Surgery Fun

Been offline with posts and crap, for the last 4 months, I was living with massive stomach pains, mainly on my left side. So I went to the doctors to see what was up. They sent me off for an x-ray and on it I saw a small boulder. Saw a specialist and a cat scan that confirmed I had a stone about the size of bic lighter. Last Thursday I went in and had surgery to remove it. While I was recovering from surgery, there was unexpected horrors that awaited me and pain. I had a magic button that I could push every 10 minutes that took me away to a warm fuzzy dream place, it was a happy place. Then they came and took away the magic box and sent me home with a damn garden hose in my back and some chalky pain pills. It has sucked on many levels. Light at the end of the tunnel though, I get the tube removed from my back tomorrow morning, and hopefully will be back to normal with some minor pain to deal with. Looking forward to getting to sleep in my bed, cause having to sleep in a chair sitting up in the den this week has not been fun at all to deal with. Not sleeping well and there is not anything worth a damn to watch on tv that late at night. Ready to be back on the normal path and going to work, on the plus side, they discovered I have a thyroid problem that was causing some of my fatigue problems and inability to shed weight. I would post pictures of the tube fun, but half my back is a taped up mess.
