The latest

Tues. 9/5/07 11:30 am. Just rec'd a phone call from Dr. Berman with a report from Dr. Jarnigan. The MRI is not totally conclusive, and he wants to biopsy the liver. The spot is on the 2nd segment; it could be a remnant of a fungal infection (remember I'm just finishing with a fungal pneumonia, for which I undergo another (it's easy) CT Scan on Monday at 6:30 pm).
or, it could be the second location of a different cancer, not Leukemia. So that is what they have to (hopefully) rule out. So, I've called to try to have the biopsy done this week if possible. I expect a call back today. I'm available Friday so with luck we'll do it then.
Meantime, we are playing with a band of friends tomorrow for the seniors pool party, then Thursday we go with Ronnie to have our good upright basses worked on. I'm seeing 3 or 4 students this week and am trying to get back into my routine. SwingTown rehearsals begin tomorrow night, and tonight, Tuesday, for my 1st time, I join the Contemporary Artists Forum here at 1978, our Maplewood Art Gallery, where I hope to share and get reactions/critiques etc. about what I'm doing with my pastels. I'll go now to Jerrys to get a few more frames to prepare for tonight. Yeah, I'm still busy a bit, but I'm enjoying new areas of interest. The guitars are coming along. I was sharing with Matthew (who by the way is now doing some wonderful pastels) and Debra some tunes in open D tuning on Peters guitar.
And Greg and Rebekah had a wonderful Run on Sunday in Virginia Beach. Kids, and friends all had a wonderful time, Beck and Greg a good run, AND they won a raffle which includes free air tix and hotel to the next run of their choice. They are checking the guidelines for the raffle and if it fits I vote for Hawaii!!! Let's hope so. Great fun. The diner awaits. See you soon. JIMBO
