I'm taking a vacation right after I play my last game here. Don't know when I'll be back as my baby Bro (age 79) has cancer and I wanna spend time with him. You'll see me when I'm back.. squirly138

Tuesday produced an appointment to have the Foley catheter taken out today (Wednesday) with a 6 hour update to see if the old plumbing still works. Another Foley would have to be installed should any snags show up.
All snags stayed at bay.
After 106 days I am catheter free.

Thank you GinnyB. when it rains it pours. I timed out again because I was so busy returning home and taking care of things after the evacuation that it slipped my mind. I have no excuse but forgetfulness. Anyways your correct it's just games and I'll carry on with the ones that are still going. Thanks GinnyB you seem very nice

Yeah baby! Prunes are great! Those with psyllium fiber powder and a few fiber gummies help make me a regular guy!

Holy Toledo batman.......Too much information. When you give a summary you give a summary of what you have been through.
Dang fatdaddy.....Glad you got to empty that bladder of yours and you are on the mend. Keep with that prune diet the rest of your life and keeps ya regular...lol
Eat right and drink plenty of fluids.
Hopefully Tuesday will come sooner than later.
Stay positive we are all counting on it......

became an 8 night hospital visit.
The two surgeries went off famously, so I'm told, but my bowels decided to take a holiday.
I awoke with another Foley catheter installed. This one with a culvert sized drain compared to the previous tube sized drain.
The first meal I got was a delicious Chicken Alfredo. penne pasta, a salad, a cheesecake dessert, coffee ice cream ... It was delish!
In the mean time I was enjoying the oxycodone pills and hydromorphone injections.
The next morning I mentioned that I expected to plug up like a cheese addict with a 5 pound block of cheddar relative to the wonderful opioids. I asked for some senna.
Breakfast was delish, eggs, bacon, potatoes coffee etc.
Lunch was good but I wasn't very hungry. I ate 4 bites of my burger.
I finally got some senna.
I couldn't eat any of my supper.
I asked and my brother brought me some prunes. I'm now getting Miralax along with senna.
Now I'm back in surgery having a tube stuck up my rear. The plan is to poop out the tube.
Now I am being administered a laxative that could cause heart complications. If I don't poo soon I may lose my colon and be wearing a s--t bag for the rest of my life.
I begin to poo. I poop out the tube. Hooray!
Things progressed well and I came home Wed evening. Unfortunately still with this Foley cath.
The Doctor promised that I would get it taken out Thursday (today). Unfortunately that didn't happen. I may get that done Tuesday.
Meanwhile Oxycodone, recently legalized cannabinoids, naproxen sodium, acetaminophen and phenazopyridine are trying to help me to continue to survive the pain. I'm eating a therapeutic amounts of fibers (including prunes) plus using docusate and am more mobile at home.
That's all for now,
Jim

Just glad that you and your family are ok and your property is safe.. Sorry that you had to endure this situation.. Sometimes it's not worth "Standing your Ground" because it could be detrimental to you and your families health and most of all Safety.. Is there any way you are able to put yourself on Vacation.. I'm not sure of what your membership allows you.. I noticed that you mentioned this situation on your Profile page.. If you can put the dates on it also.. Please be safe, these games are what they are GAMES!!!. What you and your family have gone through is not a fun situation.. PRAYERS are going out to you and the family..

I wanted to apologize to my opponents the reason I timed out. We had a forest fire and was on standby since 7/5. Well wind changed direction and had to evacuate today. That was hard to do. I wanted to stand my ground and fight however fire is nothing to mess with. Anyways it put me timeout on a lot of games. We are safe and pray others are too and our property will be spared. Thank you for your patience and understanding
