Great news Doc! Glad you're on the mend and still with us!

Holy crap. I'm glad you're okay.

Now you and Watt have even more in common than just liking NR birds! I look forward to your opera.

I'm glad you're on the mend, Doc! Seriously, what a great blessing that you and your docs caught it and you got the treatment you needed. I'm glad you're still here to add to the fun.

Always pay attention to a pain in your gut. Sure glad you did.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Doc!

Thanks Carlo! I haven't been in the shop for 6 weeks, so I hope by next week I'll feel up to it. My first three basses have their finishes done and just need assembly.

Thanks to all of you, it's so good to be a part of this motley crew! You are so right Dave. At first, none of the docs thought the pain was significant. It took ten days of fever and increasing pain to convince them it wasn't a virus!

Damn right! I'm getting better each day. Moving forward!

I'm glad to read you're on the mend...take care!

drbassman · August 14, 2015, 08:29:44 PM

Oh yeah! I'm feeling better everyday. Off all drugs for 10 days and eating/drinking normally again. Life is good.

OldManC · August 14, 2015, 08:45:40 PM

That's great news, Bill! I'm glad things are looking up.

Welcome back! As the years passes on, one becomes almost surprised to still be around. (Even if one doesn't get around much. Anymore...)

Highlander · August 15, 2015, 09:37:49 AM

Excellent..!

Dave gave me the best advice. After the liver event, some of the pain has lingered and we've determined that my bile duct cancer is back. Again we've caught it early and I'm off to chemo next Wednesday. I'll keep you all posted, I'm quite positive again things will work out. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, that's all we really need!
