In Which We Have Good News

A couple o' few days ago we indicated we'd get the results (today) of the indignities visited upon us in Lubbock last week, and so we did.  We'll make a long story as short as possible: my biopsy was "benign," which is to say everythang is normal.  Dr. V held out his hand at the conclusion of my appointment and said "Congratulations."  As if **I** had anythang to do with it... or perhaps I did, in that we were about as positive as positive can get over the past few days.  That, and the fact that I KNOW all y'all sent your best thoughts and prayers my way.

It worked.

That said... Jack, Ginger, and Eric speak for me:



Yes, we are... and we've knocked back a couple o' beers to celebrate.

Now it's off to make the blog-rounds which we haven't done, as yet.

  2. Yeah... I didn't get around until late, either, because of the indignity of having the power shut off.

  5. OT but I kinda sorta put up a tribute to you and your boys over at my place. If you read the post I reckon you'll figure out why. (Not that I'm pimping my own blog... Well, yes I am. No graceful way out of that is there?)

  6. It's always so nice to hear that a prayer was answered in the affirmative. Congrats, Buck.

    (I was thinking, though, with the sorts of business that doc does, shaking hands with him might not be my idea of a good time.)

  10. Bah, they'll find you dead on the sofa with a cigar in the ashtray, an empty booze bottle, and a headband from a hippie you met at the truck-stop who promised you a trip around the world.

  15. Fan-damn-tastic news Buck!!! Good news from a doctor about something that could be serious - is such a welcome relief.
