^^ sorry to hear BB. hope you get better quick. you can cool it wit the ' lazy civilian' bs, though. listen to your body and rest if you need to. or dont. it's your prerogative. whose country were you in when you got f'ed up?
thank you for your service, btw. and i am being real. it is much appreciated when done for the right reasons.
i think azzani will not be missed. wr has been a bit of a weak point hasnt it? look forward to hearing who the candidates are...
take care.

Well folks. After having missed a few days on here with the flu/stomach bug that was going around, I think I may have been back a day. You may or may not have noticed that I once again was missing for several days again (a week?). I don't recall for sure this time.
I just returned home after having been laid up in the hospital. They were basically rearranging my insides, back to the way they are supposed to be I guess. My round with the flu apparently had undone a previous surgery (from years ago) that was performed after a run-in years ago with a friendly little device left by a road by some fine folks who apparently disapprove of America.
I was told to be on bed rest for the next week and take it easy for another week after that. They don't know me very well. I plan to be back to work by Monday, Wednesday at the latest. Damn lazy civilian mentality. You can't get anything done laying on your ass waiting for things to fix themselves.
Sounds like a may have missed a few things in my absence. We need a new WR coach apparently. I'll try to catch up on the rest as I go, but be patient if I ask something or make a statement about something that may or may not be true any longer. I've skipped many pages in many threads to catch up to today.
Speak your opinions folks, rebut others opinions folks. But most of all enjoy your freedom. I just spent many days being reminded that the price paid for it does not end just because you come home.
:hi:

Thought you crusty, old, crayon eating, Marines are supposed to have guts of steel? Good to have you back!
Don't want to sidetrack the thread with my story, but it was a pretty amusing, albeit painful experience.
The ER knew I was coming. Doctor had called them before I went in. I had the cat scan that had been done on me literally 1 1/2 hours prior. The doctor had called ahead, so they would be ready for me and be able to get me up to a room quicker...lol....that didn't happen. I was in an ER room for several hours. I learned as the night went along that they simply didn't believe what I was supposed to be being admitted for. Along they way they pulled about a quart of blood from me....one vial at a time, poked and prodded on my whole abdominal area 20-30 times. Would ask the whole on a scale of 0 to 10 what is your pain level (my response was usually 4 or 6, but 6 was visible in my face to them when I said it). All along through this ordeal I'm telling them, "hey, I have this cat scan that might help", but like little cock roaches, their just scurrying here and there, doing their thing. Finally one doctor takes the cat scan and disappears for a while. When he comes back...he has an EKG machine with him. He gets it hooked up.....is watching it closely as I'm laying there.....I have a spike in pain....he then asks again...0 to 10 pain level....I say...6. He pulls all the cords off, says, I'll let you find all those tabs stuck on you yourself and walks out.
Long story short. When he returns he calls me an anomaly. Says I shouldn't even be sitting there talking to him during my high pain level (6). Most people would be screaming in pain or passed out. I laughed and said all he had to do was ask, I could have explained all that to him and saved us all a lot of time. He looked at me quizzically and I said...I'm a Marine, can I get a room now?
I was in a room 15 minutes later. I had been in the ER for approximately 4 hours at that point.
I did discover that at 52 my blood pressure averages about 116/62....at the peak of my pain it peaked one time at 130/70.
That was just the ER portion of my stay.lol:
