Still Alive

Well, It has been a rough December, I went into the Hospital on December 3rd for heavy anti biotics for my Diverticulitis. While there my Honey Anna Mae went into Watertown and had her first shot into the spine for pain relief.
.
Then on December 7th I was rushed by Ambulance to Crouse Hospital in Syracuse for emergency surgery, the day was windy, snowing and Interstate 81 was 1 lane traffic, the normal 1 1/2 hour ride took almost 2 hours. The roads were so bad my wife had to stay in Carthage and drive down the next day.
.
They had to thicken my blood so I was taken off blood thinners for a couple days then I was prepped, and my surgery took place at 10 PM on December 9th. Surgery took 2 1/2 hours, I was in recovery for 2 hours and back in my room at 3AM and was I ever in PAIN.
.
They removed over a foot of my large colon and reconnected it, I spent some time in bed hoooked to a cathater and finally was let up still in agony but unhooked and started to try to walk which was a trip!!!
.
Released from Hospital, made it home, lots of bed rest, sore and tired. Take short walks inside in the Halls, doing better, Hope everyone is having a great Christmas Holiday.
