[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3364822, member: 44328"] Aw, man, now I feel bad for making a sympathy play. LOL! But it's a happy ending, so don't feel too bad for me. I guess I blacked out one morning, and broke my rib in the fall. Didn't remember it until later in the day, I just had a very fuzzy memory of waking up on the bathroom floor. But in the meantime, I went to the emergency room with a sharp pain in my upper abdomen. Since I didn't remember blacking out and falling at that point, they ended up doing a number of tests, and finally a CT scan to identify the source of the pain. The CT scan indicated a mass on my kidney, that had not metastasized. So... they removed the kidney, and verified with biopsies that it was cancer, but had not spread anywhere, so it's been completely removed. So the broken rib and inability to remember what caused it turned out to be very fortunate. And I'm all but recovered from the surgery. And I found out a lot more people care about me than I would have guessed (or at least acted like they do, LOL!). [/QUOTE]
