It was the right call. I just hate that they reviewed it and gave Cinci's D a chance to rest.
No matter -- we scored anyway!  |

You got them Becky!
Dean came up in conversation this last weekend and I had meant to drop you a not asking his status.
A friend just went through a similar procedure. He was fortunate that A) they received the pathology report within an hour or so and B) no further digging was required. The bad was it took a long time for the wound to heal.
They are telling us with melanoma, it takes several days to get the pathology report back...they can't check it immediately like they can with basil cell or other types. Thanks for the prayers! |

Well, after seeing three doctors and having the MRI reviewed by three radiologists, they agree that it's a complete tear of the tendon along with the torn muscles. So, it looks like I'll be having surgery next Wednesday and will have to use a full leg brace for several weeks after that. I'm guessing that I'm going to be on the injured reserve list for most, if not all, of the Vols football tailgating season.  Maybe some of my younger family members can pick up some of the slack. I know it'll be a HUGE challenge replacing me, but....  Good luck Tony! Thoughts and prayers are with you through this surgery...take care and stay strong in rehab!! |

On Monday (12th) my Mom is having a knee replacement and my cousin is having a heart valve replaced -- then on Friday (16th), Dean is having the remaining melanoma cancer removed from his face -- they will leave the wound open for 5-7 days until they get the pathology report back to ensure they got all the cancer...then either sew him up or remove more if needed.
The good news is that the chance of his cancer having spread is well below 10% and they are not doing the lymph node biopsy. The pathology report after this next procedure will tell us if the biopsy was right as to the thickness of the cancer. If they find it's thicker in this next procedure, then the chances of it having spread go up and they will probably do radiation/lymph node removal, etc etc. But we have 3 opinions and they all agree that this is the route to take.
All in all, next week is going to be a long long week...so any thoughts and prayers coming to my family from you guys would be appreciated! Prayers are going up from me for TRO -- hope he does well!

Very disappointed in the OL so far. I expected (and still expect) a big step forward from them this year.
Me too....that's the biggest issue so far, IMO |
