:-) Thanks, that makes two of us!
I just got a call from the Head SnowFlake [that would be Tony for strangers here] and he wanted me to please tell everyone here that he feels fine, "the best I have felt in years" and so do not be glum. The blood work and petscans, etc. all showed nothing, but this preemptive surgery is being done only because it is the "conservative" approach. Somehow, the conservative approach seems appropriate, doesn't it.
Tony shed a few pounds a few weeks back, I think to fit into his beach thong [that is not verified] but it was on purpose.
Tony is reading all your good wishes and your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated.
Bottom line he feels and sounds great.
Tony if you read this, please do NOT call collect next time. 8)
