Ed,

Congratulations on winning this award! It is a testament to your own drive and passion, not only in surviving your own cancer, but then taking your survival success to create a new organization to help others in their battle with cancer!

After first meeting you through the Marines for Life program (http://www.m4l.usmc.mil), I have seen your passion for helping others firsthand, and its inspiring to see these blossom into CStar.

Further, knowing your career pursuits are within the nuclear medicine and non-profit industries, I know that the organization that finally lands you will gain a significant force for good, and a powerful agent for positive change!

Congratulations, LeatherNeck! Semper Fi!!!

I know I ma am one of the "If you need anythings . . " Can I donate Tim for the Urbanathalon? I want to see him after the 5oo+ stairs at Soldier Field. That sounds like a totally fun, if not completely draining course. If you didn't say men only I might even try the jumping across car hoods and scaling tires. The stairs you can count me out of though! We love you Eddy and we've got your back.

I'm glad our miracle arrived timely. In order to maintain a non-for profit status, MPRI will have to plow some bucks into free/almost free care. Healthcare is a business and has to maintain a bottom line to be viable. So, they need to make the bucks on the so-called "light" cases to fund the more complex cases. I want to take a deep breath and be able to exhale without hyperventilating. We really are blessed and we are going to stay tuned for the remarkable events that are sure to unfold. Mom

Hey, "collateral damage pain" is better than "carotid artery stroke" no matter HOW you slice it! You're a tough guy, I'm sure you can handle it. Too bad they won't give ya a morphine drip! Although, I bet there will be the inevitable women saying "Now you know what childbirth is like"… P An Epidural perhaps? LOL!

Good luck my man! I hope it's OK I still check this page every so often. As a sidenote -- I brought my 675 into Gen X Performance last week, and dropped your name, and they were very accommodating once I did! Sounds like you left quite the impression on them. And this is where I heard about your stolen/crashed 675 (I know, old news now -- but I never go to T675.net anymore).

Hope the results come back negative for anything truly bad. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hi Ed.

I have to say that your posts always have a few literary gems. My favorite in this post is "These pieces dare you to dream, and then call your dreams stupid." I actually laughed out loud and then read it to Karen.

Glad to hear the recovery situation is under control. I have a very nice temperpedic pillow you could have if you like. This to further increase the recovery sit. Let me know and God Bless.

Eddy, there are three kinds of lies:

3) statistics

You are always in our thoughts and although the terms and fruits of victory have changed it is still a victory. The most miniscule piece of ground gained is still forward. I have never been to Bloomington this time of year but hear it is quite lovely. See you next weekend.

Keep up the good fight and remember that they don't call it "medical practice" for nuttin! You're right on the money with your assesment and attitude. The greatest Dr. I dealt with never told me what I couldn't do after my surgery or let me limit my potential. Went last spring skiing on a bad peg 5 years later.....! Make good decisions with what is available today and tommorrow will be here soon enough!

Between my bad leg and your eye we'd make a good pirate! We are praying for you everyday!

You are Eddy! There are not enough of you; you are a rare commodity that no matter the condition will endure. There will never be enough Eddy's to go around, and you will find that all doors that close will open another.....and yes, you can kick it down if you'd like.

As someone who is in a place that 6 years ago I never dreamed of (partly because of a medical issue); It all works out when you have the determination to survive. I can tell you in my opinion that you have all you need to fill in that blank already. No one that knows you would consider anything about you a ___________!

Opportunities are rarely labeled. We both know the Corps would have held you back. Gunnery Sergeant, you have achieved more in your short time than most Marines do in 20 years. You will continue to excel in everything you do. And because you have a generous nature you will credit the Corps in your future success. But those of us, who served with you and call you brother, know the truth. Excellence is in your blood, ambition is in your DNA, and greatness is in your future.

Eddy you sound awesome. I think I might wear my Team Schrank shirt to sub on Friday and see if they think I'm threeatening anyone. There is one bright spot in all that.

Eddy, I made the Easter Lamb Cakes – unfortunately or fortunately yours had a crainectomy and a butt-ectomy while exiting the mold. I'm calling on team Schrank for a repair. Actually it's a good reason to use lots of frosting to glue things back together. Meet you at the Mimosa bar – you can have yours straight up – OJ that is. Mom

I think it takes hard work to gather the courage to make that pitcher of lemonade day after day. What a world it would be if it was catching! Keep it going, stay strong – you're 1/2 way there!

Eddy, keep going, keep strong. Just to let you know Toph was sent to the principal's office because of the team Schrank shirt. They believed he was trying to send a message to a student named "Cancer". That at some point that a butt kicking was eminent from Toph, and the entire Team to said student. Once he explianed the meaning behind the T-Shirt everything ewas OK and he was granted permission to wear it again. Currently there are no students named Cancer at his school.

Hi there, Eddy! I'll second the bravos on getting active on TCM. Wise people have been curing cancer, plagues, and all sorts of maladies for millenia... well before our western methods were born. Each has it's place in a complete assault on your cancer.

I'll be in the kitchen for a little bit of therapy myself tomorrow. Can I pick up anything you need at the grocery store? Can I help with laundry or housekeeping? You can sleep the whole time... let me know if Saturday afternoon or Sunday anytime would be OK.

Keep up the good work and good attitude!

Wow, not a fun day. Today will be better. I'm sending you, through my mind waves (which means you will repeat this song over and over in your head), Sunshine Day by the Brady Bunch kids. You should wear some polyester to the treatment just to complete "the look" (Johnny Bravo anyone?).

Eddy,Eddy here's my opportunity to make a live donation. I have plenty of abdominal fat to replace whatever you lost – if that's ever a need. Do you think we're a match? Just give a call, I'm available anytime !!!!
Phil Collins, that's bad – I wonder if he knows what his music is being used for. Hope you have a better day. MOm

Wow, you guys are all up way too early! Eddy – Joy will be back in town next Monday so hopefully you haven't forgotten where food comes from (besides Joy). I also have been a beneficiary as I get the leftovers. Good luck today and everyday!

If your PT won't listen, tell her to watch out for the strength of Team Schrank. She'll never know what hit her! Like your mom said, she probably hasn't had expierence with super healers before. We are thinking of you here in Jersey. By the way, if you lose your hair, less money to spend on haircuts and brow tweezing!
Love, Brita

Oh, I feel sorry for your PT – you know you can always stop going if she is ticking you off that much. You can always request another PT. You /or insurance is paying so being the customer you can get scheduled so that you are satisfied. So don't be so hard on her – she probably has never run into anybody with super healing powers before. It's not worth ruining your day over. I'm thinking of you today, all day. Peace and strength to you. Mom

Those pictures of the kids are INSANE! Ava and Aiden could put Red Bull out of business. When I need someone to knock a hole in a wall or I need some remodeling, I'll know who to call.

Eddy,

Did you know that our Samwell friend has his own website? There is a karaoke download…I'm going to have to practice for my next performance. It might replace BGB as my favorite song to sing! There is a remix there as well. I found it on youtube.

Glad to hear that you're getting so much good news. And how awesome that you were able to donate your eye. It's great that you were able to turn your loss into a wonderful gift for another person.

Just to let you know, I've given you an honorary photo on my website: http://www.shortcakes.biz/about.htm

Lots of good news
Corey asked about you yesterday and she gave you a thumbs up when I informed her of how well you are doing.
By the way, I have a shirt to match your mask if you are interested.

Just so everyone understands my previous comment…I have NOT yet been promoted to Gunnery Sergeant in real life…only in a video game named "Resistance". Please no more congratulatory emails!

Love the pictures. You have such a positive attitude – I think that you are the poster child for "Let's move on" Congratulations on your accomplishments.

I will find a way in my busy schedule to accomodate you guys…but the PS3 gaming community may never recover. Took me 10 years to be selected for Gunnery Sergeant of Marines, but it only took me a week to pick up Gunny on Resistance online. So much easier! haha.

Eddy,
We are looking at coming in for the weekend around March 2, think you would be up for company? Or you could just nap, while we goof off.

Keep up the hard napping, your body needs it. The family appears to be feeding you well. I remember your mom's apple pie…yummm! Take care, you are in our thoughts constantly.
