Splat Calculator, gotta love that one!

 

[RVTRKN]

Sorry to hear to got injured, but I'm glad to hear your OK.

 

[BIGNASTY]

Thanks All.

Fester I really needed to see the splat calculator, :-laf

The food sucks pretty bad, the coffee is ever worse. The nutritionist came by and said that I need to have more body fat than the 8% that I carry. Told her on what they bring me to eat its not likely going to happen.

I told her what I eat at home Oh to much red meat, to much dairy, to much of EVERYTHING its bad for your system. REALLY???? she brought up my records on the computer, I said they have taken blood to get ready of surgery take a look at the blood work and tell me that I'm eating all the wrong stuff. She asked my name and record number twice, looked at the wrist band a few times and said this makes no since??? NO XXXX seems you folks with the diplomas don't know everything now do ya.

cant wait until after the surgery so Penny can bring some FOOD.

Lucky for me the Dr that's going to be slicing & dicing is pretty squared away. He was saying that this is going to be a really good test for the artificial Gizmotchey Most of the people that they've done this to have lots of problems with Sclerosis and other vascular diseases that make the operation iffy to begin with, with healthy arteries he said the chance of success is very good, as long as there are no rejection problems. With as much hardware as I have he really didn't think that was going to be an issue.

Have to be at the starting line at 2am Monday morning, so in case I forget thanks for all the Who-ya's

BIG, Your new sawbones, did you check to see if he's a DVM? I think you're in need of Dr. Pol.

Good luck Mountain Man.

Prayers to you and all of your family BIG. If during your travels you come through Arkansas you are always welcome to plug the bus in for the night and some RED MEAT off the grill with cold ones to keep you hydrated. I better throw in some prayers for the surgeon and his and the hospital staff too.

Well I made it and actually doing pretty well. We got after it at 2:15 AM, its ok I needed the extra 15 min of beauty sleep. Had it done with a Spinal Block like deal, instead of being dead from the neck up I was dead from the waist down. Was a little loopy with a mild sedative but for the most part I was awake and part of what was going on in the operating room, IMO this is the ONLY way to do it. I was breathing on my own was aware of my surroundings and when it was over I was able to have pain relief sooner than if I had to wait until I came completely out of General anesthesia and then be loaded up with pain killers. I dosed off one time for just a bit and asked if id missed anything? my Vascular Surgeon said BIG your a card id be scared out of my britches if I were you.

The only thing that bothers me is that they are Pill happy. They came in several times today to take temp of the leg, they have a machine that computes the time from a heart beat to the time its felt at various spots and can tell that the blood is flowing well or not and a bunch of other things that they are looking at to make sure things are OK. They keep asking me if I need something for pain? I tell them I'm fine my Doctor actually got kind of POed when I asked him if he'd ever been through withdrawals for drug addiction? he naturally said no. When you do you'll think twice about doing drugs again FOR ANY REASON. Just leave me be I will ask if I need them, he said that they wont let what happened many years ago happen again, Well that's what they told me the last time to!!

Other than several blood draws a day to test for some enzyme the body gives off when its reacting to a foreign object that it doesn't like (rejecting the implant) its still another 13 days till I get paroled.

Thanks for all the thoughts and Prayers

BIG & Crew.

Big,

Good to hear it went as planned, nicely done.

You should'a had em put a diagnostic port on it so the just plug in a USB port and download all the details, I think there's an APP for it too.

Congrats on passing the splat test.

 

[CBari]

Glad to hear all went well. Just remember that they will revoke that parole if you don't continue with your good behavior!

Gail's been good for a change, They took him someplace to run a test we are awaiting his return. When his Dr. came in this morning for his check up he said that everything is looking good. He had heard rumors of someone having a party on this floor singing and carrying on and did he know who that might be? (as he picked a string on Gail's guitar)

Gail said that it may be someone that feels pretty good

He mentioned that it couldn't be you, you've still not taken anything for pain.

I think that he's figured how Gail works, He finally did take something for pain and was doing better. He asked about the parole date still being so far away? his Dr. asked if he liked helicopter rides? Gail's never been a fan of something that can stop mid-air told him no. Well then why don't we just stay awhile and have some more singing later.
