Perspective...

[RichZ]

I am not happy about the team's performance.

I am in no position to do anything about it.

I have bigger things to worry about, anyway.

I have been hoarse on and off for the past few months.

It wasn't basketball season, so we can't blame me screaming at the TV.

Visited an ENT guy. He scheduled a biopsy. Had a physical/EKG etc before showing up at the hospital for biopsy. All good.

No biopsy for you today, they said. Your heart rate is in the 20s. Who the hell carried you in here?

So instead of a biopsy, I got a pacemaker.

Fast forward a few weeks to last Wednesday. Back to hospital for rescheduled biopsy.

Results come in yesterday.

I am now scheduled to start radiation therapy on Friday.

Guess what super complicates chest and throat radiation?

A pacemaker, that's what.

I sure as hell hope the Huskies win a few games before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Whatever the hell that means.

Wishing you good health, Rich.

All the best to you RichZ and I hope the Huskies win a few games for you

Thoughts will be with you Rich. I understand.

May radiation and some Husky wins put you right, best of luck to you Rich.

 

[huskypantz]

@RichZ best of luck and may you return to good health very soon.

 

[selles]

You can do it Rich. Thoughts are with you.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Damn Rich. Hoping for the best.

 

[zls44]

Good luck Rich!

 

[Fishy]

Hope everything goes well, Rich.

At least you have a good excuse for your lousy rebounding numbers this season.

 

[Huskies4ever]

Hang in there, Rich. Stay strong!

Thoughts are with you and your family.

 

[intlzncster]

Wishing you good fortune man. Keep us posted on how you are going.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Rich, I'm sorry to hear your health problems...sounds scary as heck. Keep us up on how you are doing. Life can sure kick us when we're down, it seems. But life definitely has its moments. Enjoy yours all you can, for a very long time.

 

[Huskybass]

Come through it well and we will go catch some smallmouth at the Q next spring.

 

[Thirty Three]

Wishing you all the best, Rich.

 

[dennismenace]

Hold on Rich. Thoughts are with you and your loved ones.

Sorry to hear about the radiation treatment. It will be over before you know it. Good luck.

As they say in Spinal Tap, "Too much farking perspective."

Best of luck, Rich. Sorry to hear this. If it's any comfort/consolation I have two friends who have just finished going through the same radiation treatment and both are doing well.

 

[GemParty]

Prayers are with you!

 

[TimTCT]

Sorry...its almost Big Jig season on Zoar. You'll just have to reschedule the treatments. What are these doctors even thinking?

Best wishes Rich

 

[auggie22]

I am piping all of my positive thoughts from UCONN athletics to you.

 

[Adios]

There's time and timelessness. And black holes. We're in the realm of time. I was supposed to be dead as an infant and who knows how many more times after. Modern medicine works miracles but also has it's setbacks. Hope your treatment goes well.

 

[Kitaman]

Rich I liked your post not because I liked it but to offer support.

I had radiation a few years ago and it killed my cancer. I'm still awaiting signs of any noticeable after effect.

Just letting you know it works.
