A Merry Christmas indeed!!!

Diane & I went up to NIH on Tuesday a.m. for my 6-week followup CT scans & other tests, to determine if the surgery was successful in ridding me of my nemesis, Renal-Cell Carcinoma (clear-cell variety). My medical team, including the good Drs. Coleman & Novakovic, and my personal angel-of-mercy, a.k.a. "Hurricane of Health" Sally Fowler, gave us the good news: no evidence of disease anywhere....yayyyy!!! It's a freakin' miracle, and I'm taking it as a sign that God:1) loves a fool, 2) has more work for me to do, and 3) gave these guys at NIH super-human powers of healing, which I'd like to bear witness that they're using to great effect....truly our tax dollars working for the common good!!!

Three-month checkups for years to come, but I enjoy seeing & talking to the great people up there, so I really don't mind the drive...

Merry Christmas to one & all!!!

Mike
