Did someone speak to soon...

Oh yeah, I think I did.

It's all fun and games until the Thoracic Surgeon see that your thymus is getting bigger.
YOU know what I mean?!?

So, it's back under the knife for me. The good thing is my lungs are clear, that's my biggest worry. The Sarcoma I had moves to the lungs and as long as they are clear I'm doing well.

As for the Thymus, it's grown since the last CT scan. And from what the surgeon tells me that's not what should happen. It seems that the Thymus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus) does all it's work when we are young and stops around 15 years old. Then is shrivels up and just becomes a little piece of fat under you chest bone. Now it is just a liability and because mine has grown; there is a possibility that there could be a tumor in it. Translation: that bad boy needs to come out!

So under the knife I go. Right now my scheduled appointment is on May 29. And again I'll be at the lovely Cedars. The procedure should take about 2 hours and I'll be at the hospital over night at least.


Now to Sports;

Things are good...


I had a new CT scan and the Chest is still clear. The doctors want to check me every three months for the first year.

I'm still trying to get some Physical Therapy, a little HMO problem, but things should be on track in a couple of weeks. Had to change Physical therapist because the one my HMO sent me to wasn't ready for an Amputee.

All that walking I'm doing now, I've been learned from my Prosthetist. He's really been great.

With all this good news, We took a trip to try and center us, before I have to go back to work. I decided to start a new blog for traveling. http://havelegwilltravel.blogspot.com/

Thanks for checking in.
