    I wonder if I should change the title to:

    I HAD Cancer

    :?

    we'll see what my surgeon says on wednesday....



    I have been saying HAD when people ask about my STP bracelet since you had the surgery. I do have hope. ;)
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!

    Things are getting better. I'm DAMN jealous of you guys who saw the toronto shows! I hope the boys save something for vancouver :lol:

    I find myself seeing people with various disabilities and thinking "would I rather be them?" probably not a healthy activity, but what can I say? sometimes, my new reality seems very sucky; other times I think "not REALLY that big of a deal." you guys, my wife, my dog and my friends continue to aid my recovery :mrgreen:

    back to the doc tomorrow.

    that has already been added to the "PRO" column. that, and "no cancer."

    unfortunately, the "CON" column has plenty of entries, too.

    things are OK, tho.

    Stay strong Rob. You did good. Really good. I am proud of you, today and every day.

    The week you were having surgery, I was leading a 4-day training for people who will teach diabetes self-management workshops. I wore my STP bracelet and told them about you. Yesterday, I had a meeting with one of them. The FIRST thing she asked me was "How did your friend's surgery go?" Working in a hospital, she sees plenty of things, but she was most impressed with your attitude and sense of humor and told me that it will get you through.

    I gotta say, it impresses me too, along with all the love from people on this board. I'm glad you're part of this place. :D

    I'm praying that you have a great outcome after your dr appt tomorrow. Love, thoughts, prayers your way.

    If I didn't tell you...I LOVE that you have such a positive attitude in this whole thing. It's truly been an inspiration to me.
  • Rob,

    I just made it to Ottawa after rocking my ass off for both Toronto shows. I have to tell you that I was thinking about you and how you're going to Vancouver and all I could think is that you're going to rock your ass off and forget about everythig you've been dealing with. Pearl Jam has been on fire and are in rare form. I admire that you're going and I just know you'll be smiling. I also know that your positive list will grow longer with time and the negatives list will shorten. And who knows, maybe someday looking back it'll all be a plus. Hard to imagine now I'm sure.

    Keep your head up, good luck with the doctor's visit and know I'll be sending positive Chi your way tomorrow.

    Peace!

    I was walking thru the house yesterday and glanced gracie out on the front porch with her tail going about a million miles an hour....and the postman petting her head :mrgreen:

    so, after the postman told me what a good girl gracie is, I anxiously ripped into yet another :shock: care package from the BATW crew. Thanks to:

    Kelly for the popcorn and cashews from nuts on clark. I'll have to ask my doc today when those things come off my restricted list :cry: . I'll also have to keep codie out of them :lol: .

    Dottles for those UK music mags that just kick the shit out of anything published in the states. the bands they cover? captain beyond....are you kidding me?? I loved those guys, back in the day :mrgreen:

    Appie for the PJ/Packers hat. that was really too generous. I gave it to my brother-in-law, right before we headed out to uinta brewing for lunch. he was at a loss for words!

    Whoprincess for the 1970s who bootlegs. I can't wait to listen because (sorry, pete and roger) the 70s were when you really kicked ass! :mrgreen: I also got some who shoelaces - "who-laces" :lol:

    Lizard (dodgers suck), halifax2themax and brianlux for the cards. you guys have been constant in your support and it means a LOT!!!

    finally (and I had to laugh), davidtrios for the :shock: three toothbrushes, giant floss container and gum massaging toothpicks :lol: . did someone tell you I have bad teeth??? cuz I don't! :lol:

    as you know, it's off to the see the surgeon today. I hope he gives my recovery a big thumbs up.

    As if any Who fan would disagree with that. :lol:
    The Hull show was the night after Live at Leeds. The band thought it was a better show!
    And while I prefer my 70s Who, that Chicago boot is my favorite from the 2006-07 tour.
