Once more into the breach, my friends.
 
Tomorrow I go into the hospital for my third bowel resection. On the unpleasant experience chart I'd give it around an 8......maybe a 9. Getting there was no fun either...I'm down to 145 lbs.......down 10lbs in the last month, 20 since I retired, & 30 from "normal".

Assuming I wake up, this one *should* last me till I take the dirt nap.

Playing the cards dealt best as I can.

You've got a good spirit. That will get your through but good luck anyway.

God bless you and your family.

Like sc_rufctr says, You've got a good spirit. That will get your through but good luck anyway.

God bless you and your family.

Good luck. As other have said having a good attitude is key to recovery.

We are rooting for you!

Good luck, JP!

Good attitude goes a long way with any surgery. Having Crohn's disease and 18" of my intestines cut out, I feel your pain. Literally. Hang tough and keep hitting the morphine drip button!

Good luck and get well soon.

If I may ask, what condition makes this operation necessary once, let alone three times? Is this just the hand you were dealt or the result of lifestyle choices? Just curious. I keep wondering when my luck is going to run out.

Zeke 07-25-2012 06:36 AM

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hugh R 07-25-2012 06:39 AM

Good luck and report back as soon as you can, or have a family member report on your prognosis.

Jim Richards 07-25-2012 06:43 AM

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, JP! SmileWavy

We will be thinking of you. You seem to have a good spirit. Keep it up.

Gutes Besserung x 10 !

Karma sent JP, Like Hugh said, have someone report the results if you are not able for a while.

Crohn's disease......30odd years worth.
You could say it's a life style thing. If you don't eat, it's not a problem.:rolleyes:

Where do you rate the effin' thing? I may be overly sensetive.....I'm a pretty sensetive guy.;)

Best of luck, hope you have a speedy recovery.
