I'm Baaack!

Well I took a bit of an unexpected vacation there, but I'm glad to say that I'm back! I'll spare most of the details, but will let you know that although colonectomy is an effective weight loss system, I don't recommend it!

I've been gutted like a trout, and now have a scar that goes from my rib cage all the way down to there!! Although I'm back on my feet and feeling really good it will still be about 4-6 months before I will be fully recovered. I've lost 20 lbs, and now that I can eat (and drink beer) again, will struggle to keep it off! (especially since I really can't exercise for another 4-6 months, other than walking, and of course it's winter in this part of the world so that's not exactly a fun experience)

But enough of this nonsense! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back and that hopefully I'll get someting more interesting posted for you to read in the very near future.

To all of you who knew what was going on, my sincere thanks for your thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, and toys (yes, someone was in tuned with my child like nature enough to give me a couple of toys to occupy my mind during recovery)!
