Steve, as one who fights the battle of the bulge. I have great admiration for what you've accomplished. I don't know you personally, but as a fellow umpire I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Don't suck.
A buddy of mine had the same valve replacement, and was back on the field in no time. Hope things go as smoothly for you. (Before my friend went under, he tapped the doc on the chest, and repeated the above phrase)

Hello everyone!
The doctor definitely did NOT suck today!!! I just got home from the hospital. I went into the O.R. at 2:21 PM, and woke up at 4:15 PM. They were running late, and I was #3 on the list for the day. Despite the high-risk surgery, the doctors told me my heart came through it really well!!! That is great news for when my aortic valve has to be replaced in the near future. The doctor (who I have known for about 8 years, great guy...Dr. Brian Weeks), removed both tonsils and a polyp on my voice box. The cancer was not on the tonsils or the base of my tongue, but on the voice box itself, and it spread to first the left lymph node, and now is starting in the right lymph node. Dr. Weeks believes I WILL NOT need chemo, but probably radiation only!! That would be great news!! Dr. Weeks has always known that I umpire baseball, and always wants to talk baseball with me, and we were watching the Tigers/Rangers game together for a bit while I was waiting to go to surgery. It was 2-1 Tigers when they wheeled me to the O.R. Dr. Weeks is a fairly young doctor, 30-something, and knows the game of baseball pretty well! He also is one of the top-rated ENT doctors in the state, so I'm in good hands. Thank you to each and every one of you for your thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes!!! And thanks to God, The Great Physician, for all His goodness!!!

Deo Gratias!
Our prayers have been answered. I pray the lymph node involvement is containable. God is great! And good on you, Steve, for being that one leper. Steve will know what I mean. Last edited by Bob James; Thu Oct 13, 2011 at 11:50pm. Reason: overtaken by events

You would think so...
I was this close to getting ice cream, when my wife found out on a website that ice cream causes phlegm, so now I just get sherbet and non-dairy frozen treats. But lots and lots of these!

Tonsils are not an easy surgery for an adult -- or at least, weren't in 2 cases of friends around a decade or so ago. Perhaps they've improved and the fact that you seem to be in a good mood and do seem to be absolutely miserable is really good!
Good news and great wishes for a speedy recovery. Can they remove the lymp node in question?
