Today he's under the knfe in a serious operation. :(

I didn't want to embarass him and go into a lot of details, other than to say that he has serious medical issues that caused him many painful days and nights. Those who know him know that he's the type who hates to complain. He would instead rather focus on the lives of others, and always tends to minimize his own problems. He's such a helpful and thoughtful guy many would never have known about the medical issues he faces.

Just putting this up here to let him know that he's not alone. :plastered:

He faces a long period of recovery. I don't know how soon he'll be able to come back and visit us.

I do know that he'll be able to look at a computer sooner or later & see our well-wishes, and any funny stuff we put up here.

Feel better, Surfstix. :HappyWave:

I got the call from his wife :HappyWave: that he made it out of the operation OK. He'll still be in the hospital for a few days though.


I was driving around yesterday and saw this truck on the road, so I took a pic...

Hey, Surfstix, I didn't think you'd be back so soon. I had a whole bunch of jokes and comics I was gathering to make fun of ya with. ;)

Oh well. It's always better to be sooner out of the hospital than later. I know it's gonna be a long road, take it easy and those days will pass. Glad to see ya back! :HappyWave:

Hey people just want to give a shout out for Surfstix. I think today is the latest surgery. Not as serious as the last, but still a major surgery. This is one more thing he has to go through on his long road to recovery.

It will be a while back to walking normal without pain and being able to participate in the things many of us take for granted.

Here's letting you know that we were thinking of you Surfstix, and hope everything goes OK with the surgery. Anyone who wants to extend well-wishes, feel free to do here. :thumbsup: I think he might be reading this when he gets a chance.

Hang in there buddy, we're rooting for you to make it through this, today and in the future! :thumbsup: :HappyWave:

Surfstix isn't out of the woods yet. He developed a fever and is still stuck in the hospital. That probably means there is some kind of infection, complications from the operation. He could still use thoughts and prayers.


Here's some good wishes sent your way, Surfstix, hoping the fever passes and you can get the heck out of that hospital. :thumbsup: :HappyWave:
