Hi everyone, I am back. Sorry I have been gone so long but I was in the hospital. I had emergency surgery on my bowel/intestines and had to be closely monitored and cut open a few times. I just got the staples taken out yesterday and have a huge hole in my belly because some of them ripped. Regardless I am in great health emotionally and spiritually and I also got rid of the house guest from hell. (yes we let yer another person move in for "just a few days". Long story short we are making the spare room my long awaited ritual/meditation room and no one, I mean no one is staying here more than an hour or so. Ha ha. This time really showed my girlfriend the error of her ways in always wanting someone near us. Anyhow, how is everyone. R and H and J how are you guys and your families? Let me tell you, I may have been laid up but the goddess kept me steadily blessed with winning the numbers and made sure I had all my needs met since the day I got home. I am going to lay down but I just wanted to say I missed y'all terribly and hope to talk soon and hope all is well. Have a blessed evening.

Hey!!! ok, so you have to tell more than " I was in the hospital having my bowels worked on. What happened??

It's the same old same old around here, just doing things a day at a time.

Really J, spill it.....but I'm glad to hear the you are on the mend and doing ok.

Like April said, same ol' thing here....it's just hot and hot and mor hot!

take care, R

Sorry Guys didnt mean to be so vague. Anyway. I had a hernia for two years and last month I realized I could no longer push it back into place. I also noticed that I hadn't used the bathroom in about a week and that where my hernia was, there was also a huge lump about the size of a baseball. I was in pain more and more daily until finally I Couldn't stand up and was really sick. When I went to the hospital they did a ct scan and saw that my bowels had clogged with (you know what) and had gotten caught or entangled in the hernia opening. As they became more and more clogged it got bigger making it harder and harder to retract from the hernia opening. Needless to say the bowel tore and you know what ended up flooding my body which caused a massive infection. So I had emergency surgery and floods of antibiotics and close monitoring. I have to go back though because last week when my staples busted they left me with a giant hole in my stomach that was too big to sew shut so they told me to pack it daily with gauze and cover it. Well lately the last two days it has as horrible odor and is draining terribly and I am developing a fever and so you know the drill because I could become septic. So wish me luck and I Ill catch up when I get home.

Good luck. Hopefully it's no more than a staff infection. Those are relatively easy to treat.

Yeah, you take care and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. R.
