Abdul

"Ring this bell

Three times well

the toll to clearly say:

My treatments are done

Its course has run

and I am on my way"

The bell mocked me from the other side of the waiting area in the newly built facility as I walked in that first day. Though the atrium, right outside the doors, was flooded with sunlight pouring in, this comfortable room relied on unnatural bulbs. The snack bar in the corner was fully stocked with processed foods and high fructose drinks. This always felt odd to me. Why would they offer such unhealthy options to people who are trying to get healthy?

I wanted to run up and grab the cord attached to the clapper and ring that bell. More than three times. I wanted to ring it until everyone in the waiting room looked over. I didn't want to wait until my 30 treatments were done. In fact, I didn't want to have thirty treatments. Thirty more treatments. On top of the thirty and thirty I had already faced.

Radiation sucks. And I am so terrified of it. In a way that surgery doesn't scare me. How will my body stand up to this toxic beam that is destroying this mapped out area of my face and neck? What side effects will I suffer due to the unknown? Will radiation follow the path of DDT?

One doctor is convinced that my right jawbone died because of the two full rounds of radiation it endured. We will never know. Cancer attacked the bone and it's gone. To where, I have no idea. A medical research laboratory? An incinerator? Gone. Would the same happen to my left bone?

I knew what the next six weeks, plus six months would hold. Pain. Loss of appetite. Taste changes. Pushing back on doctors. Dry mouth. Fatigue. Extreme fatigue. I had done it before and I didn't want to do it again. But my doctors held out hope for a cure, and the Lord knows I would have done anything at that point. So, radiation it was.

The unfortunate fact (although at that time it seemed most facts were quite unfortunate), was that this amazing new, state of the art, medical facility was approximately 90 miles from my home. And I had to go there every day, Monday through Friday, for six weeks. Thirty trips.

Jan came over in the July heat with her notebook. "How can we help? What do you need?" The most pressing issues: child care, meals, and rides to Rochester. She took the needs and ran. Ran to friends, family, strangers, searching for help. I had no idea how I was going to get to treatment each day while carrying the burden of side effects.

My people responded, just as they have every time. So many wanted to help, but most had jobs that kept them from being able to physically drive me to my daily appointments. Jan worked with the responders and coordinated dates and times while I checked into transportation options to fill in all the gaps. There was a shuttle that ran from the Mall of America, but I would still have to get myself to the mall and find a parking space, which I knew might be more than I could handle on some days. Hell, it's right up there with about as much as I can handle most days. Not to mention the cost: $800. I knew that people would want to help with the cost, but boy am I tired of asking for help. I even checked into daily flights from MSP to Rochester. Wasn't there some high-level executive, some Mayo doctor that flew his own plane in each morning with an extra seat for me? Not the most safe of all options, but I wouldn't complain. Now, that would have been the good life.

I voiced my concerns to the social worker who had been assigned to help me. "How do people do it?" I implored. "It's impossible."

Karen gave me a number to call. There was a possibility that my insurance could help, she said. Medical transportation.

I called. I was approved. From August of 2016 to August of 2017, my insurance would help me get to every doctor's appointment that I needed to.

It was hard to wrap my head around this amazing gift. I would have my own personal driver that would drive me to Mayo each day. The story was worth sharing with everyone I met. It felt like a miracle. I didn't even know this benefit existed and now I don't have to worry about driving or coordinating a ride or finding some millionaire with a plane. Even now, months later, as I think back on this, it feels unreal. And while I have been so angry with God over my lot in life, this feels like He handed me a diamond. He pried my tight fists open and laid this jewel on my palm.

I set up my transportation as the start date grew closer. I didn't have any preference for a transportation company, so they just set me up with any old one. Days later, I wondered if this company happened to have the availability for a reason.

They continuously showed up late, even after I would call them that morning to remind them I needed a ride. The drivers didn't speak much English, which isn't the most horrible of sins, but when you are car sick and need to get out of the vehicle immediately, English is pretty important. Speed limits were mere suggestions to them. One of my drivers wove around cars on 35W going 80 MPH (where the speed limit is 55). I asked him to slow down, recalling the previous car sickness as well as the highway patrol cars that line the path to Rochester.

"I'm just trying to get you to your appointment on time!", he sharply replied.

"Well, if you had been on time to pick me up, you wouldn't need to speed," I responded. "Please slow down!"

I can't remember the exact number of chances I gave them. It may have been four or five. I called the transportation coordinator back and told them I needed rides from a different company, citing my complaints.

That night I got a call from an unfamiliar 651 number.

"Hello, my name is Abdul, and I will be picking you up tomorrow to drive you to the Mayo Clinic."

It certainly was nice of him to call the night before, but would he actually remember to pick me up the next day? I had very low expectations.

The sky was overcast and gray the next morning when a silver van pulled up in front of my condo building. There was a sign on the side, noting the name of the medical transportation company. I cautiously climbed inside.

The driver introduced himself in a kind, accented voice. I think I thanked him for being on time and mentioned my past experience with medical transportation. As we merged onto 35W, I asked this stranger if he was planning to be my permanent driver or if it might change day-to-day. He responded that if I wanted him to drive me each day, he would. I thanked him, but then feared that I had too quickly signed on with this unknown person. What if he ate stinky food really loudly during the entire ride? Or subjected me to techno music? Or was a serial killer that was looking for his next victim?

Abdul carried on a very polite conversation as we drove south. I can't remember what I shared about myself, but I remember learning about his family, the places he lived, his love for travel, his previous employment, and so many other topics. I despise small talk, but I truly enjoyed learning about this new person.

Other than being about the same age, we couldn't have been more different. After being born in Ethiopia and living in Africa for several years, his family relocated to The Netherlands. Then, after his father passed away, his mother and siblings all moved to Minnesota. I, on the other hand, had spent my entire life in the good ol' US, never travelling to explore new cultures or lands. I tried to keep track of his siblings, but between my painkillers and the fact that he had what seemed to be siblings upon siblings upon half-siblings, it was no easy feat. Compared to my one brother and one sister, holidays at his home sounded quite a bit more exciting. Different religions. Different personalities. Different backgrounds. Different life experiences. Different careers. Other than our October birthdays, there wasn't much we had in common.

And yet, these rides became the high point of my day. Some days I slept, but most days we talked. We spent the drive discussing politics, cancer, family, and travel. I introduced him to Etsy. He introduced me to the newest models of cars as he debated what type he would buy next. We spent many hours while he educated me on Islamic holy days and the inter workings of his small business. I educated him on cancer and radiation treatments. With the election on the horizon, we discussed the joke known as Donald Trump and our disbelief that he had supporters.

I never had to call to remind him that I needed a ride to Rochester; he was organized and kept track of my appointment times. He always pulled up to my curb with the headrest of the front passenger seat pulled off, so I could see out the windshield in an attempt to avoid the dreaded motion sickness. When pain drove me to the ER, he offered me a ride in his silver van. Always reliable, always kind.

I thought I knew what to expect when I went through radiation. I knew all the negative side effects and pain that would follow from this treatment. I had done it before. Didn't I call myself a "cancer expert" with an air of arrogance and sarcasm? And yet, I hadn't expected that deep in the heaviness of fighting for my life, I would meet a stranger who would become an ally.

So, when day 30 of my radiation treatments arrived, I knew Abdul needed to celebrate with me. He had put in almost as much work as I had, driving hours upon hours to make sure I reached my appointments safely and on time. This was his victory too.

After that final blast of the radiation beam, I walked out into the waiting area and stood near the bell, waiting for Abdul to join me. Once there, I grabbed the cord and rang it "loud and clear", wanting the whole world to know what I had accomplished. What we had accomplished. My treatment was done and as the poem reads, "I was on my way." Literally. With a new friend.

Afternoon MAGAthread: YOUR WEEKLY PRESIDENTIAL RECAP!

HAPPY SATURDAY PATRIOTS!

This is u/Ivaginaryfriend here and I'm back with all things spicy and dank from the past week! For those that missed any past recaps you can check those out here!

Sunday, January 27th:

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID! @foxandfriends

We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392. There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS

Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, just stated that because of me NATO has been able to raise far more money than ever before from its members after many years of decline. It’s called burden sharing. Also, more united. Dems & Fake News like to portray the opposite!

(Retweeting ChatByCC) Strong people stand up for themselves—but stronger people stand up for others. Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for standing up for America.

Thank you to Brit. This is a very big deal in Europe. Fake News is the Enemy of the People!

(Retweeting Ken Paxton) VOTER FRAUD ALERT: The @TXsecofstate discovered approx 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in TX, approx 58,000 of whom have voted in TX elections. Any illegal vote deprives Americans of their voice.

(Retweeting The GOP) “300 people are dying from heroin overdoses a week in this country, 90% of it is coming over the southern border… We’ve got to stop it.”—@KellyannePolls

#HolocaustMemorialDay

BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!

Never thought I’d say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC! Look to final results! Don’t know how my poll numbers are so good, especially up 19% with Hispanics?

After all that I have done for the Military, our great Veterans, Judges (99), Justices (2), Tax & Regulation Cuts, the Economy, Energy, Trade & MUCH MORE, does anybody really think I won’t build the WALL? Done more in first two years than any President! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

Aaaaahaha, Wikileaks putting NYT in their place.

r/politics is propaganda. Their target is us.

Kamala Harris literally prostituted her body to obtain positions of power within the United States government. Then she joined the #MeToo movement and accused Kavanaugh of being a rapist. Now she’s running for President

This is an actual tweet by an actual congressman.... Mark Dice throwing a little shade

Executive Order on Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency with Respect to Venezuela

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

Tariffs on the “dumping” of Steel in the United States have totally revived our Steel Industry. New and expanded plants are happening all over the U.S. We have not only saved this important industry, but created many jobs. Also, billions paid to our treasury. A BIG WIN FOR U.S.

Numerous states introducing Bible Literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible. Starting to make a turn back? Great!

Howard Schultz doesn’t have the “guts” to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the “smartest person.” Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!

“In the Media’s effort to destroy the President, they are actually destroying themselves. Given all of the tremendous headwinds this President has faced, it’s amazing he has accomplished so much.” DEROY MURDOCK @foxandfriends I agree!

In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!

How does Da Nang Dick (Blumenthal) serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee when he defrauded the American people about his so called War Hero status in Vietnam, only to later admit, with tears pouring down his face, that he was never in Vietnam. An embarrassment to our Country!

Accurate as hell

This is why I like a small federal government.

Tuesday, January 29th:

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

A low level staffer that I hardly knew named Cliff Sims wrote yet another boring book based on made up stories and fiction. He pretended to be an insider when in fact he was nothing more than a gofer. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. He is a mess!

“Our economy, right now, is the Gold Standard throughout the World.” @IngrahamAngle So true, and not even close!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

GOOSEBUMPS

TODAY'S ACTION:

Two Nominations Sent to the Senate

President Donald J. Trump Announces Intent to Nominate Judicial Nominees

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

Maduro willing to negotiate with opposition in Venezuela following U.S. sanctions and the cutting off of oil revenues. Guaido is being targeted by Venezuelan Supreme Court. Massive protest expected today. Americans should not travel to Venezuela until further notice.

When I became President, ISIS was out of control in Syria & running rampant. Since then tremendous progress made, especially over last 5 weeks. Caliphate will soon be destroyed, unthinkable two years ago. Negotiating are proceeding well in Afghanistan after 18 years of fighting.. ... ....Fighting continues but the people of Afghanistan want peace in this never ending war. We will soon see if talks will be successful? North Korea relationship is best it has ever been with U.S. No testing, getting remains, hostages returned. Decent chance of Denuclearization... ... ...Time will tell what will happen with North Korea, but at the end of the previous administration, relationship was horrendous and very bad things were about to happen. Now a whole different story. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un shortly. Progress being made-big difference!

If the committee of Republicans and Democrats now meeting on Border Security is not discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier, they are Wasting their time!

“Three separate caravans marching to our Border. The numbers are tremendous.” @foxandfriends

The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond. Since ending the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, they are MUCH different, but.... ... ....a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!

Dow just broke 25,000. Tremendous news!

Spoke today with Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaido to congratulate him on his historic assumption of the presidency and reinforced strong United States support for Venezuela’s fight to regain its democracy.... ... ....Large protests all across Venezuela today against Maduro. The fight for freedom has begun!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

JUST IN: Woman who sexually assaulted Infowars reporter has been arrested.

Brad Parscale on Twitter: "Where it counts @realDonaldTrump is stronger than 2016. The fake news establishment media is not fooling these voters."

NO SHIT SHERLOCK ...

This is insanity. Seems like advocating for Post Term Abortion AKA MURDER by any standard I’m aware of. The only thing worse than what the Democrat Governor of VA said was the fact that there’s zero pushback from the host.

Trump slams Virginia Democrats over 'terrible' abortion stance

🐸 TOP SPICE OF THE DAY 🐸:

Book burnings don't always look like this...

Lion King (NY Progressive Remaster, 2019)

I'm afraid that 2019 is the year that the Supreme Court is going to be RUTHLESS

Judge Orders Release Of Sealed Records From BuzzFeed’s Dossier Lawsuit

Anytime some media company tries to run some sensational headline about MAGA being violent..new rule..always wait 3 days to get the real story.

Thursday, January 31st:

TODAY'S ACTION:

President Donald J. Trump Announces Appointments for the Executive Office of the President

Executive Order on Strengthening Buy-American Preferences for Infrastructure Projects

President Trump's Message on Securing our Border

President Trump Meets with American Manufacturers and Signs an Executive Order

President Trump Meets with the Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

So great to watch & listen to all these people who write books & talk about my presidential campaign and so many others things related to winning, and how I should be doing “IT.” As I take it all in, I then sit back, look around, & say “gee, I’m in the White House, & they’re not!

Large sections of WALL have already been built with much more either under construction or ready to go. Renovation of existing WALLS is also a very big part of the plan to finally, after many decades, properly Secure Our Border. The Wall is getting done one way or the other!

Lets just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games! A WALL is a WALL!

With Murders up 33% in Mexico, a record, why wouldn’t any sane person want to build a Wall! Construction has started and will not stop until it is finished. @LouDobbs @foxandfriends

China’s top trade negotiators are in the U.S. meeting with our representatives. Meetings are going well with good intent and spirit on both sides. China does not want an increase in Tariffs and feels they will do much better if they make a deal. They are correct. I will be...... ... ....meeting with their top leaders and representatives today in the Oval Office. No final deal will be made until my friend President Xi, and I, meet in the near future to discuss and agree on some of the long standing and more difficult points. Very comprehensive transaction.... ... ....China’s representatives and I are trying to do a complete deal, leaving NOTHING unresolved on the table. All of the many problems are being discussed and will be hopefully resolved. Tariffs on China increase to 25% on March 1st, so all working hard to complete by that date!

Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time. Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL. I’ve got you covered. Wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!

Democrats are becoming the Party of late term abortion, high taxes, Open Borders and Crime!

More troops being sent to the Southern Border to stop the attempted Invasion of Illegals, through large Caravans, into our Country. We have stopped the previous Caravans, and we will stop these also. With a Wall it would be soooo much easier and less expensive. Being Built!

Looking for China to open their Markets not only to Financial Services, which they are now doing, but also to our Manufacturing, Farmers and other U.S. businesses and industries. Without this a deal would be unacceptable!

Schumer and the Democrats are big fans of being weak and passive with Iran. They have no clue as to the danger they would be inflicting on our Country. Iran is in financial chaos now because of the sanctions and Iran Deal termination. Dems put us in a bad place - but now good!

Very sadly, Murder cases in Mexico in 2018 rose 33% from 2017, to 33,341. This is a big contributor to the Humanitarian Crisis taking place on our Southern Border and then spreading throughout our Country. Worse even than Afghanistan. Much caused by DRUGS. Wall is being built!

(Video)

Just concluded a great meeting with my Intel team in the Oval Office who told me that what they said on Tuesday at the Senate Hearing was mischaracterized by the media - and we are very much in agreement on Iran, ISIS, North Korea, etc. Their testimony was distorted press.... ... ....I would suggest you read the COMPLETE testimony from Tuesday. A false narrative is so bad for our Country. I value our intelligence community. Happily, we had a very good meeting, and we are all on the same page!

Our great U.S. Border Patrol Agents made the biggest Fentanyl bust in our Country’s history. Thanks, as always, for a job well done!

Just out: The big deal, very mysterious Don jr telephone calls, after the innocent Trump Tower meeting, that the media & Dems said were made to his father (me), were just conclusively found NOT to be made to me. They were made to friends & business associates of Don. Really sad!

Nellie Ohr, the wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr, was long ago investigating for pay (GPS Fusion) members of my family, feeding it to her husband who was then giving it to the FBI, even though it was created by ousted & discredited Christopher Steele. Illegal! WITCH HUNT

This Witch Hunt must end!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

I inherited a total mess in Syria and Afghanistan, the “Endless Wars” of unlimited spending and death. During my campaign I said, very strongly, that these wars must finally end. We spend $50 Billion a year in Afghanistan and have hit them so hard that we are now talking peace... ... ....after 18 long years. Syria was loaded with ISIS until I came along. We will soon have destroyed 100% of the Caliphate, but will be watching them closely. It is now time to start coming home and, after many years, spending our money wisely. Certain people must get smart!

Best January for the DOW in over 30 years. We have, by far, the strongest economy in the world!

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!

Great news on Foxconn in Wisconsin after my conversation with Terry Gou!

(Retweeting The White House) "We added 304,000 jobs, which was a shocker to a lot of people. It wasn't a shocker to me."

Planned Parenthood receives about $500,000,000 a year in taxpayer funds. In the most recent election, Planned Parenthood helped contribute $30,000,000 to Democrat’s campaigns. Democrat politicians are buying campaign contributions with your hard-earned money. It’s a corrupt money laundering cycle.
