T minus nine days until surgery

I'm having an operation in a little over a week.

It should help with the set of tires I'm carrying on my frame.

Good luck!

good luck

The best to you.

Thoughts go with you. It'll be behind you in no time, and all will be well.

Also be thinking up cool stories for how you got your new scar. I always say you can't go wrong with claims of injuries sustained while saving orphans from a burning schoolhouse. Maybe say you cut yourself on shattered window glass while leaping out with the last orphan in your arms...?

Or keeping the cats from stealing the good beer. It's supposed to be laparoscopic so it'll be five small scars instead. Of course your idea might still work, that the glass shattered and cut me in five different areas.

wishing you good health! might I suggest that for a scar story: you were stealing beer and cats from cazy ol' farmer john. Both you and the cat caught some buck-shot as he chased you though a burning corn field with a shot gun.

Sending good vibes from across the pond, Brother Sprite

Maybe it'll look like you tangled with a very large cat over a case of beer. Best of luck!

May success be the outcome!

Beware! Your cats may not recognize you once you've lost some weight, and I've heard they are VERY protective of the beer.

T minus three days now.

Getting to the climbing of the walls phase now.

Had my pre-admission call from the hospital today.

Sometimes when I am facing something that could be unpleasant, I think past it, imagining myself in the time when it will all be over, and often that helps. It'll be over soon.

Sorry, new to thread here... are you getting a bypass or stomach stapling or what?

Rev. Powell · July 07, 2017, 07:40:45 PM

Most surgery is nothing to worry about. The drugs will take care of all the pain and discomfort. You can watch bad movies while you recover.

Actually, I wouldn't mind some minor surgery right now.

You have the surgery, and I'll go with the drugs. Used to love being in the hospital getting Demerol shots about 10 minutes before the local Kung-Fu Theater came on. LOOOOOOOVED those movies while on Demerol.

Sorry, I seemed have drooled a bit.
