I always think in the morning that I'll make a post in the evening, but by the time evening time gets, my physical strength is gone and I go to sleep.
Tom, I want to thank you and your Rangers for moving me into my bunkhouse. It looks absolutely great!
My leg brace is supposed to be here this aftertoon.
At that time I'll get to finally get out of this bed and get fitted with my brace. It will then be sent back to the manufacturer for any adjustments needed. I don't know what the long term plan is for this brace, but I'll find out this afternoon.
I know the longterm plan for me includes another five days in this bed (YUCK! - LOL!)

Well, my pleasant little afternoon was interrupted by the the bandage nurse changing my bandages for the first time since surgery. All of you who have had major surgery know that includes those little tubes called drain tubes.
Thank you, dear Lord, that it's over.
I want to thank the Major and all his prayer warriors.
Knowing this thread existed has pulled me through many dark holes.
There are so many special who occupy this thread that I know I can't thank you all. I just thank God that you're here.
Thank you, amom, for always reminding me of all the people who pray for me every day.
May the Good Lord bless you all. With His strength we will win this battle.
Five more days of rack time, huh! Suggest you put together a card game (with the pretty nurses, of course). Don't know if it will make the time go faster, just more enjoyable.
Keep your spirits high and know you're in all our thoughts and prayers. And may God bless your family too!
You sound great!
You damned Texans are TOUGH!
Hang in their partner --- we need you back in the forum..
Getting off the damned heavy drugs and bunk time, will prove to be tough -- but that's when you really begin to feel "normal" again...
Been there, done that....
Semper Fi
It's great to have you back among us, TC! Now that you're off the hard post-op drugs, rest up and prepare for the therapists who will soon descend on you and make your life a living hell, LOL!
And while you gather strength I thought I'd give you a brief update on politics: Republicans weak kneed, Democraps blustering. Same ol' same ol' stuff.
Dick Durbin made an absolute A$$ of himself, comparing our treatment of prisoners at Gitmo to all the world's most despotic leaders such as Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. Republicans yelling "Take it back, TAKE IT BACK!" But he refuses to do so. Any day I expect to see a Republican threaten to cut off his own eyelashes if Durbin doesn't do a remake. YAWN!
So that's about it. See, you're not missing much at all. I'm sure your hospital doesn't have FNC so I'm determined to update accurately because you're probably limited to evil CNN leftists on the tube.
Just a reminder..... You're way high on our list of prayer priorities up here in the woods. So if your ears are ringing it isn't a side effect of drugs. Just us out here praying you along. We love ya man!
You're a strong person - a mighty oak among us. The next time I see you, I believe this will be in your past and you will be victorious.
Those Al-Clayda creatures had better not be getting a false sense of security in your current absence. You'll be back blasting them before you know it. ;-)
Prayers sent from TX.
