son of a gun

[Bob Hemus]

Well, all, I'm going to take a couple of weeks off.Going to check off
the list Saturday evening.  We just got back from Medford, OR and the
Providence hospital.  Most of you know I got a kidney transplant 9 years
ago, and from a step-son donner.  Well, had some bad blood tests in
January ond on and on 'till Tuesday of this week.  Found I've got cancer
of the transplanted kidney.  Worst part is the story is the cancer came
with the kidney according to the pathologists.  Puts the Kid in a bad
place.  He'll need monitoring the rest of his life.

Good news is they think they found it in time that taking it out will
cure (hahaha) me.  I was on peritoneal dialysis before the transplant,
now I'll prolly go to hemodialysis.  Think while I'm ther I'll take my
old laptop and con one of my daughters to buy me the book on Damn Small
Linux and play with that while I'm in there for a week.

Cross your fingers and knock on wood for me.  They keek telling me "At
your Age).
