Hope to see you smile later.
He also made me coffee in a mug that he really had to dig out the back corner of the cupboard.
As I type he is in the woodshop setting up today’s kitchen doors and drawer fronts to be final assembled.
I actually drove past Beaver yesterday.

Thoughts and prayers for you both!
More positive thoughts are on their way.
Hi Steve, the three of you coming for a visit is encouragement enough. I'm hanging around!Bob,
Best wishes with the plan of attack, the medics seem to have everything under control, so thoughts and prayers your way from us.
The C doesn’t know who it’s up against, Bob “come and have a go, if you think you’re hard enough” Heine.
Also, you’ve got to hang around a while yet ‘cos I reckon we’ve got one more WDW trip before the little one decides she doesn’t want to holiday with us anymore, who else we gonna come and annoy
I get my hair cut at a Turkish barbers, to finish they dip a massive QTip in methylated spirits, set it on fire and flick the flames at your ears, certainly gets the job done.You can hear the hair burning
Stay well my friend
Steve
I think your Turkish barber is on to something. Cutting that hair just encourages it to grow stronger but burning it off should force it into submission for longer.
Thanks Cody. It turned out to be another Porsche payment with the doctor just examining me and suggesting a couple of alternatives. He suggested I start taking the hormone pills and get the first hormone shot because it should make the radiation treatment more effective. I mentioned being scheduled for a colonoscopy and he wants to wait until after that procedure as well. It was supposed to happen on 9/25 but Liane's surgery was moved up from October to 9/26. She freaked out so I moved the colonoscopy to 10/10.
Rian, glad to see you made it to Oklahoma and met with the @oldironfarmer.Visiting your your brother from another mother @Bob Heine

Mike, I appreciate the visit and the support. I was hoping to meet the machine today but it was just an office visit. You would think they would stop probing me now that there's no prostate in me but I guess the doctor and I are engaged now.
Alan, thank you and I sometimes wonder if we should stop answering the phone. Liane is a natural redhead with super fair skin so she sees the dermatologist every 3 months. She went for her checkup on 8/30 and the doctor found something on her forehead. The day after Labor Day the nurse from the dermatology center called to tell Liane it's a basal cell carcinoma and it needs to be taken off by a Mohs surgeon. Apparently it's a less invasive local anesthesia surgery that removes and tests the cells to be sure all the margins are clear. She told the nurse it would have to wait until after her kidney tumor was removed and hung up.
@zanyad, I appreciate your support!
Dennis, at least we haven't been shot... yet! Just kidding, positive thoughts are greatly appreciated as much as the suggestions to my invisible friend.
Thank you Jack! Are you still an amateur retiree these days?

Dang Bob, I despise this postponement stuff! It's anxious enough for us all at times and it seems like they want to learn from lawyers about delay, delay, delay! Sorry, I am probably just expressing my own personal views. I'm sure you got this. So, take advantage of the breather. And live life!

You and Liane are certainly helping the medical fraternity keep the Porsche payments up aren't you.....?
Good to hear you appear to be happily on top of it all, and that Liane can prioritise personal bit removals very easily and of handily!
More power to both of you. And thanks for dropping by my sleepy little thread.

I don't have the foggiest what you're talking about here! I made a big mistake, or a wise decision, in the mid 80's, my father bought a first-gen Macintosh, and that was the beginning of my era not knowing anything about messing with the computers, just using them to do stuff/play on them.

If my surgical skill was better than butchering a deer for further processing, I'd offer to remove the damn tumor. But maybe doing the hormone first will make it get smaller and then it won't be so evasive or aggressive of a surgery. Just would have been nice if they told you that at the beginning instead of waiting a week or two.
Thank you Aaron. Our calendar is filling up.
Fred, I didn't expect this much rust and corrosion. Liane is getting a lot more hugs these days.
Kay, took Liane to a new cardiologist today. An 8:45 am appointment meant getting up at 7:00 and it went as expected. Our primary care physician's nurse sent all Liane's records to the cardiologist. Apparently the two offices use different systems so it wasn't available on the cardiologist's screen. Had to go through all the questions once again and fill out the usual paperwork -- all of which has to be entered by the new doctor's staff.
At noon a nurse at my Hematology Oncologist's office called and asked if I could come in for another consult at 2:00 pm at his office nine miles away. Instead of a 5-minute drive it was a half-hour traffic jam -- his office is next to a mega-school and all the former Soccer Moms were lined up in their Bentley, BMW, Mercedes and Hummer SUVs to chauffeur their precious children the four blocks to their mansion. The staff at the doctor's office were obviously well paid and in good humor, sucking blood out of my arm and sticking a needle in my ***.
Got home at 4:00 and had to head out to the Cancer Center around the corner. They had my hormone and steroid pills waiting for me to cough up some green. I did manage to get the next three appointments with that doctor and staff at the nearby Cancer Center instead of the parking lot in the next town.
Alan, I'm with you. I want to get it over with, especially for Liane. My new hormone pills say to take four 250 milligram pills an hour before I eat or two hours after and for some reason it includes the phrase: "...for 52 weeks." To add to the fun the Prednisone is to be taken twice a day with food. I'm gonna need a sign....
Lyndon, we only pay about $25,000 a year for Medicare, Supplemental, Drug and Long Term Care insurance. The incidental out of pocket drug expenses rarely exceed $5,000 so it's only partial Porsche payments. I was pleasantly surprised the one-month supply of the hormone/steroid drugs were only $175 out of pocket.
Won't be long before I can throw out my razor.
Steve, when a doctor chooses the specialty, they gotta love doing that.
@zanyad, that's why they tell you to turn your head and then cough!Ow! My eye!
@Squankum, that right there is why I'm upbeat about my tiny inconveniences.
@Squankum, I was referring to the phone thing. I can get it to do a Kardia Mobile EKG and occasionally figure out how to answer and place a call but I start to twitch when I'm in a waiting room with a group of people obsessed with their phone.
When I bought my Mac I was thrilled. It was easy to use and did what I asked it to do. Then I needed software that only ran on a Windows machine and had to get a virtual Windows installed on the Mac. The day I ran out of space on its hard drive I was SOL.
I tried my best to join but they didn't want recruits with a family in 1963 and refused to make me 4F in 1965."I love the smell of ear hair in the morning... it smells like... victory."
Emil, its moving along... slowly... but it is moving. Thanks for stopping by.Hope everything is going according to Hoyle. I’m pulling for ya buddy.
Cody, I am confident you could fix this thing I have. Once you open me up the wiring harness will be a piece of cake compared to your Camaro. I am constantly reminded why we are called patients.

When those kids graduate, those former soccer moms take care of their parents. You can tell when the switchover has happened. The Mercedes S-Class has a handicapped flag on the rear view mirror and the lone occupant jumps out of the car in a tennis outfit. I forget which comedian said: "If it weren't for disabled drivers, I'd never find a place to park."

Bob How goes the battle of life?
John, the fight continues. On the plus side, Liane and I are in no new or unusual pain and continue the daily tasks of living. I'm avoiding work outdoors because it's still hot in Hellorida (91°, 66% so it feels like 104°). I'm amusing myself with computers, networks and metal polishing tasks in my two air conditioned playrooms.

Hi Bob glad to hear you are staying inside and cool.
I like when you post up about your fiddling with those ancient pc"s.
I recall going to Lechmere's when ever Maxtor came out with new hard drives. 40mb, 80mb 200mb, i thought I was hot **** with all that memory.
I can't recall everything about my first pc. It wasn't cheap like 2500 or so 1983. DOS 2.0. Color monitor.
The good old days. Lol.

I believe (if FB is correct). I hope you and Liane are having/had a relaxing day and plenty of phone calls from kids/grandkids/great grandkids.....
I note your comment about it being hot there earlier today. Funny thing is that down here, in the third week of spring we are having a run of 35Deg C (95F) days.... They are saying it's the hottest September day on record! Apparently that's all due to change back to normal on Thursday.
Thinking of you.

Well whenever your birthday is or was hope it’s a good one and you get some cake!!
John, in the early '80s and '90s I spent a lot of time upgrading systems. My first PC was a 5150 with two floppies and 64K memory. One of the first upgrades was soldering a jumper on the motherboard and putting 256K in it. I broke down and I think I paid $399 for a 10MB hard drive that weighed several pounds. On trips to Silicon Valley I shopped for bargains in all the PC stores I could find. Same thing working for AOL in Virginia. There were a half dozen different stores in the area and I checked each one for the best prices. In the early 2000s I did most of my buying at the local CompUSA and when the store closed, shopped online at TigerDirect. Now it's all Amazon or Newegg. I got my hands on some surplus PS/2 Microchannel Token Ring cards and set up my office to run a Token Ring network. I would get it working and then make a small change to the hardware on one of the systems and the Token Ring network wouldn't recognize the machine. Every time I begin to say bad things about my Ethernet setup, I remember those Token Ring days.
Lyndon, it was indeed my birthday yesterday. Passed it very quietly with no drama, no restaurant and no party. I breathed a sigh of relief because my maternal grandfather died one month before his 79th birthday from prostate cancer complications (it often went untreated in the 1960s). Now I'm aiming for his father's record (82).Bob

It certainly has been a record-breaking year for weather.
I'm thinking of you as well!
JB, that's what I did when I turned 50. Twenty-nine years of taking off work and I'm getting used to it!
Cody, thank you and you're right. I'm going to accept each day in this revolution as a gift. Even the one's spent in doctors' offices.
@zanyad, I usually order new calendars in August so I'm a little late this year. Thanks for the reminder.
