something new

I started this blog over a year ago because I was living in Marion, Ohio while all my friends and family were elsewhere. My family eventually joined me and the blog morphed into whatever it was that my daughter was up to at the moment.
Now, I think it is going to change a little.
Yesterday, March 22, I had a colonoscopy that turned up a little cancer in my rectum.
If you want to take a look at it click here.
I am keeping the photo off the blog for the benefit of the squeamish.
Not much to tell now. I have a couple of doctor visits lined up so my future is as unclear as ever. All I am assured of is a little drama. But then, aren't we all.

Good grief, man. When will you know for sure? What does this mean? You'll have to educate us, brother.

In the meantime, we'll be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.

And keep the photos coming.

right now it looks like a typical, chemo, radiation, surgery scenario.
Still have to wait for further tests. Will know more on Monday.

Hemorrhoids my ass. Whoops. that didn't come out right. Tom, please let us know if we can do anything. I know we aren't near enough to babysit but you could put Lucy on the Greyhound. She would make everyone on the bus happy with her singing. But really...you know.

Tom, I will build a Tom Graser Cancer Away rockstack as soon as I find the perfect place and perfect rocks. Also, if that Jesus fellow comes around, I will interrupt the Second Coming and send him to Marion to lay his hands upon you.

Why is it that crappy things happen to good people and evil people don't get hit by trains as often as they should?

I ain't much of a prayin' man, but will give it a shot. Perhaps the Big G is over our last spat. He claims to be the forgiving kind.

Dudes.
I am overwhelmed. Not by this little turn of luck, but by your response.

I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and sending all the good vibes I can your way.

Don't want to screw up my karma now, after all.

Tom, I've been meaning to call you often lately. But obviously, haven't. I check out your blog frequently and show my friends all of Lucy's cute ventures in the digital world. I really don't know what to say, except be well. I miss you guys. I'll call soon.
Miss you, tonya.

Sending you good thoughts and all that...let us know if there's anything we can do to help. I could always travel to Marion to do some babysitting. I've been known to make those long trips over a weekend, you know... :)
