Getting there with my three favorite (best) trees

[johng]

I'll let you know when I feel up to it. I'm having to sell a kidney to pay for my Intensives. Surgery is Thursday. I'll probably need a month to recover.

now that is just funny on multiple levels

 

[Adair M]

I'm glad you enjoyed my little joke, John.

I really AM having kidney surgery on Thursday. They found kidney cancer a couple months ago. Early stages, I have no symptoms. I should be fine after they remove it.

I had the DaVinci prostate thing done last Christmas. Now this. Getting old isn't for wimps!

Ha! I used to be afraid of going to the dentist. That's NOTHING compared to what the urologist can do to you!

These are some great trees Dave. That red pine is especially nice and made me start looking for one some time ago. I always like seeing your trees and what's going on around your bench. Thanks for always sharing!

Good luck Adair. My mom's having sx on Thursday, as well...I'll be thinking of both of you.

Thanks for the well wishes!

Let's return the conversation back to Dave's trees, now.

Dave, if you had to pick just one to work up, which one would it be?

 

[Dav4]

The RMJ and the JRP are the furthest along...the RMJ will need 5x as much wire as the pine, though and is in more need of the fine wiring, imo.

 

[Adair M]

I survived surgery. In hospital. Some pain. Doc says he got all the cancer.

I'll be ok.

Thanks.

 

[Dav4]

Great news, Adair! I'm glad everything went well and hope the pain meds kick in shortly.

Thanks.

Glad to hear you are doing ok. Wishes sent for speedy recovery. Dave, hope your mom did just as well.

Good news indeed! Get well.

BTW, "Doc" means the surgeon or the pathologist?

 

[Dav4]

She's out of surgery, did fine from what my Dad said, but I won't be able to speak to her until tomorrow. I appreciate the well wishes.

 

[Adair M]

Dave, that would be the surgeon. The tumor was entirely encased within the kidney. So the surgeon removed the entire kidney and surrounding tissue.

He said it was as straightforward as it can get.

 

[JudyB]

Scary stuff, glad it turned out so well.

 

[fore]

Speedy recovery Adair!

 

[KennedyMarx]

I love the red pine, Dave. The other two aren't anything to sneeze at either.

Adair, I'm glad to here you're going to be ok.

 

[RustyNail]
