Thank you all very much.

As I just told another special Pixie, for not knowing a little over a week ago if I'd be talking to a doctor or undertaker, he is doing fantastic. They are even talkimg about releasing him this week.

Talked to my surgeon today. Plans are for surgery to happen on the 14th. At this point, the surgeon believes the surgery can be done laparoscopically which would speed recovery. Obviously, if the surgery requires, the opening can be enlarged and the surgery performed in the traditional manner. Looks like surgery will remove the cancerous colon section and about twelve surrounding lymph nodes. The nodes filter the blood and while showing no sign of cancer, need to be checked to help assure that the cancer has not spread. In any case, I specifically asked if our planned July getaway to Holland, MI should be canceled. Answer was certainly not yet. If the surgery is successful and no spread to the disease has been found, I should be more than healed in time for the vacation. Likely will be a four or five week recovery period although I should be back on my feet sooner than that. Again, if nothing unexpected is found, there may be (Lord willing) no need for chemo.

I thought the meeting with the surgeon was very good and I've great reason to feel optimistic. Actually, I already felt pretty confident and the surgeon did nothing to discourage me.

DB ((hugs)) I have all faith that you will be happy and healed in no time.

I got here late, but I still have hopes for the best for all involved. I am glad to hear about your son PF, I do want to ask if there was any news of the other driver and her daughter. Hope they are well ok.

We are all happy that the occupants of the other vehicle was treated and released the same day.


...... But like anything the media covers, a few facts get missed or distorted. It was not a woman and her one year old daughter. It was a man, ... with a two year old boy. He was not making a turn with the car. Then dogs name is not Nick, it's Erok, and so on. The bottom line is no one else was seriously hurt and the only death was the cruiser.

What I said about Erok being happy to be back to his first real home was not a miss-statement. He has always done his job well of not being far from his master but now he tries to be literally next to him all the time. When ANYONE visits, he wants to be 'between' them and No.1 son, even the immediate family. Not in a threatening way, but nobody else is going to sit next to him. He use to be content to just lay in the same room but now he will be next to him. He definitely knows something happen and WILL stay close to him. LOL

Dogs see their families as surrogate packs and pecking order is very important. That is one reason dogs attack babies. It's something I rarely see acknowledged.

The car was brought up to Cleveland this last week so No.1 son was loaded up to have a look yesterday. I could tell it registered more than I had anticipated. After thinking about it, what did he have to reference anything to. It was a split second flash.... he wakes up hurting a LOT and hadn't even seen the news photos. A father knows that look of stun when the sight of the cruiser struck him and that pause. He "wouldn't bet anybody made it out of that".

I took some pics and looking at the straight-ahead and parallel wheel alignment, the distortion and displacement of the part in between is obvious.

The drivers seat is squeezed down to the width of two pleats.

There seems to be an alignment problem, but with the body and frame rather than the wheels.
