Oh yes! Now that will bring you a lot of pool therapy. :)
Beautiful deck there NePa.
Hopefully you do not need an operation. Your pool/deck looks great.
Unfortunately for me I'm going in to get cut on the 19th, if I can make it that long. I went to the ER on Monday in severe stomach pain. After 7 hours of tests and over nine hours of terrible pain, I find out my gallbladder needs to be removed. I have been having these pains for the last few years but they always went away after an hour or so, not this time! It happened three nights in a row and again last night. Sure makes it tough to go to work everyday. :P
And till the operation I'm on a low fat - NO animal fat diet. They said this will help with the attacks, but it did not work last night. ??? NO bacon, NO sausage, NO pork butt, NO brisket, NO ribs? :( What do they expect me to eat?
I'm smoking 8 racks of Hungarian hot wax peppers this morning. A friend brought them over and wants to can them in olive oil and garlic after I smoke them. I'll get a couple jars when he is finished for doing the smoking. I've never had them this way before but it sounds interesting.
Yeah pens you will need that out for sure. My neighbor had that done in and out and he is fine as i know you wil be too.
We will keep you in our prayers for sure.
sounds good them peppers.
you take it easy my friend
nepas
Sorry to hear that Pens.
Wow! NO bacon, NO sausage, NO pork butt, NO brisket, NO ribs! :o
That's all five food groups isn't it? ::)
We will keep both you guys in our thoughts and prayers.
You guys will be back up and smokin' in no time! ;)

I had mine out five years ago. Same set of tests. I found that spending time reclined helped. Spent two weeks @ work with my feet on my desk and a keyboard in my lap. :D
FWIW, the recovery from the (laproscopic) Gall bladder surgery, IMHO, was M U C H easier than my double hernia surgery.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

I hope so, I have never been cut open before so I do not know what to expect. I've been trying to sleep in a recliner but last night went to bed, big mistake. It will be tough sleeping in a chair for the next two weeks till it comes out.
Good Luck Pens...
NePA, Great setting all around... pool and all.

I did the "prop up on 1000 pillows" thing.
PM me if you want - I don't want to hijack NePA's thread.
Pens; sorry to hear that. I hope everything gets resolved soon.
Believe it or not, there is more than meat. :) For some reason the past several weeks I been working on some tofu recipes, a couple of recipes calls for smoking them. That is if the weather would cooperate.

I dont think my wife would like that :D :D

I WARNED you about eating that farmed salmon, Pens! Hmmmm, the new diet: smoked "soylent green" ???? :o ;)
NePA....You blew it, amigo....you had the perfect chance for some SERIOUS points on the homefront, with a properly executed response to Olds' post like, "My wife was behind me when I took this picture.....she doesn't like her picture taken and put on the internet, especially in her swimsuit." !!! ;) ;) ;D
Funnin' aside, I don't envy you either of your potential surgeries, Pens/NePa, but have said a prayer for you both and your families......been there, done that, except my "knife" was more like a Skilsaw to the chest! :o ;) ;) Will look forward to hearing the good post-surgery reports!
Thanks Kummok for the well wishes. :)
Maybe you can show me how to catch a wild Alaskan salmon and a 250 pound halibut one of these days. That way I can avoid the bad fishes. ;D
The difficult part is trying to sleep in a chair sitting up. If I lay down I end up in so much pain and it last several hours. As far as I know there is nothing I can do for the pain except bear it.
NEPAS, I agree a bunch of hot bikini babes around the pool would liven the pool up a bit. ;) Just tell the MRS. that they are home health care specialists there for your therapy treatment. ::)
Okay Pens.....here's some "Get ready for Alaska!" practice for ya while you're sittin' http://www.peninsulaclarion.com/kenairiverrun/kenairiverrun.html
I'm ready, I caught a 54 and a 62 pound king in 2 minutes! Man this salmon fishing is easy! ;D ;D
Largest for me was a 20 pounder. I did try for the moose in the background, but the man wouldn't cast that far. :)
The best part of this kinda fishing is the cleanup, Pens!!
I've tried several times for that moose, Habs....doggone rod won't convert to rifle... :-\ ;) ;)

Problem with this kind of fishing is...... nothing to smoke or eat. :P
I also tried to get the moose, must need some fireline on the reel to get it. ???
