Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

God bless you, TC! You are a real trooper, and you'll beat this! So good to hear from you.

[Jim Robinson]

More prayers on the way, TC. Will be thinking of you and missing you at our annual picnic this weekend.

[Jim Robinson]

Amen

[yarddog]

Sometimes it seems you just can't win. I still feel you will ultimately beat this. It does sound like you are getting good treatment.

Good to have family with you too.

[TexasCowboy]

BTW:

To all my friends from Venice, LA., to New Orleans:

I watched your misery develop from my hospital bed, and my heart goes out to you.

Most of you have spent half your lives working on the water like I have, and we saw the mistakes compound themselves hour after hour.
Y'all needed a lot more oil field ingenuity and a lot less beaucratic ineptitude.

God bless you all.

The perforated colon was caused by a little animal called divers articulitis. He is mean! He allowed poison to spew into my body cavity for four days before I gave up and went to the emergency room. The doctor saw me at seven and operated at eleven

TC, We know you're still a Marine and if you weren't so tough for all those nasty bugs to chew on, you'd be dead from that perforated colon. However, this situation is such that you must not just "grin and bear it", when you should be going to the doctor! It's not even a strategic retreat to do that, it's what they call nowadays, "force protection". Please do it. We need your force protected.

That's an order!

Besides, several people here want to fire that new "serious social purposes" shotgun of yours, but they want to do it with you at their side .... well, maybe well behind them in the cases of certain persons who shall remain nameless. :)

PING!

See post 6,039.

TC is back on line!

TC, I went through the surgery for diverticulosis, although I was able to avoid the colostomy. You had a more severe episode than I did, and the doctors told me that I was in serious trouble.

It is hard for me to imagine anyone in more pain than I had at the time, yet your situation dwarfed what I was facing. You are an incredibly strong and defiant man. More challenges face you, yet you keep your strong spirit and determination. It's an inspiration to us all.

Hang in there, buddy.

DANG!! JUST DANG!!!

HOT DIGGITY DOG, YOU'RE BACK!! *singing to self* - -
OH HAPPY DAY, OHHH HAPPPY DAAAAY!

Welcome back, you old phart! Most excellent news tonight! I can't tell you how great it is to hear directly from you! Ohhhh, you just made our day around here!

Now try to keep moving, upright, so those lungs stay healthy and clear. BTW, did you ever get a pneumonia shot?? I have to take them regularly (every 5 yrs), and that was the first thing I thought of when I heard you had pneumonia. If not, ask your doc if you can get one now.

Love and hugs and sloppy kisses,
G

You continue to be in my prayers and will be until you are healed and back home in Texas! God bless you and yours. Prayers to Faith, too, as I know she's having problems, too.
