[NePaSmoKer]

This is what i have been doing to releive some back pain.



On the 7th i will know for sure what the docs are going to do for me. Thanks all for your well wishes.

Also i want to thank Bryan at the Yard And Pool for giving me some expert advice on pool items and ladders.

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.

[NePaSmoKer]

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

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.

[Habanero Smoker]

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 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!
