You really should keep an eye on that guy
Speedy says danke.
Chuck's a tough & determined dude. He'll kick this, & that's no small feat, even for someone who's already done well against liver cancer.
As many may be aware: chemotherapy's arguably as challenging as cancer itself -- not for wusses!

Friday, he was eventually released back to his home, after a CT scan & tests revealed no further complications like stroke, hemorrhage, etc.
Back at doctor Saturday; MRI today. Understandably, he's not fond of those loud machines that you're literally crammed inside of for hours.

The MRI will reveal a 'report card' / milestone of how well treatment's worked. Talking to him tonight, Chuck sounded as clear & focused as I've ever heard him. From that, I'm betting the MRI results will show progress.

Likewise: appetite's growing, nausea's diminishing, & he's resting up pretty well. His family's spirits are lifting a bit, & his kids are rebounding well while spending time with dad.

Next chemo round starts ~Thanksgiving. Hope doctor allows their travel plans.
I know his family appreciates the concern & support of RLers like you, NC TrackRat (PM back at ya), 3Healey, & many others.

Thank you Jager. Chuck looked so happy to be going to PP.....

Jo-- Y'know, I should be thanking you for much!
I was very happy to find those shots of a cheerful Chuck; our ride diverted to the E.R. way too soon afterward, & his big Palooza weekend was over

Another super-important photo: in honor of those who have served...

It was great seeing all the familiar faces and just as great putting faces with names and their spectacular cars - Jager, Mike.

I got a message from Chuck that the seizure took quite a lot out of him and the docs aren't sure what brought it on.

Now, back to the original subject of this thread, here's the only picture I took the whole weekend. Certainly a worthy subject.

FisterD

It looks like a good time!
Jäger, thanks for looking after our friend Chuck. Sorry he couldn't make it to all of the fun but hopefully all will be well with him and his family.
Chuck, the duck looks fantastic!

Wow .. that's the second Turquoise Blau Turbo S seen here in a month! As a sidenote here .. I've noticed that big wheels REALLY help the Panamera's rear end. There were several in Monterey with 20" wheels including an Amethyst Metallic 2012 with blacked out side trim that really looked "Russian Mafia' cool

+993! Man, there's a lot of Porsche's at Chuck's house

TURQUOISE BLAU S aka to us southern 'mericans.... TURQUOISE BLUE S!!! LOVED IT! I wish I had my camera ready when we were all in the parking lot down on the lower level by the convention center Friday night. He came out of the mixer to get something out of the car and propped his beer bottle smack on the top of the car . The Concours person in me took over and I stood there with my mouth agape! I'd never do that, then I started to laugh! It was too funny. It would have been a GREAT picture!

Brian-- Great meeting the icons of Palooza: you, your CGT, & 993 TT!
Hmmm. What's Latin for "993 Speedster overload"?
Darin-- I appreciate it. However, any RLer would have done at least that. I'm glad it worked out so well, all things considered.
For example, Chuck's wife guessed that had the seizure happened in lil' ol' Eureka Springs, he would have had a life-flight or similar to a bigger city's hospital.

Chuck-- Remember when we pulled into the Emergency Room drop-off?
I think they expected me to ask them to valet park the 993, not jump out yelling for medical attention!
Gyeesh, imagine if we had been in a duck-tailed delight like yours or Darin's -- as the techs outside the E.R. rubber-necked in admiration, we'd still be trying to get you admitted to the E.R.!
+993 ^^
First thing I heard at Palooza was that this was one of only two Blue Turquoise Turbo S' in existence, & that the other is Seinfeld's. I mentioned the other now belongs to a friend who's a RLer
...& thought to myself how lucky I was to have seen both rarities in person within a month!
Here's why I said the same thing Fri as we watched him -- I snagged a similar shot in CA...

That's a little classier than a wet bottle of beer even though it appears to be a cheap plastic glass. lol

Jag ~ Did you get any pictures at PP? I couldn't download my stupid card into my Mac (Sony and Mac no likey each other) so I had to go to Walmart to get a disc made. I'll download them tomorrow after Robert picks them up for me.

Who took that picture of me and you? I need a copy so I can pumpkinize you and post it....

Cactus

So how is Chuck?

JPP

Ruh, Roh ... I guess I Blau it!

Re: The TB Turbo S

He is the original owner of that car. IIRC a former race car driver (sorry, don't remember what series). Has a couple of other P cars too.

IIRC apx 15k mi. on the car, as I said, original owner.

RJT

Who does this belong to?
