I just received the following from Tony and thought I should pass it along. This is ALL I know. Please keep Tony and his health in your prayers. dave
I had to have a tumor removed from my head. I just got out of the hospital yesterday (Monday). I texted Ray and Roger but apparently messages didn't go thru. Pass the word that I am, to the best of my knowledge, recovering. The surgery went "well" according to the team leader. Will know more as time goes by. Many more tests are being scheduled. Consultations with Radiology are scheduled. This is my first email I am sending since I got discharged. Tony Kellen

I don't know what to say. Get better soon my friend.

Thoughts and prayers for a fast recovery!

Tony, I'll be happy to keep the oil circulating in that brand new Ninja as needed. Seriously, let me know if you need anything. BTW, how do you know they only took out the tumor?
:D

Glad to hear the surgery went well. Hope the recovery goes smooth for you.

UPDATE, Tony called me today and was in good spriits. I had left him several messages over the past week and he called me today apologizing for not getting back to me and not being able to ride last weekend because he was unconcious in the hospital with cancer in and around his face. I told him don't worry about it, your in the hospital but he kept apologizing. I tried not to laugh, I'm dealing with the shock of his cancer and he is apologizing for not being able to ride, the guy loves to ride!! He said he may come to first thursday this week but will not be able to ride for several weeks for the sake of recovering and some vision limitations due to the surgery. His prognosis is good and it was caught early, there will be some follow up, he didn't know exactly what kind of cancer it was (not skin cancer) but it had progessed quickly and the surgery was to remove tumors in and around his face. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Tony,
Best of luck for a speedy recovery!!! Did they do any cosmetic surgery on you while they were there - should I be looking for a 20 year younger Tony at First Thu? ;)
-
Yikes! Glad to hear that the outlook is good. Heal up quick Tony!

:o Tony,

:o Tony!
Hope you heal quickly and can join us for a ride again soon. It would be great to see you at First Thursday (i'm planning on riding up if the weather is decent) Try to follow your doctors orders and not give them too much grief ok? :D
~see you soon!

Thanks for the kind comments people. I appreciate the support. Hopefully I'll be back on a bike before too long.
In the mean time, I expect to be at First Thursday. If you see a guy who looks like he just lost a swordfight, that be me.

Tony,
I'm relieved to hear your prognosis is good and you're expected to recover. Your consistent positive attitude and joyful personality is needed by all of your friends. :)
God bless,

Update on my situation.
I have full vision in both eyes now. I have been able to ride a bike to and from the hospital, which is about 5 miles away.
My strength still isn't there yet so it will be awhile before I can do a Slimey Crud type of ride. I'm hopeful my energy returns
sooner or later.
-
Great to hear that Tony!! If you ever want to just putz around town a bit to work on getting that strength back let me know. If I can I will!!
-
Tony, you are such a dear person, hope you heal soon.

Tony made yesterday's TRI STATE BOOGIE ride, about 450-475 miles for most. Now thats a die hard- 19 days after surgery, he's out schooling the youngsters again.
Well said Lloyd....it was great to see him out there having fun & doing much better.
