No, I'm still competing and have 10 days from tomorrow and would NEVER use that as an excuse just to back out.
Joe,I will say a prayer for you, but maybe this is not the time to think about pre-contest diets and go to the gym but instead time to focus 100% of your energy and thoughts on your son.God bless,SE
I agree.Joe, I know this contest means a ton, but a lot can happen in the initial testing over the next few days, complications, etc. IMO, if there's any part of you that considers this a sign, then I'd take off the shirt tonight, take a few hundred pics tonight (so you'll always have them), and put the gym/diet away until things are better. Be there nonstop in the coming days. Family and loved ones mean more than anything else. Just my 2 cents tho. God Bless.
Sorry. I don't pray for strangers.
i only pray for wealth
Why?
I don't know you. You don't know me. I don't feel the need to do so. Simple as that.
Early this morning my stepson, who turns 20 on Sunday and whom I'm close too, called me yesterday saying he was he had stomach cramps and was thowing up blood, I told to immediatly go to the ER, when he got there they ran some tests and said he had some perferations in the lining of his stomach wall and that was causing the bleeding. They sent him home and he texts me about 1:30am and when he went to the bathroom he had blood in is stool, again, I told him to get back the the ER and I would meet him there. He said don't worry about it and he would call me later.He finally calls me at 5:30am and after extensive tests came to the conclusion that he was on the verge of cirrhosis of the liver along with the stomach bleeding, it gets more nerve racking.........while the were running the tests they find a tumor on his kidney, he went for more tests today and a biopsy is scheduled for later on this weeks, the ultra sound showed that it was a tumor about the size of a gum ball and since the tumor was hard and not soft like a cyst, it's more than likely cancer, needless to say I'm pretty devastated right now, but I'm reaching out to everyone for prayers for him.........even if you don't believe in God or prayers thoughts would be nice.
Joe, people here wouldn't let you off the hook at this point if YOU caught cancer! Now go get on a treadmill!
LOL... cold.
