Yeah, hang in there Sabongero. My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer a few years ago, fought it, and is now cancer-free.
It's amazing what today's health care can do !

That's really impressive. I remembered you mentioning a few times that you played music but that's a much higher level than I had imagined.
One of my favourites from the earlier Who era, BTW.

Hey, with all the cross dressing cosplay these days you can go as Oracle even. Or dress up as old man Frank Miller Batman and tell everyone you had to have hip replacement surgery.

I am chatting on Facebook Messenger with my middle son who is in Benin. People who complain about technology have no idea what they're talking about.

I can't do Patrick Stewart's Xavier but McAvoy's is a possibility. No gray hair yet but I'm noticing more white hairs of late though.

Ok, I have to vent a wee bit for I am both anxious and aggravated though I really shouldn't feel this way but I can't seem to help it. In two weeks, I'm supposed to have surgery that will put me out of work for a month. It's been rescheduled twice now so while it's good that this new date is a week earlier than the previous one, I can already feel my anxiety level slowly beginning to rise. If I have to have it done though, then let's just go ahead and do it then. However, by small coincidence, the week of my surgery is also the weekend of Raleigh SuperCon, an event that I hadn't known about till this week thanks to some promotional commercials that I saw for it on a local TV channel. Checking over the guest list online, I'm wishing now that I didn't know about it. The guest list features quite a diverse set of pop culture celebrities, from actors to pro wrestlers to popular cosplayers to comic creators. Of interest to me are: Michael Dorn and Walter Koenig of Trek, Who alumni John Barrowman, Karen Gillian and Catherine Tate. Dave Bautista is due to attend. On the comic front, we have such notables as Neal Adams, Peter David but also Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis, and Jim Starlin (who, to my knowledge, has never been to HeroesCon in Charlotte) The biggest thrill for me though is among the prominent attendees who are voice actors. Steve Blum has had a successful career, most well-known as the voice of Spike on Cowboy BeBop as well as the voice of Wolverine on a number of X-Men cartoons and video games. Kevin Conroy is due to attend. The voice of Batman himself. I am beside myself for more than likely, I will be in no condition to attend this event as a result of starting my recuperation from this surgery. From what my doctor tells me beforehand, I won't even be able to drive for up to a week after the procedure. The wife was beyond elated when I told her about Conroy's attendance (she's long been a Batman fan) but heartbroken over the timing. I know that I need to take care of myself, this procedure is needed and necessary but man oh man, is this ever frustrating. ARGH! Don't know what surgery you had, but I've had conflicting schedules like this before. You might be surprised asking your doctor. When I specifically told my doctor about a similar event, he basically said it was general guidelines and if I felt up to it to use my own discretion.
YMMV but good luck with the surgery for sure
I was working on posting this response yesterday when Ye Ol' Internet decided to cut out: I'm having biopsy surgery on a section of lymph nodes in my lower right abdomen for recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma. I've been in remission for around 2-3 years when this area lit up on a recent check-up scan. A previous CT-guided needle biopsy came back negative but the doctors were unsure why this area kept lighting up on the follow-up scan. Thus, this surgery for a definitive sample. To you, the Captain, and others, thanks for the kind words and advice. I'll ask my surgeon afterwards what any limitations may be but if nothing else, maybe I can grab faithful old cane and slowly hobble my way towards the DW booth on that Saturday. The wife had an excellent suggestion though, she's booked us for a trip to our favorite beach during my recovery period. Actually it's time for such a getaway. Usually, we manage a beach trip every two years that coincides with the World Cup, either Men's or Women's. Since the men just finished their World Cup, it's time to go after all!
