    I've been following the surgery stories and have great empathy for anyone going through these ordeals.
    I just had a section of my intestine removed Tuesday. During surgery an afib attack occurred. Everything is now stabilized but an appt. with a cardiologist is now in the works.
    Again, here's to a quick recovery and positive results.

    PS my brother served in the US Marines in Vietnam 1970

    Good morning. Slept in late today so it is a quick breakfast then off to the gym. Need to put gas in the wife's car and pick up a couple of veggies from the grocery store. Football is the order of the day.

    Morning all:

    Leave it up to Mike to find a solution! :laughing:

    Sorry to hear about the shoulder Bill, my hunting buddy gets shots in both his shoulders, both his knees, his thumb, and his toe for pain, and also has to wear nitro patch for back pain. You're in good shape compared to him, hope they can get you fixed up.

    Arbie, hope you heal up quickly and be back to normal in a timely manner.

    A friend of my wife was a drop-dead surgeon. In medical school, she commented to another female surgeon that an erect penis was a sign of testicular torsion. Her friend said, "No, that is not a sign of testicular torsion," but she answered, "But every man I have examined has been.... oh no!"

    Before I had a vasectomy, my ex-wife, who was a surgical RN, shaved me. I asked, "Don't they do that before surgery?" and her comment, "No one gets to handle your crown jewels!

    Medical professionals have seen it all and don't bat an eyelash, even with mystery black spots, angiokeratoma of Fordyce. I followed a diet of lots of fiber and lots of water, and it cleared up. It did freak me out. If you Google it, it's NSFW!
