    Think'n I'd rather be toss'n a wee bit o' scotch than a whole lot o' caper, if it's all the same to ya.

    Better than loaded and half cocked :whistle:
  • So I said to my doctor, "I like to cook BBQ."

    And he said, "Well, you're gonna die!"

    So I said, "Naaaaaaaa!"

    And he said, "Yep!"

    And Spring Hen said, "He said no such thing."

    And I said, I think I heard him say just that."

    And she said, "He just said to cut back on certain foods."

    And I said, "I'm gonna die!!!"

    Now-a-days, many doc's are adhering to the use of velcro (oh dear!)..
  • will be waiting for pictures of said stones , prominently diplayed in the Coop. until then i will be content with my prayers for your speedy recovery

    take the chicken chucker to the hopital, aim it at the nurse and tell her you want jello shots , not jello. B)
  • Yuck! That wouldn't fly well in the Coop. I'll just carry them around in my pocket.

    As for the Chicken Chucker, I think maybe I'd better leave it where it be. A patient armed with a Chicken Chucker can be considered a danger. Don't want them shoot'n me with nerve block or something.

    For those who don't know, the Chicken Coop has its own arsenal of 'weapons.'

    Morning Leroy:

    Maybe that tombstone should read --

    Have a GREAT day!

    You crack me up, Leroy. I shouldn't be enjoying your post on bad news so much, but I am. LOL I will say prayers for a quick and painless procedure with a speedy recovery and hopes that you won't need the drugs they give you for anything other than recreational use! I know Judy will take good care of you.
  • Thanks Steve. A thousand 'feet' would be appreciated and a few thousand 'miles' GREATLY appreciated.

    Doesn't a catalytic converter take the stink out of emissions? I think Judy would appreciate that I made more frequent use of mine. Know what I mean?

  • Well thank you, I think LOL

    I've never had it so bad as a lot of people older and younger than me. I just try to make lite of the process of living.

    I'd rather not be taken too serious. No one would pay me any attention.

  • You realize that hospitals consider broth and Jello, 'meals.'

    'Well balanced meals' means a couple of stale crackers to go with either the broth or the Jello (my choice).

    Here's what the surgeon told me were common traits:

    Fair complexion - check
    Female - check
    Over forty - check
    Fat - (what a jacka$$) - half-check
    (He later suggested that weight loss had likely played a factor in my attacks).

    I put mine off for years - hindsight is 20 - 20. Yank it out and never look back... ;)

    Wish you well, Mr. Leroy. I had mine removed in 2004, after I thought I was having a heart attack. Couldn't believe how much pain that was. Good thing was that the docs were able to fix up the umbilical hernia I had. That piece actually hurt quite a bit more afterward than did the gall bladder surgery.

    Got a kick out of the "parts is parts..." note.
  • I had mine removed on New Years eve of 2008. After the procedure I went home and took a Darvocet and went to bed,,,,,,,,I didn't wake up until the following year. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    True story. There are times when I wish I still had that little sucker. With all the rich, fatty food around these parts, a little extra bile, and bilirubin comes in handy.
  • I was home the same day!!
    You'll just need to figure out what foods might get up going....So to speak!
  • Thanks Mike, I've been told it can hurt like the dickens but so far mine has only been slightly painful. But years ago I had a hernia and that sucker hurt something terrible. I couldn't get comfortable in any position. Fortunately, the doctor used laproscopic surgery and I was home the same night totally pain free. What a relief that was.

    Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing you in Plano.

    Spring "Pain Is Something You Know When You've Got It" Chicken
  • Well, I've got some Darvocet and a good bed, so I should be okay for the first night at home. Then I've got to cook something on the Egg to see if I can eat it. Like an ABT. If I can hang in there with a couple of those I should be good to go for everything else.

    Spring "Got Me A Plan A" Chicken
  • My surgery is about 2:30 in the afternoon, so I'm spending the night there. I'm okay with that, especially knowing that I would be in good hands if things got worse during the night.

    I know some people, including Eggheads, who had their GB removed and they eat/drink whatever they want without a problem. Even so, I'll probably eat more bushes and fishes and stuff like that until I get the hang of it.

    Spring "Fat Lubricates One's Innards" Chicken
  • Having been there and done that I can say that it was an almost painfree operation. Slight itching on the small scars and an ouchee when I bent over. That only lasted about a week.

    My sister and I once did a survey of parts we had that are there no longer or have been patched, fixed, mended, or otherwise altered. Discovered that if we obtain a spine and one ear we can pretty much make a person out of those parts. The bionic woman..on sale, minor factory defects.

    On the good side, having major body organs removed IS a hell of a weight loss program!

    Getter done Leroy. No one should have to live with a bunch of pain let alone the thought of more pain to come. Wishing you well. Tim :)
  • I would like to think I could lose enough ounces to catch up on my Ounce-a-Day diet but I'm thinking I might get rid of only a couple of week's worth, including the marbles.

    Talk to Grandpa's Grub about how much he lost. I'm betting he had to hit the men's clothing store for a new wardrobe.

    See what's left of you in Plano.
