I'm joining those praying for you John. And I'm asking that the Lord reveals himself to you in a way that speaks your individual spiritual language, or dialect, or whatever it is that makes you see Him in your life and currently very challenging circumstances.
Cheers from over the water.
John

John, my cancer was exactly like that. Tumor in my lymph node was a secondary, no sign of the primary tumor anywhere. 6 months after the surgery to remove my lymph nodes, the primary tumor emerged on the back of my tongue. It was just too small to be detected earlier. It's there, the docs just can't see it yet.

Chin up, John and hang in there! My uncle died of cancer in his mid 50s because he wouldn't do anything about it. My father had cancer in his 70s and got rid of it with no problem - he just felt a bit dizzy from the chemo but he is ok now. I had suspect cancer 4 years ago (in my 40s) but it turned out to be a phantom case. Get better soon and keep laughing!

My wife and I took a weekend trip to Toronto. It's about 1.5 hours away. Got a really nice hotel room. Did a few walking trips, shopping, and chilling. We had a fancy meal, I ate some of it, you shouldn't have a tonsil out when your are going to be 60 next bday. Almost a week and it's still keeping me from really eating, although I choked down a couple of crepes filled with crab and cheese. Had a nice time all around, and I loved driving the Mini is the streets with the street car tracks, cars parked all over, squeezing through places no one else can go.
This 1/2 boost 1/2 coffee diet is really making me drop the pounds.

Now the humour from the weekend.
Staying in a huge hotel brings you in contact with some people from 'elsewhere'. The wife went to the parking garage to get my hat and cane. (The drugs make me a tad unstable at times, so the cane is a 3rd point to keep me up!). It was a bit cool, and windy. We decided to take a walk.
I'm sitting on a nice couch, the big flowers in front of us, the valets and doormen a few feet away. A woman about 45 or so with lots of makeup and fancy clothes sits beside me, well other end of the couch. I spot Marbourhoughs (American smokes sp?) sticking out of her purse. She turns to me and says "Want go out for fresh air and a cigarette?" I smile and say, "I gave up the cigarette and I'm just waiting for my Nurse to come back with my hat and cane." She says, "Nurse". I pull out a piece of paper, actually it is the list of emergency contact numbers and the other numbers at the cancer clinic, the chemo nurse the radiation nurse, the surgical nurse, the primary care nurse, the after hours nurse etc. "Yup I say, I have a bit of a problem with cancer, but the health plan give me a bunch of nurses, and this one will go away with me if I take a vacation."....
"Must be expensive"...she says.
"No, this is Canada, it's part of the coverage."
"The wife shows up in her best dress, heels, nice short red coat, looks about 35... and says "here's your cane and hat honey you up for a walk."
I turn to the woman who was trying to pick me up and say.."I thought about ditching her and going with you for a walk, but now I think I'd better take the nurse...she knows what to do in case..." and get up and leave.
I swear I can't help myself LOL.

Good one John. I just don’t understand when someone puts fresh air and cigarettes in the same sentence, i.e. "Want go out for fresh air and a cigarette?". Talk about an oxymoron

Loved it John. Nothin' wrong with the gall in your system, Mr Conley. Quote:
Talk about an oxymoron
Right you are Mario - there are lotsa
morons in Toronto. Gotta hold your breath entering most major office buildings.
Bars, restaurants, public gathering places are forcing the choking smokers outside.
Now it's beaches and parks in Vancouver.
John - you and your wife make quite a team - like to meet her this summer when
I visit friends in London.
Cheers - Ian

John,
That is terribly funny. I can imagine that this is an American woman, possibly a bimbette, but more likely some middle-aged divorcee who is going to come back and tell all her friends that in Canada their Universal Health Care system is WAAAAAAAAAY better than Obamacare, and we should all get nurses, too!
You're going to start a revolution down here, John, and the few of us who read this will know the ugly truth....it was all a JOKE!
But, I would have loved to have been there to see the look on her face when you told her that.
GOOD ONE!
Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Actually the traveling nurse is a joke, but the rest is too real. I have about 20 phone numbers, nurses first, docs, specialists, diet consultants, emergency contacts etc. And given the speed it all happened the complainers have some sort of slow moving problem that the docs know to put on the back burner for someone like myself.
My favorite traveling sicko story involves Swedes I saw in Toronto about 10 years ago. Their national hockey team was playing a series of Canadian junior teams. The hotel had 3 buses full of 'fans'. I found out they were all being treated for depression, and sent to travel with the team as a therapeutic thing. I thought they were funning me, but I asked others on another bus what was wrong with the people in the other bus as they were standing outside and they said, "oh, we are all depressed over the long winter and our doctors sent us on a trip, we had a choice of 3."
OK, so that's a level of socialist medicine we will never see here...LOL.
Are we having fun yet?

So they chose to come to Canada to watch their hockey team lose? What were the other two choices, I wonder? LOL

1. Go to Washington D.C. to watch Congress try to figure out what they are doing
or
2. Go boating off the Somali coast

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
