Chris, I keep checking for more entries--keep on trying to get us all going! Eldie has a bone scan on May 5 and meets his surgeon--will have a nephrectomy (right kidney out and GONE) on May 13 (tentatively) by laparascopy ( small holes instead of a 12" incision, which sounded good to him!). The Dr was very positive about the outcome, apparently no spread, therefore no need for further intervention. Many people live with 1 kidney--will probably not be able to participate in contact sports, but golf will work!!! We are very relieved--10 days of having no idea what is ahead was frustrating--gave us an appreciation for those in the same or worse situations. We are thankful for the support we have received from everyone (maybe you all know the sisters called us up the first weekend and said "it's time to circle the wagons", came and brought food and games and we had a GREAT time together). We're glad to have Sheila close--helps with motel bills--until they kick us out anyway. We are trying to get odd jobs done around here, and would like to get some golf in next week. Take care, all
