JVMJem - mate, sorry to hear that.

I would have emailed you but I can't get in and there's no way I was dropping this into 140 character messages elsewhere (lol)

I had the result of my high level scan yesterday about the abnormality they found with me. There's definitely a problem. but as the contrast dye wasn't sucked into the area then it shows its unlikely to be anything sinister at this time or so they say, BUT I have to be monitored in case it's only something small so far

That wasn't the nicest thing to hear, but I'll believe that's how it is until I get told otherwise, and I obviously would like to think I'll never hear any different or in fact that it will be nothing time we get a little further down the line

If you have had contrast die and a similar chat I hope that offers some help or relief as such that maybe it won't be too bad

I would also usually refrain from making posts about my health, cos as you've noticed, I'm captain keep it private on most stuff, but if this offers help for you or anyone else who reads but doesnt post I thought it might be worth throwing out there

Pip- extra good vibes going out to you as well....

Hope that they do not find anything "sinister" going on.

Peace - thanks. I'll always use PMA when I can. So business as usual here : )

JVMJem - I can understand that, you obviously have good medical team around you an I am sure they'll clear it all up and you'll be foot soldiering like a goodun in no time

Oh Pippy, why would we be silly enough to place bets on your sleep since you haven't had any in months? Silly man.

Scubz yer saying yer brain is restricted, shadowy, & glandy, and Pip is saying his brain is possibly sinister with refusal to sleep. Geez! Sounds like a party over there! I wish you both the best - always! My sister gets her MRI on Monday to check her remaining Mengioma tumor's growth. She got the biggin' the size of a large lemon removed a couple years ago, but the smaller one is deep in and in the back, and will need the cyber knife dealio eventually. Just the other day she mentioned how glad she was that she gave me 'power of attorney'. I told her I would pick a nice nursing home for her in the countryside with day passes & a liquor store nearby! lol! She liked that. lol!

Hey, if ya can't laugh in the face of adversity, ya got nothing.

Best wishes & healing vibes to both of you! :-)

Thanks for the well wishes for my mum!

If this doesn't make you laugh, nothing does.

Chellebelle - who are you calling a man? Oh.... doh!

We know me brain is sinister already lol they talked me through all sorts, not sure if Im being too blase but as I feel pretty ok apart from certain day to week to month things to deal with then not sure how else to feel

Sorry to hear about Mom & Sis (I had to read back). Wow, so much going on. No wonder we all need Joe's healing powers

Rats, I'm still awake - I guess that's ruining the odds on the will I sleep guessing game. That being said, I do get the odd half/hour or so, sometimes throwing in a luxurious 3.

michelle - aww *hug* your mum for me, was happy to pray for her. that's very funny what she said about MJ. sadly he got hooked after getting burned doing that Pepsi commercial.

I enjoy the new chickenfoot cd, but I will be honest, I likes the first chickenfoot cd better then the 2nd.

As for Michelle mom? I'm very glad to hear that she is very strong woman , glad to hear that she's getting very well too:-)

Hello Everyone

I just want to let you all know that I'm doing alright. Been busy with work, running, and family. I miss chatting with you all, but I do try to find time to read the posts here.

Work is coming along alright, a bit stressful, but okay. Just grateful that I have a job; waiting tables, working banquets, and even bartend. Going to be busy Thanksgiving Day, expecting about 500+ people coming to eat our buffet.

Running has been going great. I have been doing a lot of training (almost every day) for the past month and a half to two months. I have done five marathons total so far this year. My last one was back on November 12th and I finished 10th overall with a time of 3 hours and 35 seconds (3:00:35). I shattered 10 minutes off my personal best, which gets me qualified to go to Boston for 2013.

Looking forward for my vacation from Nov. 26th - 30th. I'm thinking of either going to see Bret Michaels here in town on the 27th, or go to Michigan for Thanksgiving. It's been a while since I was up there with them for the holiday.

Talk with you all later peeps. Be safe y'all.

Hey Joe and peeps! Check out this Instrumental Artist from the U.K. See what you all think :D

So I am gonna get a JS100 for christmas, I am not even gonna try for the 1200 or 2400 anymore, everytime I get close to $2000 something comes up and the guitar always gets pushed back,

so I have the money for the 100 but if I want the transparent red, I have to wait until Dec 26 to order, I can get the Black one right now.

Eeek there's 9 of us registered to attend the Melbourne show, so I have a 1:8 chance of winning the after show pass *sigh* not gonna happen. Those others had better have tickets..........

Pip and JVMJem I hope all works out for the best with your respective scans. And I hope you are getting excited about the Chickenfoot shows only 7 or 8 weeks away. Give Joe a hug for me please.

Just got great news from my sister! The doc doesnt need to see her for TWO years! That means the tumor is slow growing. Woot! Eventually she'll have to have cyber~knife surgery, but for now she's good.

Thank you Jesus!!
