Random thoughts while deciding between "Chicken or Beef Broth"

When I went in the hospital, I weighed in at 298.9 (at home).  I came home on Friday and weighed 294.5.  Shelia has said I might be one of the few that actually lose weight in the hospital.  I think this was due to the adhesions that were cut away.  It seems the fear I had after my sister’s surgery came true.  When Dr. Dyer went in, he found an extreme amount of adhesions, and spent the following 2.5 hours cutting them free.  As for where they came from…who knows?  So, because of all the extra cutting that went on, I actually lost weight while in the hospital.  O yeah, its Sunday morn, and I weigh 285.6!  Scary if you ask me!

The hospital was not as bad as I had anticipated.  I think the biggest problem in the hospital was the boredom.  Yes, there were times I was in pain!  Especially on Thursday!  But I survived, and like I said, “Getting stronger every day!”  I really want to Thank all those who made it to the hospital to see me, and also those that were unable.  I knew I was in your prayers and thoughts!.  And a real big Thank You for the “Losers Bench”.  That was an unexpected gift.  I even carried it a step further and had almost everyone who visited sign it when they visited!  The only one I missed was DocWill’s wife.  It was after she left, that we came up with the idea!  Don’t worry Will, the idea of your gift will be passed on, just as you passed this one to me!

Well, I am home and it’s taken me a little while to write this post.  In other words, “I’m getting tired!”  I have placed a picture of the Losers Bench below.  I hope each and everyone of you have a very Merry CHRISTmas, and you each get all you’ve asked for.  I’ve already received mine and am working toward 2008 as the year of the NEW ME!!!!! 

I owe one more BIG THANK YOU to some one special...my wife!  She has made these days seem bearable.  From the "OMG, why did I do this?"  to  helping me decide between beef or chicken brioth!  I Love You!  Oh My! Have a great day!
