Thanks for asking, Bob. I'm doing OK. Diverticulitis is still not under control. Following up with my doctor tomorrow and then with a surgeon on May 1st. In the meantime, work's been really slow and we're behind the 8-ball with bills and taxes, so I'm sure that helps keep the old belly in an uproar.
All things considered, though, we are blessed and are trying to stay focused on the many many good things, which includes friends like you, sir. :^)

My 12 year old boxer Stella has a softball sized mass either on her liver or spleen. If it's the liver, it's terminal. It's its the spleen, 50/50 she's terminal or okay. It's $500 bones today and another $1000 on Monday for the diagnosis exploratory surgery. I'm very optimistic, even though I'm crying now, that we can remove her spleen and she will be okay. Any good thoughts, karma, prayers is most appreciated. My pets have always been family members so it's quite emotional right now. Thanks.
Prayers for Stella, bro! Hope she's OK. Pets are definitely family members, and the bonds we form with them are very strong. Keep us posted on her progress.

Hope she can pull through. Dogs are important to our well-being and are definitely "family". We've beed through our share of doggy medical adventures too so I feel like I can relate.
Drop a few for my family. As some of you know my wife has MS, and it has been pretty stable for the last 18 months. A few days ago her right pinky and ring finger were losing feeling and she came down with an infection which has caused her MS to flare back up enough to where the can't work right now which is hard on everyone. Any thoughts and prayers will be appreciated.
Just prayed and will keep praying for you and your wife, Brian!

Just need some prayers brother. We found out this morning that my wife's grandfather in the Philippines passed away this morning. He had a stroke a few weeks back...left the hospital last Friday and was given 2 weeks to live. My mother in law will be flying to the Philippines and will be there for about 3 weeks. I just ask that you keep my family and my extended family in your prayers.

Just need a few prayers. I just heard that my brother found a lump on his neck and he's thinking it's a tumor. He's going to the doctor to get it checked out. Hoping it's not cancer.
