about my friends who are in a bad way, it doesn’t stop life from going on, and does it ever.

Today, by ten o’clock, I had cut my fingers up so badly it looked like I was using a mandoline on them. I have one cut on the left middle finger that is infected, and the whole finger wants to swell and hurt. I had also burned all the hair off my left arm to the elbow. At eleven I was on my way to the next gig. Good to be employed, but damn, my fingers feel like meat.

has surgery this afternoon. Keep a happy thought.

UPDATE:

Ken is out of surgery and resting comfortably. I don’t know much else about his condition or how long he is expected to take to recover.

The needle biopsy showed he has Multiple Myeloma. This is encouraging news compared to the fear that he had renal cell carcinoma. Apparently the renal cell is a major disastor, while Multiple Myeloma is a lesser disaster.

This allowed them to operate, knowing that there were vascular risks but with a full knowledge of what they were. So the surgery apparently went well. Now the recovery from the hip replacement, and treatment of the cancer can begin.

Thanks, folks, I know your prayers have helped, and as this is only the beginning, I ask you to keep Ken in your thoughts.

Should leave you tired, a little lightheaded, and ravenously hungry.

and broke, if youre ugly and have to pay for it.

Accomplishing the same with a major dump, is, i’m sure, a sign
of something.
