Just got home from the hospital. In the course of doing the tests, what they found was a tumor on my colan. Good news is that there are stong indications that it's a recent development and probably hasn't spread. I'll see my surgeon on this coming Wednesday and will probably be back in surgery in the next week or two. Thank God they at least found what the problem was. It was only by chance that I let my cardiologist know about my shortness of breath causing the tests to be done in the first place.

Any good thoughts are appreciated and Mrs. and I are still planning on PAGAN 09 and a nephew's wedding this weekend in Chicago. We're in good spirits and very optimistic.

Want very much to thank PF for briefing you guys on what happened and his son continues in our daily prayers. PF, you're a good friend ... thank you.
