Hi guys! 
Well, another big "thank you" for the prayers, support and energy! 
Got out of this one as well as one can; it was a "fatty lipoma" which is Doc-speak for a little lump of fat. 
I feel pretty good, really. Sorta like somebody socked me in the stomach but I'm walking and talking. They have me on a "pureed" food diet for a week; pudding, jello, cream of wheat, mashed potatoes. No problemo. 
Tomorrow I will be working hard to get myself on at the Cleveland Clinic ASAP. I just want to get this done. 
I'm VERY thankful. Wearing out the knees of my blue jeans.  
I'll let you know how the scheduling goes. 
Thanks again! Keep it up!
