Well, Im back on my feet, on the 9th I was flown to Bahgdad for emergency surgery to have my ruptured appendix removed. Man of all the combat related reasons to possibly end up in an operating room in Bahgdad, I end up with an appenndectomy. Wow if you havent been through this its a bitch of an operation, but Im healing quickly and Im back on my feet. The worst part, I was flown out under emergency circumstances with none of my gear or belongings and wont be rejoining my unit for a few more weeks, guess where all my cigars and laptop are? lol with them. But I will say our Airforce and Army medical services are spectacular, their care and fast action were out of this world even for US hospital standards, My thanks to them for with out a doubt, saving my life!

Glad to hear that you are doing well. You can get a man down.. But you can't keep him down. Man has some cigars to smoke. Get well and I'll smoke one for you.

WOW!!! I saw someone at a little league game, when her appendix burst, and it looked like the most painful thing ever. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but to have it happen out in the sand box? F That. I'm glad you are doing better, and it's probably better that you smokes are not with you. Smoking and healing do not go hand in hand.

Glad to hear you are back on your feet. I have been fortunate to avoid any major surgery; knock on wood. I can't imagine going through my first over there. Thanks for your service and good luck with the recovery.
