Greetings from Sloan at 7:30 am

sitting in a lounge on the 5th floor...signs everywhere "best cancer care anywhere" feel so sureal....surgery went as well as could be expected,,,,now we wait a few days for additional biospy results....
looks like i have two options that may play out 1. loose the bladder and reconstruct one using my intestine..( how freaking cool is that) or 2. chemotherpy to rid it from my body,,,will not know this for a few days.......had to wait in waiting room hours in a gown for 4.5 hours due to a operation room shortage,,,,,got in to bed at around 9insh still did not eat or drink all day...finally a TV dinner arrives at 11 o'clock i think it was salisbury steak ... a tv dinner... have not had one in a long time ...it was invented in 1954 i think the same year i was born..man i have come a long way,,,my suite mate was a snorer and i almost pulled his plug but i thought better of it.....just had a new york bagel thanks to susan this morning..did not get much sleep n here and when i did they woke me to check my vitals...go figure....well at least they pulled the tube out of me....try turning over with that inside you...
thanks for all the great comments.....will make a good book someday

well, better late than never to join the party, right?!? (kinda like we do in Vegas, huh?) i've been reading all along with ya'll from the beginning..hello and love to everybody i know in here, and those i don't, who all love this man and what he is all about.
T-Cheff, i didn't want to take your guitar strap off the other day- i put it on doobe's les paul, cranked it up, and a bit of magic came through... maybe can even get you a recording (!@$##%#@)- might could use it as sound therapy, pain management or you could just ask me to pull my own plug!!
Strap is on its way home to it's real daddy! love ya, bro!
