Boy I'm glad you're almost done
Oncology's the pits
But soon you'll say, "I'm feeling great!"
As opposed to, "It's the . . . ssssssssshave an' a haircut . . . "
Laughter must have been the key
I know it pulled you through
'Cause every time you've made us laugh
It's sent good vibes to you.
One more thing, and then I'll quit
(Usually that's a lie)
Say adios to those medical folks . . .
. . . and kiss your doctor goodbye!

With love and encouragement to one of my favorite participants here at
Foolery, Mr. Bob Cleveland. May you brighten my doorstep another 70
years, Bob, and starting today, BE WELL.
Laurie and your friends at Foolery and Laurie again
Congrats to Bob on the last treatment! Here's many healing thoughts and prayers coming your way!

Yippee! All done.

And thanks so much for the kind woids.

AND.... by the by
Somebody has GOT to say it so it might as well be me...
You're a poet
And don't knoet
But your feet shoet
They're Longfellows.
:)
There. I feel all better now.

Seriously ****GASP**** thanks for the kind words.
I guess I had to learn a good attitude when I was young. I'm not saying I wasn't a cute kid or anything, but mom used to feed me with a slingshot. And she used to tie meat around my neck to get the dogs to play with me.
(You have no idea how traumatic that can be for a teenager....).

"Shave and a haircut"?
I'm bald and I have a beard.
The story of my life......
And to top it all off, my only Christmas present was a 3-week subscription to the Book-Of-The Month Club.

Congratulations on your last treatment, Bob. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.
You have a great sense of humor, which is first and foremost at the top of the list of How to Recover from the "Shhhhhave and a Haircut" lifes throws our way (and life is good at throwing that stuff our way, ask me how I know, but these things make us better and stronger)....Attitude is everything, and you have a marvelous one.
Hooray for the last treatment!
