I'm glad to hear they found the issues and have a plan to treat it. I must admit the image popped into my head of Lawdog, dragging you out of there by the back of your flack vest in one hand, pistol in the other and both of you shooting at bad guys in an effort to evac you home.

Made me smile and good on him to come help. Get healthy and be well soon.

My vision had the Itchy Paw crew dragging him into the ER like a male dog acts when going to the vets to get 'tutored'. Uh uh, no how, no way.

Sigh.

Any trip to the ER that you survive always goes to the "+" column. Most of us older Boomers have some been-there-done-that tales of woe. And we talk about it too in T.M.I. graphics. Lessee...Bee sting to the eye, sharp stick to the eye, savage dog bite, immensely swollen left testicle, cellulitis of the lower leg, kidney stones, severe dry eye, a suppurating boil, worrisome bowels in which details will be spared. My own goal has always been to draw my Navy retired pay for 50 years or longer. As long as I stay focused on that, life seems to go on OK. Get well and stay well, Sir.

Isn't morphine great? Coming off of it is not so great, but totally worth it.

Yikes, that sounds unpleasant. I'm glad you have good friends and I hope the docs have more than antacid in your future.

Nothing more fun than when your body nudges you and says, "About that extended warranty.."

And you're wondering, "What extended warranty?"

Body: "Exactly."

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, and glad to hear that you are back home. (Also glad to hear that you have a somewhat easy plan of treatment.)

Hope you get to feeling better very quickly!

Meanwhile, does that mean you were in the vehicle for the "cervid courtship" episode that Lawdog wrote the other day?

Hope you're able to get some sleep, Jim. And you're feeling better soon. 🙏
