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)
Excellent ! (show off) :o)
LOL. Come on, FOXY. You know what a pay cut he had to take.
While working for an organization that delivered lunches to elderly shut-ins, a mother often took her four-year-old daughter on the afternoon rounds.
Her daughter was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs.
One day, the mother found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As she braced herself for the inevitable barrage of questions from her four year old, the little girl merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
LOL I'm trying to NOT visualize here. ;-D
Thanks for passing on the good word from Mr. Flake himself.
He's probably going to be busy on Sunday filling up his Ipod with great music for his recovery time.
He's got the best Bumper Music Library on Earth! Wonder what he's downloading....
Bless you, FOXFANVOX!
Oh how lovely- thanks SOOOO much for posting this.
God Bless Tony..
That is wonderful news from Tony. I remember he said that he had changed his diet necessarily for health reasons, and he does look a lot thinner, but did not look sick. As a 10 year survivor of Colon Cancer, I pay attention to all news about the matter. It always gives me a twinge still when I hear of these little growths, but Pet Scans are specifically used for Cancer detection, and since I have experience in that area, it gives me more confidence that this is the Conservative approach. Another wonderful thing is that he is employed by the Government and has excellent Health Insurance.
Thank you so much. We are all worried sick.
Please keep us informed as best you can.
We will watch Dana's back while you're away.
Mr. Gregrory had better be nice to her.
Thanks so much for the personal update, John! It is much appreciated. It's quite handy having our own personal Tony Snow ambassador to FR! ;>)
LOL...Thanks for the report, FFV!!!
I am so glad that Tony has someone on FR that he can talk directly to.
We all just care so much for him...he is really like a family member to a lot of us.
Thanks for being the go-between.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

Tony, I am praying for you to be healthy, strong, courageous and righteous in every way and praying the very same for our Commander-In-Chief.
