Thanx OP:) Lil update. Went to surgeons office this AM--he removed about half the staples (12) & is real pleased with the healing process. Next appt. in two wks to remove last staples & schedule final surgery to hook everything back up. Yeah, yeah, this is getting old for me too! I heard from wsherrick & he is doing as well as can be expected. I believe he is on a transplant list as we speak:) Again, thanx for the support & prayers guys. One more & we should have er licked :box:

Thought ya got rid of me didn't ya??? Doc apt this AM to get last of the staples removed & get a date for final reconnect surgery plus fixing double hernia. To think all this has been going on since the end of April. If any of you think this is getting old hearing about it, trust me when I tell ya it's getting REAL OLD being the resident cutting board Oh well, I know the doc is doing a good job & there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel Seems like every time & start getting back physically, it's time for another surgery & pretty much puts me back to square one. Point of interest-- I'm not 18 anymore & all that cutting just takes it's toll!

Fred, Are you SURE you want to phrase it like this? Pretty scary to think of "light" and "tunnel" with your upcoming surgery!freetown fred wrote:Oh well, I know the doc is doing a good job & there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel
