A Positive Negative

This is the best news I've had in about three weeks. The biopsy on my lymph nodes and my I-drink-too-much-Smithwick's liver came back today and were both NEGATIVE! Nothing in the lymph nodes at all, and the tumor on my liver is benign. To all of my friends who have been praying, sending meditative thoughts or just keeping my well being in your hopes, thank you.                          This doesn't mean that I won't be having surgery, but the surgeon wants to delay the surgery now for about 25 days. Again, he wants to have a clear idea of what needs to come out, and what can stay. So, the long and short of it is I will be here for the next couple of weeks. In celebration I sent Paul Hime's Fear and Loathing on the slab at the gym.....
