Captain,
No two people should worry about the same thing at the same time. It is a waste of time and energy. I can name a few dozen people worried about you this time around so that means you get to concentrate on healing. Just relax and go to sleep and when you wake up it will be all over. Once you know the outcome, you can deal with it.
Whine away, Sweetie.
One of those few times everyone will listen.

***OFF TOPIC ALERT***

Yeah Kendall, I read it.......badly........LOL.....But I thought that in the long string of posts that talked about cat scans, YOU were referring to cat scans and not the surgery. I saw your sentence at the end of the post but somehow I still thought you wewre referring to cat scans with the Murtha remark. I humbly apologize. I'm such an asshole.........I just oooze crappola............**sigh**........

I read a book once that gave evidence that patients who bitched and whined and were generally unsatisfied with everything did a lot better than those who just sucked it up and were nice. I'm not making this up (but I don't remember the book title.)

So keep complaining. The medical people are trained to understand patients and your friends are used to it. Love you, old fart.

If the docs get anywhere NEAR your gall bladder or intestines you might possibly need a bunch of new doctors, maybe perhaps.

The whole bunch of you are going to end up in the CELLAR! if you don't behave. Auntie SINS is in charge (self appointed) while Jacqui is squiring Kendall around Boston. And WE are not amused!

Push for a private room, Captain. Make a total nuisance of yourself if you have to. You don't need some old crank with a TV turned up to wake the dead watching hockey games.

Jacqui is good at sorting that sort of thing out. Go for the liver, Jacqui!

Things are rarely the way we pre-judge them (Of course, sometimes they are worse:) but very often when we come out on the other side we say, Well, that wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be.

But whine away- as the man said, Worry counts for somep'n.

"If the docs get anywhere NEAR your gall bladder or intestines you might possibly need a bunch of new doctors, maybe perhaps."

But Rap, you know there are folks who have their heart in their throat so heart surgery might have to be performed through the neck. Now if Kendall goes in there in a bad mood with his head up his ass, then it could happen, maybe perhaps.

Kendall's head is squarely (squirrelly?) on his shoulders where it belongs.   As the hernia patient said to the surgeon, "Gol dern it, while yer down there don't go messin' with things that don't concern ya."

Headed home from work in a minute. Had hoped we would hear something by now but if he is in Recovery, Jacqui has her hands full. And I guess we don't know when the surgery started.
I'll check in from home.

We just returned from Boston and my routine exam with Doctor Zeitels. Again no sign of cancer and he is very pleased. Next visit is in April, so they are coming further apart each time.

He also told us that I am probably going to be the subject of an article in the New England Journal of Medicine for the work we are doing.

The big hold up now is funding. This research requires huge amounts of money, and it's a catch 22 situation. He has to offer evidence that what he wants to do will work, and the only way he can do that is to do the research which costs money! It's like if you want to borrow money from a back you must show that you don;t need it.
