Thanks to all of you for the well wishes and prayers. It hasn't kept me down.......as a matter of fact, I'm thinking I should try to get on it tomorrow. 200 stapels in my gut and I still gotta ride........it's in the blood. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
JC, this is gonna be gross but given your post above it just has to be shared. My dad, God love him, in the last several years before he passed had a whole host of medical issues. And he just kept right on plugging along.
There was this one spring where some of his plumbing had to be re-routed. Had to get a colostomy. The doc did the work. Discharged him from the hospital a couple of days later. And sent a note of all the things not to do.
Well now Dad, being Dad, took it literally. If the note didn't mention something he wanted to do and he'd decided he wanted to do it than you can damn well bet he was going to be out there doing. The note didn't mention not riding the bumpy old riding mower over the not completely smooth two acre yard. And Dad decided he wanted to mow.
Of course there was a problem. Things kind of bounced loose a bit. Some work had to be redone. Doc asked "what happened." Dad responded "I was mowing the f***ing yard! It wasn't on the list gawda**it!!"
I laughed. Doc just shook his head.
I miss my Dad.
