In case things go wrong tomorrow...

Heading to Lubbock Wednesday.

Go under the knife Friday.

seek

Psalms 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 

So here's the scoop - for now.

They found a small malignant tumor on the tail of my pancreas.  

No evidence (so far) that it has metastasized.

I am scheduled for surgery back in Lubbock on December 1.

Back in the big bend...but

Still too muddy to make it all the way home - 

so camped at my friend's highway house north of TFL.

enter into peace

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 

Landed in Lubbock...

Hotel Wi-Fi has gotten a lot faster than it used to be...

better safe than sorry...

Turns out there probably wasn't enough rain over the past couple of days to swamp me in for a Sunday departure but I'm glad I didn't take the chance.  Been quite comfortable where I have been encamped just off the highway and now I am planning to head to Lubbock tomorrow.  Will be staying within blocks of the doctor's office and the hospital.  49,57,50, .10",B

Just My Luck

Of course, there just has to be some rain in the immediate forecast that could throw a wrench in my departure plans.  I AM NOT going to hike out in the mud again - so if the forecast holds, I will leave tomorrow night and stay at a friend's easily accessible highway property until I head to Lubbock on Sunday.  Good thing I have a neighbor who will tend to Ben while I am away.
