn't fire me as I had cancer that was against the law but he could make my job go away ( same thing).
            I was still going back and forth every day never for a minute forgetting what I was up against
            Sharon wasn't at all happy. what ever plans we tried to make kept getting dashed.
           Christmas time came in 2001 and much of it is a blur The Chemo that I was now on (an antimetabolite) Zeloada was taken by mouth. We were going to have a good Christmas we had driven to Augusta Ga. to be with Rick Ali and Lainey We had dinner with them that night and at this point I am not sure if it was two days before Christmas or not, I think so. My hands and feet started to swell my fingers looked like little balloons I had my Doctor's number in Knoxville he told me not to take the Chemo Drug  again as this was a bad reaction to it.
