What a surreal trip the last 12 days have been. A belated Happy Birthday to Scott The motorbot show pictures were outstanding, pure genious on the creations & coloring, wish I could have made it. Well my surgery went well (all 7 1/2 hours of it) had my own room for 6 days, hospital food sucks, but the morephine kept me going. Was able to get out of bed on the 3rd day, but just enough to walk around the ward a couple of times before the pain & exaustion got to me. Came home last friday, the patholigy report came back on my tumor, and showed no signs of cancer WOO HOO. Of course I will still undergo chemo for a while to make sure, but all looks great. I had 2 home care specialist come by to check on me, and make sure I was doing alright, and that I was comforable using & changing my ostomy bags. That part sucks as I will have that the rest of my life, BUT I will be alive, so it's all good. Now to the fun stuff, Scott, Terrell & the rest of you that signed the header & sent the Clear Blue Gator, that was too much, Judy used it as a reward to get me out of bed at home on the 2nd day, and man was I suprised. I've said it before, and can't ever say it enough, YOU GUYS ROCK. I really appreciate all the prayers, thoughts, & well wishes that have came from everyone. You guys have been a better support group than some of my friends. I get my staples out of my backside, 05/06 so it will be easier to walk & I Have 12 days to get my strenghth up to make Monsters in the Mangroves show.
pt 2 So Judy & I definitly will be there, hopefully without needing pain killers, and will bring trades & freebies of course Again thanks to all, & I will see you guys at SUPER7 FLA on the 15TH
BLEAAAAAAARRRGGH! Isn't hospital food the worst?!? Questionable soggy meatlike products, lukewarm boiled vegetables, salt-free "seasoning packets" etc. sorry... Welcome back Frank!!! All I can say is you're a bigger man than me brother... glad to hear that you are now at home and healing. Keep on the path & take care of yourself so that we can all hang at the Mangroves... no more "unexcused absences" from you, sir. You are one brave motherf-er; here's to another step conquered!
So happy to hear you're up and around Frank, and super excited you'll be here on the 15th! And the residents of the Winter Haven Gator Reserve look to be flourishing in their new found habitat.
Hope you feel better Frank!!! Wish I was going to Mangroves shoe to hang with everyone. And grab some crab cakes down on the corner. (Damn I dream about those)
So stoked to see this!!! Your PMA is awesome and amazing. All hopes for a speedy recovery. Have fun at the S7F show and please share pix!!
Glad to read things went well! I read the Morphy Auction was due to someone's death, and I saw some items you were trying to sell and my stomach sank... But a quick skullbrain search and I found this thread. Woot! (and condolences to those who knew the person in question)
Thanks for the concern, but yes I'm still kicking Had a setback & missed the Monsters show, and praying for a miracle to make the S7 anniversary party tomorrow, we'll see Frank
