    I've not really hidden the fact that I've not in the best of health as of late and had a few visits with a surgeon this month.

    Things are looking much better after yesterdays (7/26) trip under the knife.

    I really appreciate all the kinds words from many of you along with the well wishes and support.

    Without getting into the gory details this is whats going on and a little timeline.

    At MOTD there was an incident of blood flowing in fluids that they should not be flowing in normally. After talking to a few of you there that have health care backgrounds and personal experience in this matter I did go see a doc as soon as I got back.

    Tests were run, referrals were proffered.

    They looked, they saw a growth were a growth should not be.

    1st attempt to remove was stymied by the position of said growth and the fact the instrument used could not access that area properly. They also had a much better view of the growth at that time too. I was then referred to a specialists specialist. I likened it as being bumped to level 3 support.

    2nd attempt seems to have gone well. I'm now in the mentally taxing wait period to find out if more procedures will be needed.

    Here's to hoping chemo is not in the cards!

    Again, I'd like to thank you for all the support and your understanding if things around here on M/A are not being handled in my normally speedy manner.

    Get better Nathan, sorry to hear about the issues. I have not noticed any lack of service on M/A, so you are coping well.

    I hope you can bypass the chemo route, not a fun experience.

    Hey Nathan, thanks for the update. You know we're all hoping for the best. As we get older we gotta take better care of ourselves. Good luck and we'll keep our fingers crossed.

    Glad the procedure went well. Fingers crossed about not having to have further treatment.

    Sending good thoughts your way. It has been 10 years since I had a similar situation and I remember how stressful it can be waiting for the "all clear" prognosis.
