Good show, Kendall ! Must be all the lobsters did you good, and perhaps a bit of help from the whisky, and support from your charming bride, with a soupcon of cantankerousness. Keep healing - Tom

We have had the best news ever today!

A call from the doctor's office confirms that the spot is just a callus and the cancer has not returned.

Deep sigh of relief all round. Thank you to all of you for your love and concern. We both appreciate all your caring.

Machias is a local Indian name meaning "Bad Little Falls"

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned?
From: Deckman
Date: 13 Jul 05 - 07:18 PM

Machias (one "C?") eh? Kendall, we also have a "Machias" out here in Washington state. It's actually only about a 20 minute drive from my home.

My memory says that as the loggers and lumberjacks moved across the Northern states, clearcutting everything that grew, they took their towns with them. As a result, we have many Machias's, Portland's, Saginaw's, Clearwater's (that's where Bride Judy grew up), etc.

CHEERS, and like everyone else here ... best wishes! Bob(deckman)Nelson

Thanks for the update! Great news that he still thinks it's a callous. But another two weeks of the waiting game....AAARRRGGHH!! Well, that gives us another two weeks to visualize that callous shrinking away to nothing. Every bit of positivve thinking helps. Lots coming from here. Love to you both!

More best wishes from Köln to both of you. I believe both the immigration hearing and the biopsy will produce exactly the results you want.

Subject: RE: BS: Has the beast returned?
From: jacqui.c
Date: 13 Jul 05 - 01:49 PM

The ENT man has said that the thing hasn't grown and that he is pretty sure it is a callus. However, to be on the safe side, Kendall will be having a scope/biopsy on August 1st, under general anaesthetic. We will get the results on August 10th.

In the meantime there are good things happening - the lobster sing, Champlain Valley festival where he will get together with his old friend Utah Phillips,and the Jed Marum house concert. We're also trying to fit in a trip DownEast to his hometown of Macchias. I've also got my immigration hearing coming up next week, so there is a lot to keep us both occupied.

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes - your thoughts are much appreciated. The love and caring that exists on this site is the main reason why I, for one, keep coming back.

Hope is am ambiguous little bastard, isn't it?

According to Greek mythology, Epimetheus (Afterthought), brother of Prometheus (forethought), married Pandora. She came with a dowery and a mysterious chest which he was forbidden to open. He, of course, impulsively opened the box and unleashed all manner of evil upon humankind - pestilence, war, sickness, etc. But in the bottom of the box Hope remained.

So, is Hope the worst of all evils? And if not an evil why was it in the box? And why did it stay?

Stuff like this keeps me awake at night.

I visualize your throat and vocal chords perfectly healthy and pink, Captain. I hear you singing and story telling and being your old self, cranky as all get out but happy and healthy.

Mary

Inquiring minds in Idaho await the answer! Well, no, actually just me. I think I'm the only inquiring mind in Idaho. At least in the part. There might be others. To be fair, I suppose I should say that I'm awaiting the answer.

Rename "The Beast" "That Annoying Little Insect!" And here's more unsolicited advice: stay away from alcohol! (we'll make sure there is still some left for you later-well, we'll try!) it dehydrates tissues. Drink lots of good water. Tincture of Licorice is very good and soothing for the throat (I use it and can attest to the fact).(There are other healing supplements if you're interested or so inclined, but this is the most soothing I know) Don't mess around, stop talking and singing immediately! Let it heal so you can get back to normal, or you may be facing something worse and/or permanent! We are all pulling for you, and I am praying you have a full recovery, maybe even a cooler sound when this is over! You can do it!
