The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Ringo, today is going to be a great day. For starters, you don't have cancer! A little surgery and you're as good as new. I hope all goes well with you and I will say a prayer for you. I know your good karma is coming back because yesterday is gone, history, and will soon be forgotten. Have a great day and keep a smile on your face.

Ringo, this may be a good time to reflect on your priorities. You have a wife and daughter. You have an easily treatable medical condition. I'm assuming you have a home and food and a job. My father used to say, "I once complained that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." It sounds like you have been under an incredible amount of stress lately, and maybe a timeout is what you need, to unwind and start appreciating what you have. If you continuously take out your stress and fear by lashing out at those around you with anger, you will very likely lose everything you care about. Wife, children, home, poker.. Poker and this forum should not matter more than taking care of you and your loved ones.

Honestly,from a guys point of view, I would be scared really scared of getting surgery on my arse. Heck I was a wussy even when I got my back tooth pulled, and I was in a bad mood for a week prior to getting it done, so I can certainly understand how you feel. The great news is it isnt cancer, and the bummer news is your banned for a bit. Even if you had cancer there is alot that can be done to help ya out there, and they are coming up with new stuffs all the time to fight cancer. I truly believe in another 10 years time, cancer can be cured effectively, or even eradicated completely from a patient in just a few visits. I heard on the news they even found a new way to possibly stop the HIV virus from mutating to AIDS, and the results of the findings could pave the way for a vaccine even. Even if you get a terrible disease, dont ever lose yourself thinking your at deaths door much to early.

We al love the ringo that we have came to know and adore here at NDN, and I wouldnt change a thing. Even the ringos of the world need a tampon and a midol every now and then. I wish you well on your butt surgery, and if you swing that way, tell em to put a few extra stitches in there for your good friend panam!
