Bad News from the Doctor

Seems I have a mass in my neck. Me fainting in the kitchen should have been a clue. My dog woke me up licking my face. I've been  through all this before 10 years ago. I haven't had the chance to play "live"  and God knows I tried. Unfortunately there are 1000's of guitar players around here.  I have a gig this weekend! You can bet YOUR ass I'm going to play MY ass off like there was no tomorrow. My doctor appointments start Monday morning. I didn't say a word about this to anyone. I like it here. It's been my sanctuary in the past years.  This will be last time I mention this. You never know what tomorrow will bring so I say live it like it's your last.

     Wow, what an unfortunate piece of news. I hope you will reconsider letting us know how it goes. I'm know I'm not the only one who would like to know how you're making out.
     
     I'm glad you can keep playing and I'll be prayin' it all pans out for the best. Hang in there, these things are not always what they seem, lots of ways and methods to combat this. A good attitude is important and you already have that.
