And seemingly nice, happy folks. I was there for 3 days last November. Different cardiologist.

I would have been out sooner but when they did the post surgery X-ray after the first round, they spotted a nodule on the lung, which threw a monkey wrench into the works. There was talk of the heart dude doing the third wire, and the cancer dude doing a biopsy, at the same time.

They did a Cat-Scan right away, then a very long night till the head cancer dude decided it was either benign or so slow growing it became a secondary problem that could wait. Big relief on my part.
After I talked to him, he dug into my records and found an X-ray from two years ago that shows the nodule, so he had called it right.

I read this and first thought, "Oh shit, Bruce has head cancer?!"

Glad you're feeling better.

Yes, yes I do. My brain rotted away years ago, as you probably know.
But I refuse to be a zombie, that's so mainstream. Brains? Keep 'em, I don't need 'em.

Never turn down Clodfobble's brain, Bruce.
I heard of someone who refused it once and now he screens guests for Jerry Springer.

Damn, that sounds like a great job. It certainly would boost self esteem to interview those losers.

Thanks, Nirvana. When I asked the cardiologist if I was going to live, she said I'm going to thrive, and I'm holding her to it.
