Good news and band news,

The good news, for some, is i'm not dying. two growths have proven non cancerous, in fact one wasn't a growth at all but an oddly shaped bone below the Lymphnode. the other is a benign cyst which the doctor offered to 'lance' but the image of the him suited in armour charging towards my..um..nether region was a little discomforting so I nixed the idea.

The bad news for others is, i'm not dying. But, keep hope alive, my blood pressure is through the roof and with my luck streak where its at i may die an impossibly stupid and embarassing death yet.

I'm off to celebrate by slipping into a nice warm semi-coma, haven't..whats the word...slept, that's it, slept in ages.

I don't think you look like a terrorist! I think your look says 'can you handle this? You can't handle this!' (sort of a Jack Nicolson thing)


And I'm glad you're ok - well physically that is..have you thought about seeing a shrink? LOL Just kidding. (If you want to come and lie on my couch you can. I'm not a shrink but I can take notes and ask you 'why do you think that is?')

Raph - I am so glad that you are okay. Now have a good night's sleep.
Oh, and I think you look like you could rip your t-shirt off and yell at the bottom of a staircase on a rainy, humid night..."Stella!" You have that young Marlon Brando thing goin' on.   hugs, Chris

* first off, all I'd like to tell you're all insane

Martie sorry i missed you first time around, thanks for and i'll be you're good luck charm anyday

lol K, well i'm not 'stunted gorilla' hairy but i'm hairy enough. i just hate shaving, it's been about 4 months since i've actually had a proper shave

PDV I do look like a terrorist. Mustafah Raph Ael. and i think it's more of 'can you handle this' in an 'elephant man' kind of way, but thanks. as for lying on your couch well, only if it's an inappopriate proposition

hugs bella, i know i'm not going anywhere..damnit. they're really should be 5 year contracts, serenity and i spoke about this along time ago. I want to renegotiate the terms of this life cause i'm getting jipped

thanks red, larvae you too

Chris LOL you're insane, a modern Marlon Brando maybe

why thank you kindly muted, i wouldn't say good and well but good enough to keep gasping for breath

I am also delighted your results were so good, and now you can relax.  I can not think of one thing that is more stressful than waiting to hear results of a biopsy, not one!  Now, you can get down to the business of living out the rest of your life as that rebel the girls think you are   Now go enjoy!

I'm so glad for that news!!! *S* Misery does love company, you know... so stick around and suffer with the rest of us... it'll feel much less like suffering... for us, at least. *G*

And the pic is great... I couldn't help but chuckle at your terrorist comments... for we spent the last family reunion trying to persuade my favorite cousin to let us turn him in (his resemblance to Osama bin Laden is downright eerie! LOL)... we could all retire and live well on the reward... and after all... aren't families supposed to be willing to sacrifice for one another? LOL

I know... we're warped. LOL He wouldn't let me check him for fleas, either. *G*

LOL, and now, it's the doctor's bill that might make you ill.
I am very happy that you might get to be an old man after all. Some great writes come from our older men, such as Balladeer and  Captain Hair. LOL

thanks Kacy, luckily i'm covered by canadian health care, although, thanks to a recent budget they've  introduced user fees. morons. don't know where'd i'd be without it considering the MRIs x-rays and CTscans over the course of the last two years would have costed somewhere in the thousands.
