Update Over the past few days, Jinni has been poked and prodded just a bit.  The surgeon is trying to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of her body.  In addition, they are working to "type" her cancer so everyone knows what they are up against. Bone scan - clear.   Blood work - wonderful and red and healthy.  Chest x-ray - clear.  CT scan - next week. Oncology and radiation docs have had their people call our people (me) to set up their respective appointments. The games begin in two weeks with her first visit to oncology on November 19th. I will keep track of the costs of this whole thing and keep you posted, I'm sure it will be an obscene amount of money but what's a patient to do?  You bend over and take it and be damned glad for the bills because, as with any war, good reconissance and the best ammunition costs money. 10:02:30 PM     comments to the above post so far, join in. Work, Friends and Food I drove to Charlotte today to check on my crew and make payroll.  Things have gone very well this week in my absence. We are running about a week behind schedule - not bad for such a huge undertaking. Comments keep coming for Jinni and we are now hearing from far-flung friends who are offering their prayers and support but no meatloaf.  (Did I mention we love meatloaf?)  Many of my old Kaman Music cronies are poking their heads out and saying hello thanks to a heads-up from Don and Melissa in Nashville... OK, Melissa... make that Brentwood. I'm going to like one aspect of this cancer stuff.  Food.  Susan Edwards brought by a great meal and Kris Cooke showed up with brownies.  No one has yet brought by any Knob Creek, I hear it is a proven anti-carcinogen when fed to the spouse of the afflicted party.  (Milk it David... milk it for all its worth) Thanks one and all, it will be difficult to respond to everyone, but your love is felt. 9:41:22 PM     comments to the above post so far, join in. We have been part of Greensboro Indoor Roller Hockey for many many years.  In my opinion it is the finest sports program offered under the Greensboro Parks & Rec umbrella. Ed Hathaway, the program's long-time director, has called in the hockey troops in support of my family's upcoming warfare. 10:34:45 AM     comments to the above post so far, join in.
