To all my BOTL's/SOTL's I want to apologize for the length of time it has taken me to get on and explain my situations. My surgery did not go as well as planned and I had two setbacks which placed me in the ER twice and back in surgery for a second time. This has been a very bad run for me and although I have been home for the last couple of days, I have been in a hospital bed and on pain meds...strict bed rest. Last Friday was the first time I was back in the hospital for Xrays and to make sure the implant was seated properly and to establish physical therapy which I will start on Tuesday. My wife helped me out to the Garage yesterday where I sat in the sun for the first time in 3 weeks and I felt human once more. I actually had her get me a cigar and I tried to smoke it but being 3 weeks without and my mouth still a bit sore from all the anesthesia treatments and dryness I held it more than smoked it and was only able to get half of it done. All in all it was just nice feeling a bit normal again. I still feel light headed due to all the blood loss but the docs say i should make that up in a couple weeks or less. Today has really been the first day where my head feels somewhat okay and my eyes don't hurt. This has been a very trying run and my state of mind is needless to say in a very depressed state. I truly could not handle another setback. I have to keep telling myself it could be worst...much worse. And althought this helps a bit, it's still plays on my mind. So far so good as I have not had any bleeding or fever. I think it's downhill from here and with physical therapy, hopefully in 4 more weeks I'll be back in the game of things.
With this being all said, I truly want to thank all of you for your concerns and well wishes. I owe a few of you a more personal note but ask for your patients as my wife has placed all of my stuff in the man-cave down stairs and I cannot get to it at this time. Please give me a week or so with physical therapy and the ability to give proper thank you's and answer your pm's.
Again...Thank you my friends...Thank you all very much. It meant alot not only to me but my family as well.
