John's letter

This is what he sent out to his family

Just a little update (someone told me I should let you know)

(in reply to Cindy's email)
No they are not sure what is up, it looks like I had a bleed in my brain; don't know when or how bad. Since I am asymptomatic no one is too worried about it. My next MRI is not until the 1st of Mar, I see the doctor this week and the neurologist basically said if the MRI shows anything he will get me in ASAP. But they are looking at TBI and/or AVM.

I will also get the follow up on my kidney next month and I will let you know how that goes. As far as worrying goes don't, there is nothing anyone can do right now and worrying just makes you sick. The way I look at it is, if it is a TBI they can't fix it, maybe go in and clean up, if it is an AVM neurosurgery has come a long way and it doesn't sound that bad.

As far as the kidney goes, if it is cancer, take it I have another one and if both have to go I am the youngest of seven and very loved. ;) (plenty of spares, I am A- btw)
Prayers are good I will take all you can send, but please don't you worry after all I'm not

Love You All
John

For those that don't know what the kidney thing is about. They found a really small growth on his kidney 5 months ago. Said they wanted to wait 6 months look again then decided how to proceed.
