Well, Dad's surgery went well.
The doctors said that if they found cancer in the lymph nodes that would'nt operate, but instead move on with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
But they went in, found no cancer in the nodes and went ahead and removed his entire left lung. The next day, the doctor reported that they think they got all of it. Dad should only be in the hospital for a few more weeks for physical therapy, and then he'll be able to go home.
It's going to mean some major lifestyle changes for him...and I don't mean just quitting smoking. He'll have to leave his job at the airport, which is way too stressful. But that's not really too big a deal since my Dad runs his own online hobby buisness. He's just going to have to start taking it easier from now on since he's only got one lung.
Now for a little story on the homefront.
For the past few months I've been see-sawing back and forth on the decision to get my ears pierced. I've seen alot of other dudes with them both pierced, including my Kenpo Karate teacher, and have been wondering how I'd look with them.
So finally, yesterday morning, I went out on a whim, and did it. I got both my ears pierced. But right away, something just did'nt feel right about it. I kept worrying about them and wondering what others would think of it. And late last night I finally realized that I'm just not ready for it yet. I still need to build a little more self-confidence first. So I took them out.
Yeah, I know. I wimped out. But, truly, if I worry about it that much I need to wait.
No. I'm not giving up on the idea. Not at all. I'm just going to wait a little while longer on it, that's all.
Maybe I should go for a tattoo first.
Anyway, that's all I got for now.
I think I'll set up a youtube account. I have some video from Karate I might show here.
Later my friends.

Hope your dad is feeling better!
They started doing at it while I was already in the middle of them.
Stupid me for being in the middle I guess.
