Hey All,
I just got a call from "the old coot" himself. He sounds really really good!! He said to tell you all "They was either taking me out the back in a box or I was WALKING out the front on my own and I just want you all to know that this old coot WALKED out the front!!!" He was in surgery for 9 hours and they got like 97% of the tumor. He starts 12 rounds of radiation Friday. He said he is having a blind spot on his left side that makes him bump into stuff and he cannot type...which is why he has not posted.... but this is only temporary. His spirits and attitude are the same ole Kerry! I was so happy to hear from him. He said to thank you all for your prayers and appreciates all the concern. Take care!

Jennie

    Damn right I walked out!
    Scary Old Woman is typing this for me. I did lose the ability to type, but not my attitude, attitude, attitude. I got in trouble and was marked "fall risk" after I rolled my wheelchair while I was out smoking at the rehab center. Rehab had butt alerts on my bed and wheelchair. I could not get on my feet without them knowing about it.

    Butt alerts - love it!
    Great to hear from you, and lots of love to Scary Old Woman, who has to be one of the finest people to walk on this planet!

    Onwards and upwards!
