New Situation

Tues. Aug 28, 4:00 pm. Today at the Laurence Rockefeller Pavilion of Memorial Sloane Kettering on 53rd Street I had a consult with a Liver specialist, Dr. William Larnigan, Hepatobiliary (thats an SAT word if I ever saw one!!). He negates the Gall Bladder concern but wants to do a dedicated MRI on the Liver because there is an infinitesimal spot and he needs to look closer to see if it's (hopefully) benign. If not, he'll do a biopsy with a needle through the skin. Fair enough. So, we'll be back to NYC Thursday morning, I should know more Thursday afternoon, I think. Also, both he and Dr. Berman needed blood tests today, so 2 trips to the 4th floor there (I'm still challenging the phlebotomists....the 1st hole didn't work, #'s 2 and 3 were beautiful as blood sucking goes). As for the rest of my life, Carol and I had a beautiful visit with Dawn and Jerry, Angie and John yesterday at the Lake. Sunday we checked out "Talk to Me", good movie, historical. Saturday a fine party at Randi and Glenns for the kids August birthdays. Delicious. Daily I get stronger and more normal. Had "Redman" reaction to the anti-fungal which is itchy and uncomfortable, but I finished those pills last night and will take a Benadryl tonight if the itchiness bothers me. My bass is sounding beautiful but I'll have some adjustments made soon on the bridge, fingerboard etc. Enjoying all the guitars, strumming D tuning. Fooling with Salsa keyboard voicings etc. Want to spend more time on Salsa basslines. Readying sketches for printing, framing, showing etc. Adding more, playing more with colors etc (thanks Matt and Erica). Reading George Carlin in between fits of laughter. Still miss Woodstock, maybe soon. Brother Bruce created a beautiful letter featuring Raswan and me for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society appeal. Way to go Bro. Riv and Greg run next weekend. Wow!!! Amazing stuff.
Gotta go nap. Peace. JIMBO
