No News Isn't Always Good News

[arisbe]

The job I thought I had, I don't, at least for another month. One component of the software I will be training people to use has failed a final test, and can't be released without a fix.

Which might be just as well because...

The tumor I thought I didn't have, I have. The kidney doctor called at a quarter of nine this morning, his first day back. It was not an April Fool call. I have an appointment for Monday. As far as I am concerned, the sooner he can get it out and I can get on with other things, the better.

Thanks for your continuing thoughts and prayers.

Frank

Thanks.

He thinks he can "wedge" it out, which I hope does not mean using a golf club.

We will need to set a date and get the insurance company on board.

It just keeps piling up doesn't it? I've heard that you're never given more than you can handle.. I don't think that's true of everyone, but I do think that you're more prepared than 99% of the population. I hope things pick up for you. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

My present plan is not to try to handle anything, but leave it to the doctors.

I guess 9/11 prepared me for the idea that stuff happens.

well like you say here's hoping they
won't deny you the comfort of the occasional
glass of good whisky!
and well...lets get past this and get down
to serious business, deciding
the problems of civilization, administering
universities and archdioceses etc
and then, but also already now, with you
in prayer

Thanks, Bish.

"Bartender, give me a double, the doctor says I have two more kidneys than I had last week."

Oh no! I hope it all gets fixed quickly for you...

Me, too! Thanks. Best to Beantown.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Of course if I were starting the job Sunday night, I'd really have my knickers in a knot.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

I can feel them already.

[arichi.livejournal.com]

Kind and hopeful thoughts your way, as always.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

They are appreciated.

[dap6000.livejournal.com]

jesus.

wish you just had a shitty sense of humour and this was a really bad april fool's joke.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Isn't my sense of humor crappy enough for you? Let's hope it turns out to be a joke: Man's life saved by kidney stones.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Argh. May they whom that stinker out of there fast, and let you get on with some good things!

*Sending you a whole carton of Murphy-be-gone spray*

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Poor old Murph. Thanks for the spray. (Have you been in a botanica lately?)

[rengal.livejournal.com]

You so totally have our thoughts and prayers, Frank.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

I appreciate them. You will be glad to know that the monks of New Skete are with you in this.

[rengal.livejournal.com]

Sweet. :) Hopefully, we're all giving you a lot of prayer-pull.

[sparkle-shortz.livejournal.com]

Hang in there, F.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm gonna do. Hang in now, hang out later. Thanks.

[anahata-adaro.livejournal.com]

Nothing like a friend that needs good vibes sent their way to put things into perspective. I have a feeling you are going to be fine, and I am going to direct as much of that feeling your way as possible!

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

I feel the fire already.

[dancing-gator.livejournal.com]

You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing the best for you!

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I need to get up to speed and see you at the Lafayette.

[lunasparrow.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear that. You're in my prayers.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And thanks for the verse!

[perceval.livejournal.com]

thinking of you

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Good to have the Scots Bodhisattvas on my side.

[blostopher.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that. God be with you and I hope the doctor can accomplish his task soon.

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

Let's wish him luck. Thanks.

[pioneer11.livejournal.com]

You're going to be fine.

Why? You made a non-praying man say a prayer for you.

*holds God to this*

[arisbe.livejournal.com]

The plot is working. Great Vespers are at six, Divine Liturgy at eleven tomorrow. And thanks.

[lilburne.livejournal.com]

Get well, I'll be praying for you!

[priscamor.livejournal.com]

They say that when it rains it pours... I am sorry you are going through this.. I will keep you in my thoughts...
