When I was in law school, we had a professor of contracts who described cancer as "the big casino".
Well, today I got a call from my urologist about that lesion on my kidney, and they want to do some more tests...
It's a Bosniak 2.5, which is an interesting characterization. If it were a Bosniak 1 or 2, it calls for ongoing monitoring, but is almost certainly benign. A Bosniak 4 is good reason for a kidney removal.
A Bosniak 3 is about 25-50% (depending on the study) likely to result in cancer.
This is a game I have no interest in picking up chips for, but life throws you what she throws you; I can't complain, even if I do wind up playing this deadly game.
I've loved more women than I have fingers, good and bad. I've gotten the best education I could afford, and self-educated myself a long way past that. I have a beautiful understanding wife with enough warts to make life interesting; and three fantastic chidren, beautiful, tall, smart and really, really amazing. I own a nice home.
In forty plus years of living I've been in about nine foreign countries, I've sailed a 20 footer in Newport Bay (even though I'm not rich).
I've never jumped out of plane, but I've been to Disneyworld six times (which about evens that up). I've climbed half a mountain.
I've been blessed with more love than any one person deserves; and in the end that is what matters most of all. I'm comfortable in my relationship with God and certain in my knowledge He exists...
All in all, I guess I'll find out Wednesday if I'm being melodramatic or if this is just the first of a bunch of maudlin ramblings to start the fight of my life with...
Wish me luck, my DU friends.
