Tabby Crabb fighting Cancer

Postby Pete Biro » February 24th, 2011, 11:27 pm

The doc today sent me to the hospital in the city (Albany GA) in an ambulance this afternoon. Said I was in danger of my spine collapsing due to the cancer in my lower back. I will go for it and try to get better. Got no way to really send emails without jumping through a bunch of hoops
Stay tooned.

Pete, I assume Tabby wrote that, so you might put it in quote marks. Otherwise it's confusing.

Sorry for confusion. I had a pre-Tabman sentence and left it out.

It should have started with:

I got a message from Tabby Crabb, AKA Tabman, who's fighting Cancer. He asked me to post the following, " (see message at start of thread ) "

Just off the phone with Tabbby... Doc said surgery went well and he will be in hospital for about a week for radiation and other therapy.

He sounded good, and up-beat and wanted me to thank all those that posted get well messages.
Stay tooned.

Tabman, hope you're feeling better soon. I know what it's like to have back surgery and believe it or not, those surgeons can and do work wonders. So don't get to feelin' sorry for yourself, there's a lot of magic left in the Tabman.

Gina sends a big hug and a squeeze, too.
So get well and keep on truckin'...

Once again just off the phone with Tabby. Sounds great and plans to be home when we get to his home in GA on March 14. Said he's been buying some stuff on Ebay and when he gets home plans to finish off some orders.

Latest TabNEWZ:
Here is the plan. It looks like the radiation therapy will be done by the weeks end but I am speculating. Doctor Jose will reveal it to me at the right time but we will 'take over' Mom's house in Americus. We will set up a hospital room in Mom's large living room and get a contractor to put a door in that big opening so I have some privacy. Jose is arranging for Hospice, they came by today, to administer my pain meds and whatever else I might need.

Thanks, Pete for keeping the communication lines open.

And Tabby--we know you must be on the mend if you're eBaying, you old crossroader...I can see it all now:

Tabman: Doctor! Doctor!
Dr. Jose: What! What's the matter, Tabby?
Tabman: Dude, you have to stop the radiation treatment.
Dr. Jose: Why? Are you in pain?
Tabman: No, I just got outbid on some antique milk bottles. I've 1 minute and 23 seconds to get another bid in...
