man, gabe, you really are "coming back"

Deserve · 03-03-2008, 12:39 PM

Good news! I have a date scheduled for my next and hopefully last surgery. On March the 24th at 7:30 am I will go under the knife to be reconnected. I was hoping it was going to be pushed up but it looks like that is not the case. Such is life and at least there is an end in sight. Soon I will be whole again.

I am counting down the days. As much as me and the bag are friends I'm ready for it to go. On days that it's full I'm just waiting for a merchant to accuse me of stealing only to find it is a full bag of shit. I have much respect for anyone who has to do this for the rest of their lives.

The only downside and it's minor is that I have to go on a clear liquid diet and drink the 1/2 gallon jug of diarrhea inducing seawater on Easter. I'll be hippity hopping but it won't be down the trail.

So that I don't end this post on a downer I did sleep on my stomach for the first time in 3 months. Yeah for me! For those of you that don't understand, until this happened I always slept on my stomach.

Back to your regularly scheduled log.

Hmmmm! I remember loosing the ability to sleep on my stomach when I was preggo. Man was that a downer. Now I'm too stinkin' old to sleep on my stomach...to much hyperextention. I've compromised and I sleep catty-wampus on my body pillow.

Maybe on the 29th you'll be home and in need of visitors again????

Funny thing you should mention the body pillow. When my wife was pregnant with our first child she got a body pillow promising that it would go away after the boy was born. That was 8 years ago. Today it is commonly refered to as, "the wall".

gobbla · 03-03-2008, 01:18 PM

I got a body pillow like 5 years ago when I had some back problems. I love that thing

RedWifey · 03-03-2008, 01:26 PM

"the Wall" goes on the floor at the approprate times, otherwise it's presence is required.

K-Court · 03-03-2008, 01:43 PM

Good news, Gabe. The end is in sight. (so to speak

)

Deserve · 03-03-2008, 01:44 PM

The Wall is like any other pillow it must have it place on the bed. I shouldn't complain. I have a squishy pillow (IE soft feather pillow) that I use to cover my eyes when I'm sleeping. I don't go anywhere without it. I'll take it to the hospital with me.

RedWifey · 03-03-2008, 04:13 PM

Wow! You're pretty quirky there buddy!

K-Court · 03-03-2008, 04:58 PM

You cover your face with a pillow when you're sleeping? That would freak me out.

RedLefty · 03-03-2008, 06:47 PM

RedWifey covered my face with a pillow one time when I was sleeping, but it's not the kind of thing I'd do again.

gobbla · 03-04-2008, 03:46 AM

If I don't use a body pillow I sleep with the pillow on top of my head (side\back). Feather pillows are the best!

Hey Gabe, great news about setting a date for the surgery! It must feel good to know there's an end to all of this in the very near future. Enjoy your workouts over the next couple weeks.

I don't cover my mouth. That's a whole other kind of fetish. I just cover my eyes. The mouth and nose and free to the world.

I never once claimed I was normal.

Jill, I pretty excited. It will be nice to get back to normal. It also makes the work outs easier to hit since I know there is only a finite amount before I am off for another six weeks and I know that I am going to need the strength.

glad to hear the next (final!?!) step is on the horizon, man. recovery after that, what just a few days and then on your way to being hyuuuge again, right?

Yeah right. That's it. Exactly.
