Fucking rights I had cancer surgery again yesterday. I hadnt posted anything about it on here this time because i was actually worried about this one. They told me the best I could hope for was that they would have to cut out a large muscle and then do a muscle graft off my back and a skin graft off my leg. Needless to say that didnt sound very promising for my drumming.... the worst case was that they were going to cut my arm off. I was sweating a little this time. well i went in yesterday, they knocked me out, I woke up a few hours later and they told me the news. It went better than they had ever even dreamed possible.The surgeon was so good he managed to get in there, cut everything bad out and sew me up without needing the grafts at all. It's a day later and here I am up and walking around and active again already. Instead of a year or so to heal from the grafts, they told me wait three weeks before doing anything.... fucking rights I'm still here.. and I can still play music. - Fri, 1 Oct 2004 6:30pm

Wow Jay, really good to hear you came through it as best as possible.. you seemed a bit glum at Cryptospy, was it the next day you went in? Maybe the thundering ability of Flo's drumming helped boost your system! - Sun, 3 Oct 2004 10:23am

Cancer is a very scary thing to have to deal with, glad to hear everything went so well. I can't imagine what hearing: "You may lose your arm" must have felt like. - Sun, 3 Oct 2004 6:15pm

Ya when I saw you at cryptopsy I had just figured out that my surgery was scheduled for the 30th, which was exactly a month after my dad had died so it was all getting a bit much at that moment. But ya Flo definitely made me want to keep my arm let me tell ya. Gonna see if we can get a show booked for my birthday, december 15th, celebrate it right sitting on my fucking drums. - Sun, 3 Oct 2004 11:33pm

Jay, was this Cancer somehow connected to your recent skateboarding accident which injured your arm? - Mon, 4 Oct 2004 12:38pm

I still think you should score as much chemo weed as the'll give you to share with me, Roy & the Rickker.

I'll answer for Jay since he(surprisingly) hasn't. The cancer doesn't have anything to do with the skating accident.

@Jay: Get the fuck away from that naked dude, and we'll see you this weekend. - Tue, 5 Oct 2004 11:18pm
