I got good news and bad news, Capt'n...

So I sat down for a bigass chat with the bigass Big Guy and He hummed and hawed and finally said the He weren't ready to have you in Heaven 'cause yer a trouble maker so He's gonna leave ya' down here... That's the good news... I guess???

Oh, the bad news??? He says He ain't gonna do much fir yer voice until ya' think up some new stories...

That's the bigass truth, Capt'n... That's the word of God HisBigassSelf!!!

Hey, it feels like a party going on in here!~!!

Let's toast to the good news! Let's all join together and raise a glass (of anything) at- say......8 pm Maine time, 4pm Alaska time, etc..... (that way, the Captain will still be awake to join in).

Here's to the Captain - for a swift and complete recovery, and to his wonderful wife, Jacqui, for being right by his side through it all!

And to.......(fill in the blank)

Don't forget - all of us together at 8 pm Maine time!

No, not crying "Wolf" -- thoroughly understandable feeling of getting kicked in the teeth (again).

Good news that your doctor is optimistic -- and that he truly seems to care about YOU personally, not just as a patient.

Kendall my dear, supposedly all this AFGO* builds character -- but I really thought you were enough of a character already.

Hugs (with or without your jacket),

I know this is a complete bummer but it could have been worse. Just imagine finding a new growth in a few months as you 'thought' the treatment was nearing an end! At least at this point it will only be relatively small and probably easier to deal with.

Whatever has been decided for us in our growing will happen. Treat it with the fortitude you already have and you'll be a winner whatever.

Lots of love and healing hugs

Cletus, sometimes we all feel like shit. You have to get up, shoo the flies away, pick out the bits of corn and watch out for dung beetles, then just pull yourself together and roll on.

I think maybe the kid yelled 'wolf' because he saw a wolf. Nobody else saw it so they thought he was just looking for attention for himself... right up until the time it et a sheep.

Sometimes, there really is a wolf.

Kendall, I held off posting to this mostly because everyone seemed to be saying what I wanted to say but better, but now that the "eastern sky seems to be lightening" I will say, we are pulling for you,we have been pulling for you, and will continue to do so, all of your friends and we are looking to a happy outcome even if only to hear your choice of colourful language when you are working around the place or cursing out those doctors!!!

Captain,
You didn't cry "Wolf". This was supposed to be a fairly routine surgery giving you your voice back. Instead it turned into more of the same old shit. At least this time, they know exactly how to treat it - no screwing around for a year with radiation, for example.
And a doctor who puts his diagnosis in writing! Wow. You're going to be OK. Now if we could only improve your disposition...
