Sorry to have been so absent. Unexpected health issues. Not to bore, but had a bout of diverticulitis at the beginning of March and couldn't shake it. Wound up being a perforation and had to have surgery pretty quick. Ostomy bag was a nice parting gift (but will have another surgery in June to reconnect the sewer)! Got out of the hospital 7 days later and was recovering, but had to go back for another week with an infection. Been back home 2 weeks or so and haven't felt too sporty until today, so I hope I'm on the upswing. Hope to watch the replay soon and will certainly share my impressions. Just so you know I'm not slacking.
Would have been preferable!
Live long and prosper Cover2...

Appreciate it all guys. Stud and I will both probably tell you that there are, indeed, a lot of things about growing old that sucks, but it beats the heck out of the alternative! Like the Duke once said..."Every day above ground is a good day!"C2, glad you're recovering. I got a PM from one of the fellas telling me you were out of commission. Glad you chimed in. This board is growing, but we're still small enough to care about each other (well, most of us!! :D ). Getting old sucks....I'm knocking on 50's door and wonder where all those years went everytime I look in the mirror. Get well!

Not much pain in the @ss. My primary concern is that the ol' bunghole doesn't forget it's part in the process when they reconnect the pipes in June! As for saving the t.p., it's not as much as you think as you still have to have it when emptying and cleaning the bag. There is a sense of efficiency you get from this process, though I miss some good reading time.Wow cover, hope you get to feeling better. Sounds like a real pain in the ass.
Now think of how much toilet paper you are going to save.
As alluded to above, I'm just looking forward to taking one conventionally again. Straight, sideways, or similar to soft serve ice cream...no preference, just results.@cover2 , feel better soon, hope you can shyt straight again soon
40 pounds is the number, as that's what I've dropped. Haven't been this lean in a while. Certainly an effective way to lose weight, but I think I'd rather give Jenny Craig the first shot! I'm hangin' and starting to feel better after the first month and a half. Be sure you all are getting enough fiber!Get well C2. My 22 year old niece recently got diagnosed with diverticulitis and some other colon stuff, lost 40 pounds in two months but she is better now. Hang in there bro.
