The JSW Level
With all do respect to Elvis, the overused expression works here. I have been much less active on Sycamore Pride the past few months and I thought I needed to explain what is going on here, as I am listed as a moderator and have been woefully inadequate in that responsibility. I am not missing in action either, but my time has been focused on some health issues and I wanted to fill you in on it.
Two days after Homecoming (the timing was no accident), I had a large tumor removed from behind my knee and unfortunately, it was found, not surprisingly, to be malignant. I have been diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer and tomorrow I will have another surgery to make sure that all has been removed. The surgery involves a skin graft and several procedures to make sure it has not spread. I told Boda a few weeks ago that I was dealing with this but most of you are not aware of my situation. I didn't want anyone thinking that I am losing interest in Sycamore Pride or Indiana State but until I get thru the recovery of this surgery and complete my treatments (likely to be radiation), I simply cannot be as active on here as I have been in the past.
As I tell anyone who asks, this is NOT a death sentence and I fully expect a full recovery and other than a possible limp, I hope to be 100%. If the treatments don't bother me too much, I hope to be at 1-2 basketball games at Hulman Center before the end of the year. I hope you understand why I will be not as frequent on here for a month or so and I hope you know I will be looking in often, just not contributing as much.
Thanks for understanding. GO TREES~
