Garyv Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I've missed the board for the last 10 days or so. On Friday 10 days previous I thought I was getting the flu, but by mid evening it was without a doubt one bad case. I managed to make it to Monday and when I went to see our doctor and was told you most likely have a blocked bowel and get to the hospital now. My wife drove me right down and for the next 3 days they tried to fix the problem with medicine which was not working so Thursday last I had surgery at 7:00 PM to remove the bad section. Now it's Monday and I'm hoping to be home by Friday. I was lucky to find this PC in the surgery waiting room so I thought I would take advantage and post. I was told there must be something to being an active outdoorsey type ( yeah I know there's no such word ) as when 9 hours after the operation they had me walking in intensive care without much diffuculity. They told me being able to have the stamina to do this that shortly after surgery is not the norm......so keep fishing and hunting!
misfish Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 WOW Yer one lucky fella and in great shape I would say. Easy does it,no rush,lots of time to get fishing and hunting in Gary. TC.
Joey Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Wow Gary, so sorry to hear that, but I'm also glad to hear you are on the mend. Now your wife can never tell you that you can't go fishing Be strong bud. Thinking about you, Joey
Deano Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Take care of yourself, Gary. The board will still be hear when you get back.
ccmtcanada Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Wow!!! Same thing happened to my mother last year. Thought it was flu or food poisoning ended up being a twisted bowel/blockage. They hoped it would resolve itself with rest and medication, but when it didn't it was a quick operation to fix it. Glad to hear you came through it with flying colours! Get well soon!
nautifish Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Ditto to what everyone else said and take care of yourself gary.

rickster Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Gary I know how you feel. About five years ago I had to get opened up beacause of a blockage. I was in the hospital for four days after the operation. Two weeks later I was in moose camp with my buddies. It was a great I never had to lift a hand to help get our animals out. Hope you get well soon.
