Blessing to my Commanding Officers all the way down the chain of command to the lowest swabby!!

Surgery tomorrow morning !!

I have been driving myself to distruction it looks like .
Been trying to bring my 67 Maritime to splash since 1st of January but
shoving health issues to the limit and letting health be overidden by the Boat has accomplished nothing !
Just a note :: May this be a word of caution and each of us look at the Man in the Mirror !!
I pray I make it back this time !!

Put your ignition key in your overnight bag....so when you wake up you know why you're gonna do what you must to get back to that boat;)

Best wishes for the best outcome, CH. Been there, done that, wore the Tshirt out.

Seeing where you are, my Son-in-law may do your anesthesia. You will be in the best hands.

In our prayers. Being wound up prior to surgery is sometimes the worst.

Stay positive as much as you can.

I bought my boat to work on so I stay upbeat and positive, while I battle Bladder Cancer.

I'll keep fighting to ride again, if you will. Deal?

Hope they didn't have to cut too much open on ya'. I had a bowel/stomach surgery several years ago ... it's a booger to get put back together after one of those.

Glad you're up and moving ... it's a good sign!

Good to hear CoffeeHound,

I hope all goes as well with the pathology report. The doctor can usually tell by the look of the polyps. So that's a very good sign.

Ask for that polyp. When it dries out and everything is ok. Tee it up and say "hastaluego babie".

Glad you are back and feeling better! I've had 4 colon surgeries including a temporary (3 months) colostomy. You just keep fighting for what you still want to accomplish and you will be fine.

Re: Pre-op today !!

Thank you Everyone for the best of wishes !!!
Still not fully back on my feet -- can walk a bit but ankles and feet look like they should be on an Elephent !
Have to stay off feet and elevate legs as much as possable !!
