Good on you.

Any good Irishman would ask for a dram a day too. Helps with the appetite, wards of colds. Here the docs prescribe it if you are in a home. The nurses keep the bottle of Black Bushmillls, remember it's not booze it's an appetite and mood enhancer.

I was working on a song for you but I've got some dang thing grew in my neck. 3 weeks ago a pea, now an inch and a half around, pushing my windpipe, jugular and carotid artery. Sounds like Wednesdays concert with the brass band is out, time will tell.
I had an ultrasound.
2 days later a chest xray.
2 days later a CT scan and another with glow in the dark dye.
The surgeon is back on Monday, I think he went golfing in SC, but there's another on standby and they gave me all my medical records and powers of attorney.

Not to be pessimistic, but at 20 years lymphoma is a legislated disease for firefighters, meaning I get a lump sum, a pension increase, and croaking payments. I just hope the radiation won't mess with my beautiful off key bass baritone.

I said about an irish friend of mine in the nursing home about him being senile. Nurse says, he's not senile as much as sneaky smart about getting his hand up yer dress. HA....

Bonne chance or Good Luck.
