“So what changes for you now that they’ve decided you don’t have lung cancer?”

TONY
“Not much. It’s just a new lease on life, if you know what I mean.”

Looking good

TONY
“Did you hear my good news?”

PHILIP
“Not that I remember.”

TONY
“Well I don’t have the cancer in the lung they thought might have it. I was just at St. Joe’s with my doctors and that’s what they told me.”

PHILIP
“What about the other lung?”

TONY
“They don’t know yet but it’s looking good if you ask me.”

“Look what some guy handed me just before I got on the bus last night: a full pack of Peter Jackson’s. “Pretty good, eh?”

PHILIP
“Are they the best?”

TONY
“Well if I had to choose, that would be Export A’s. But lots of folks can’t handle those ones. Those are the real killers if you ask me.”

Tony is in the hospital

November 18, 2010

Hello all,
Tony just called me from the hospital. He’s been admitted to St. Joe’s for bleeding in his lungs. I will see him later today and let everyone know what I find out. In the meantime, I can say that his voice did not sound as weak as the last time he called me from the hospital.
