CT Scan and Blood Test Results

Friday afternoon, I received an envelope in the mail from my oncologist, the results from recent blood work. So I called Gail, Dr. Malviya's nurse, with questions about some "high" readings and about some comments I did not understand. She explained and said not to worry. She also offered the results of Monday's CT scan:

it is fine!
(...which must be sung, not merely spoken)

(She said the CT scan report did did not say the hernia is any bigger. So far, so good with that!)


When people had recently asked how my test went, I had told them I did know yet, but I was just going to ACT healthy!

(More singing!)

Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with strings and flute
(image: Theresa and Jeffrey!)
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Psalm 150


PS Thanks, James, for taking care of the RSS (technical aspect)! (per previous post)

the future. It surely works for

just got to spend some time at your blog while my christmas letter is printing out. In the Orthodox church, we regularly sing the Praises (Psalm 150) on feastdays -- certainly at every Nativity of Christ and at Pascha (i.e., passover, as Christ is the new Passover Lamb, i.e. Easter).
Sing praises to our God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King!
