Default OT: my foot update

To all my friends out there who were wishing me well with my foot's tumor surgery I want to give you an update.
I went in this morning and the surgeon slit me open and took a biopsy and sent it to the lab. But it came back as inconclusive as being benign. So he stopped, stitched me up and the sample is being sent out for further evaluation. I go back on Sept 28th for a checkup and schedule a new surgery date.
But on a side note I am mobile so I can continue shooting. I'll just have to have my friend put up my targets and check on them while I sit at the bench and sip on a soda or iced tea!!!

Inconclusive as being benign Bronko? I heard it was inconclusive as being human.

At this point, anything that's not bad news is good news. I hope the results of the further evaluation is great news. Now go shoot and drink your tea.

Yeah - I agree. My cousin (who had 2 bouts with cancer) told me if it was maligant they would have know immediately. So that - I pray is good.

I have to confess to what I did to myself August 15th. I tore all the ligaments in my left foot and broke a small bone behind the little toe. Talk about HURT! But the doctor said it was because of the ligaments, not the break because the minor break went right back in place after it broke. It was a little white line on the X-ray she almost missed. They stuck me in a foot brace and of course crutches again. But I am out of the brace now, occasionally need a cane outside on uneven grass surfaces (where I did all this stepping into a hole). But in the house its as good as new. It did put a squash on my shooting for a while. I guess the older I get the less I bend and bounce back from minor things.

That's for sure. I'm finding even chigger bites heal slower than they used to.
