Warning, long and uninteresting

A few months ago I went awol on the boards. A couple of old friends asked if OK? Replied, just a little down. Got worse and then came nausia and loss of appetite. Came to a head in Sept when the wife and I went to dinner for her birthday. With no appetite I ordered light and it ended up on the front of me. Embarrassing. After 30 minutes in the back private part of the ladies room, wife cleaned me up and took me home. 2 days later I was in the emergency hospital with many tests, x-ray, ct scan, mri, ultrasound, vitals and blood tests. Then into surgery for a drain tube into my chest and to the gall bladder. Spent 3 days in ICU and another 3 in a patient room with round the clock monitoring. The sack and the drain tube was filled with dark brown bile for about a week, then cleared up and there is no more. Doctor said he would take the bladder out in 6 weeks to give it time to heal and and not infect other organs. It was close to septic. Well, that 6 weeks ends tomorrow and Tuesday it comes out along with this dang tube and bag. Wish me well Hokies
