Are We There Yet?

Well, it's the beginning of the week. Happy Monday to all of you. I hope everyone's day was a good one. Mine was quite "adventurous".

I have been trying to keep all of this pretty much under wraps because I really didn't know what was going to happen next.

So, therefore, I will start from the beginning. Last Wednesday, I found out that instead of being in remission, my cancer had come back. What a pain in the ass...or should I say groin!!! I had been telling Lise that I was not as optimistic as she was last week when I went to get scoped. I have a pretty good handle on what goes on with me and, sure enough, the scope indicated that it was back. Poor Dr. Levin...he was more upset than I was.

Anyway, here is the scoop. At first Dr. Levin was worried that it was aggressive this time because it looked like that to him. The biopsy indicated that it was a low grade tumor, which was good news, I guess. Unfortunately, I still had to go through all of the nerve wracking tests today such as the CT Scan with Contrast and the bone scan.

Got through that today and will be going under the knife again on Monday afternoon. The only good thing about that is the anesthesia. Best sleep I get.

Once that is all done on Monday afternoon, I get to rest on Tuesday and get back to work.

I will keep you all up to date...I promise. Everything should be okay and, since Friday, all I can say is that I am still here. I can still be with my family and friends. What could be better!!

Anyway, for all of my family and friends, here is my first funny for the blog:

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger'.

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?

'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.

'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -grass - . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?

Have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Best to all of you
