Seems I Am Alive

But minus a thyroid gland, if the hospital food does not kill me……thyroid was bad, all benign but almost had to crack my chest to get it out, lots of digging & moving pieces parts around to get everything out 

It’s thought agent orange dioxins had a large part to play 

Boiled salmon with pinapple chutney 



Green chili covered burrito, no taters



Scar……

Glad to know you're alive and headed for recovery. If that's hospital food, it looks better than anything I ever got in a hospital.

Glad to hear you are still around. The hospital food doesn't look terrible.

Great news! I figured you were to damn stubborn to die.

Good news. !

Food is horrible. Hard to gag down, worse than a Marine chow hall, field kitchen or first generation MRE’s

Wife brought 2 cold McMuffin’s and they were glorious

Home now, Have been talking Vicodin the VA gave me for the back & trying to save that and only take Tylenol

The hospital was giving narcotics every 8 hours but none upon discharge

Very horse but who needs a voice, I’m home and preparing for a glorious birthday celebration, local raised pig’s ribs on the pellet smoker and baked beans on the pellet smoker

Won’t be going anywhere, stitches come out next week & no shooting for a month or lifting anything over 6 pounds for 3 weeks

Bad food gives you the drive to leave the hospital.....I swear they do it on purpose. Glad you are home and have plans to cook for the weekend. I'm thinking of doing my best impression of CJ's ribs this weekend.

Hope you have a speedy recovery! I always looked forward to meals while in the hospital...makes the time go by faster, l!
