Hi All,
Surgery was a resounding success! Awoke without any pain or numbness on my left side. Left the hostpital on Saturday AM able to walk on my own. Even get to have a drink a day after two weeks!
Between the pain meds and neck collar I'm wearing for the next 6 weeks I'm typng semi-blind, and correcting all the typos is too mucha of a pain, so please just laught them off!
I can spend about 15 min twice a day leyboarding, so I may be a litel less active than before, but I'm thrilled I didn;t have to wait a full week tp start typing again.
I can't thank all of yo enough for your prayers and good thoughts--nop doubt that helped me recover so quickly!

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.
Glad to have you back John, take it easy!!!
Glad to see you back on the forum.
As others have said WB~~! I hope you have a full recovery and everything goes as you plan.

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?
Good to hear your up and around, John.
All the best,

Perfect - 15 min typing, and another hour and a half reading. You said nothing about not being able to scroll a mouse[:D]

Thanks for making me laugh so much, guys! Reading my first post makes me glad I put in the disclaimer about typos! [:D][:D][:D]
Of course, as soon as I can start drinking again (this weekend) the typo rate will probably go up again . . . ah well, it's a small price to pay, methinks!

I just realized I only need 1 post to make the 'Advanced' club, so here it is. I expect balloons, whistles, streamers etc......[:D]

You're so right! I broke out a bottle of Glenrothes that was bottled in 1982--the year my son was born. Had two wee drammies today with both my boys (the graduate is almost 23, and the younger will be 21 in 9 days, so I figured it's time to treat them to the good stuff). I just purchased a bottle of Bowmore 21 that was bottled in 1984, the year the younger boy was born, and in 2008 I will buy a bottle of The Macallan 18 year old that will have been bottled in 1990 when my daughter was born. I'll break open the Bowmore 21 in two years when the younger boy graduates, and the Macallan 18 will sit until 2012 when my now-15 year old daugher graduates from college.

Hey John! Welcome back to the world of the walking! Glad to hear the op went well[:)] Sorry to hear that they damaged the spell checker during surgery, but it sounds like the single malt taster came through without a nick....You DO know the good stuff! Sorry about the tardy "Welcome Back".....my only excuse is the I've been fishing. Managed to pick up 4 Kings, 3 Halibut and 2 Green Ling Saturday, so soon's I can, I'll smoke you up some post-op recovery meds, (too late for the Green Ling...they dedicated their lives to fish tacos last night[:p]) [;)][:D]
35 years of extinguishing smoking stuff and now I'm wondering WHY!

Kummock, my friend, the e-mail you sent me shortly after I returned home was the best medicine anyone could ask for. Can't wait for your prescription to arrive!
