Update 04/28/10

Feeling MUCH better! Have a drainage thingy I'll have to deal with for a while (kinda like a C.Bag training wheels), but should be out of the woods soon. Looks like I'll be discharged tomorrow.

In the meantime, Bob The Van Eating Dog continues his vacation at the Jersey Shore and sends me pics from time to time. The latest one is here.

So hopefully I can finally tell you about the guy I met who told me the dark family secret of an American advertising icon and the group to which the guy belongs to. Also, my take on my ailment. There is an upside, believe it or not!

Anyhow, The Conversion Van Of Wonders is running in a rear parking lot after a lengthy jump start process with Al from Security, and I have to turn it off in a bit. One more night, then back in the world I go. Please keep good thoughts!

Until next time....

Update: 04/22/10: I Get A New Hole In Me, Bob Goes On Vacation!

Bob The Van Eating Dog is enjoying an active yet relaxing week at the Jersey Shore! He has been given a new harness as opposed to the old chain choke collar and has been quite nicely coiffed, it would appear! He gets extra daily walks in new environs, gets to spend time with his old kitty kat pal and former co-owner-ette, is just overall pampered and tended to.

Truth be told, he really deserves this. His life was suddenly and forever changed August 4th, 2009 from day into night!

But hey, I wanna blog about moi.

Ok...drain is in. Stuff is coming out. Waiting for cultures on what precisely the infection was. Currently on a clear fluid diet, hoping for the next level soon. (I did sneak a cup-O-coffee today)
Broke a pretty good fever last night. Since they only want fluids in me, the Tylenol was a suppository, so in it went.

But this morning I feel so cheap and used....she didn't even call me as she said she would.

Today is going ok. Hoping that hope springs eternal and from my bowels as well.

Had a hard time putting my sneakers on today, and the awful thought struck me...

Is all of this because I was snarky at the folks using the "Shoedini"?

Until next time...

Med Update: Arrrgghhh...Trying To Avoid The "C" Word.

Tomorrow my hot spot gets drained so the antibiotics can take a better hold. If this works, I may only have to be here a few more days. If not, and surgery is called for, we have an issue.

Understand, my specialists are terrific. And the surgeon has an AMAZING background and story to tell. Just no way am I being adorned with a bag.....period!

Once again, migration plans thwarted. I had planned on heading out 4/21 or 4/28. If they only have to drain, the 28th may work, depending on follow up stuff. For me it's still "Wyoming Or Bust"!

Another issue has been the fevers and sweats. It does seem to affect my thinking and all, especially after having not eatens since last thursday. Please bear with me. And, please, good and positive thoughts my way.
