YAY! Good Samaritan program at Gainesville will cover $2000. One of the admins at Dr. Sholl's office told us to try for a credit increase on the Care Credit because sometimes they will approve for emergencies. I called and through automated thing think I got a $1900 increase. If that is correct then we at least know we can proceed with the surgery next week when it is already scheduled. Some of our friends are chipping in some funds as well so that will help. He has been filling out applications for several other sources but don't know if any will come through before the surgery. glad to hear of the good news.

Rihannsu - so sorry to hear about scamp. I certainly know the many feelings you are having right now. Give scamp a extra hug and keep us informed.

I would like to tell you about my dog Uke. He was a rescue pup that I have has for almost 10 years. He is like eoyore. Nothing really bothers him, but when my husband died he developed an incontinence problem where he would pee in his sleep. The vet thought it could be caused by grief. He was on medication for a couple years but has no problems now. Dogs certainly do feel loss. Speaking of loss a funny thing happened on the way to the vet. When I took him back to the vet to get the staples removed from his surgery I was not sure how to get him in to the back of the car but he just hopped right on in but when we pulled up to the vets office he was like "no way am I going back in there". We had to drag him out. (Uke is a 95 Lb. black lab and American bull dog mix) I guess he was afraid we would lob off something else. What amazes me about dogs is how they know who is a stranger coming thru the door upstairs and who isn't. Just one of the many amazing things about dogs.

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful recaps! I too live for recaps! Even though I was so lucky to attend three shows myself, it's always wonderful to hear others tell us all the different tidbits about how they felt before and during the concert, their view from their seats, their impressions of this stupendous concert, their impression of the crowd and the fans around them, how Adam looked and sounded (usually other-worldly), Adam's interaction with Brian and Roger, etc etc. When I read these recaps, I feel like I'm experiencing this phenomenon all over again! And, TALON, thanks for your impressions and opinions, including all the angst getting to the Philly concert and telling us how your family was reacting during the concert - precious! When I had the incredible opportunity to meet and talk with Dr. Bri during my backstage tour in Kansas City, I was certainly thinking about you, and wishing that you were there to share in that extraordinary experience! He was so gracious and warm with us - I still feel like that it had to be a dream! And in response to some here feeling that he is on the skinny side, I was somewhat surprised that he wasn't as tall as I thought, and definitely seemed somewhat "delicate". I can still smell the very faint aroma of his aftershave when he hugged me (as I mentioned in my recap, he hugged all ten of us - just wow!). I wish I could make it to another concert, but unfortunately not possible due to many factors. However, memories of these incredible shows will stay with me forever. P.S. COOKEEJAR, if you happen to read this post, how is your precious dog doing? Uke is doing well. The vet is encouraging chemo treatments but I have already exceded my financial ability but the vet did say that they found no cancer evident at this time. Next week we are going to conquer playing ball. Thanks for asking!!!

I was so happy to see Hoppers and her kidlet at the show in DC. It is hard to believe that her kidlet is probably a teenager now. I remember her riding her tricycle around singing "trespass my ass". I wonder how Hoppers is handling "Two Fux" lol

I personally think that inorder for Adam to get a megahit he needs to sing an angsty song into an autotuned mic with marbles in his mouth. It works for others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I know right. Glad I could oblige Red Panda
