Damn! I knew those breakfast links I had the morning they released me from the hospital tasted familiar!Did the doc let you bring home the old piece of sausage casing for a keepsake?
Thanks all for the well wishes! After a little issue with BP meds, I'm feeling like I've turned a little corner. Planning to go back to work tomorrow, half days at first, and looking forward to it. Getting a little stir crazy at home, having caught up on all the Gunsmoke reruns. Little pain I felt inside has subsided. Sill have what looks like three bullet holes and a knife wound that need a little tending, but they are closing and have no pain. Regaining energy is the big thing now. It will be slow, but after sufficient time, I feel like I'll get back to where I was pre-op, which was feeling as well as I had in a couple of years.
One great thing is that the Doc tells me I can resume a regular diet without fear of Diverticulitis. I have found thus far that with eighteen inches of my descending colon gone, the digestive process happens a little quicker but can be hindered by overeating if not careful. Otherwise, this part of living is great to return to and the old routine is welcome.
With a little luck and attention to better health, I plan to be around to pull for the Orange and Blue for a good while yet. I'm still looking, like many, for the pendulum to swing where football is concerned and when that happens, it'll be good tonic for us all.
Thanks Chief! I saw one of the movies where he was a rancher with a daughter. Even had a couple of the old Gunsmoke regulars in there...Morgan Woodward, who was a frequent guest star and played a variety of roles, and Pat Hingle, who replaced Milburn Stone ("Doc") for a season while he recuperated from health issues I believe. I enjoyed seeing it. Next to the Duke, Matt Dillon was my man. We never missed Gunsmoke on Monday nights when I was growing up and were very sad when it finished its run. Glad it is on TVland and now INSP on Saturday mornings (black and whites with Chester/Dennis Weaver from the late '50's and '60's).Great that you are doing well, I saw some Gunsmoke movies recently that you might enjoy.
He is no longer a law man but still can shoot and fight.
