Ratty Woes
Nov 27th, 2020 at 2:39pm
 
    Some of you might have noticed me MIA for the past week and a half.  Sunday before last I had another of those damned intestinal blockages.  It was the same gruesome procedure as the other times with the NG tube and pumping.  I'm at about 75% now and slowly getting my mojo back.
    At first they were a year apart.  Then nine months.  The last one was only four months ago.  This last one made five in four years.  Consequently I've decided to take the bull by the horns an deal with this once and for all. After the holidays I'll be having surgery to correct this.  It will be a relief not having to live with this hanging over my head.

Good to hear you're on the mend. Hope the surgery can get it sorted once and for all.

I was definitely wondering RM. I was glad to get your text. Do you have any idea what is causing this?

Happy to hear from you Rat Man.  As others have said, I'm hoping your surgery is effective.

Thanks, guys.  I'm a tough old buzzard.  I'll be OK.

And if someone says, "You're full of it!", you can give them a nice smile and say, "Nope, they cleaned me out."

That should leave them puzzled long enough to make your escape... Grin

Tomorrow is the big day. I think I have my ducks in a row. If this surgery goes well this will hopefully be my last hospital stay for a good long time.

The surgery went well says the surgeon. I was out for about four hours. They were able to do it laparoscopically, without any resectioning. Roomy Mike will  help with the dogs until I'm capable. Now I just have to heal and time will tell. Thanks for all the kind words.

That’s great news so far!  Get some rest, and keep us posted.
