Hey guys,
Had a pretty serious malfunction this past weekend at the farm. My wife rushed me to the hospital on Sunday in Livingston, TX and woke up in the hospital in Lufkin on Monday....totally missed Tuesday. Doc removed ~6" of perforated colon. Will be in ICU at least another day tomorrow and hopefully get to a regular room. Making small gains every day. Removed vent tube yesterday, and removed catheter today. If all goes well, they will remove the NG tube tonight. Thanks, for all your prayers. The doc said I was a very sick man Sunday morning. He cant believe how quickly I'm recovering...a deepest sincere thank you, my friends. The power of prayer. Still got a long road ahead of me. Special thanks to my bud Pat W. for posting....it's a wonderful to know there are so many friends out there that have your back.

Ouch! None of that sounds like any fun at all.

Glad you are feeling well enough to post. That is a good sign.

Get well soon.

I agree on the "totally out of it", buddy...You scared me!!! (I may have to add that to your bill! wink )

As a 2-time pondboss prayer recipient (once for myself, and once for Cathy), I can attest to the healing powers of prayers from the great people here!!!

Well your prayers helped ole Charlie! His white blood count is finally coming down. He is moving around and getting stronger by the day. Might get out later this week. Keep thinking of him.

Hey pondboss pals,
I was released from the asylum yesterday just before noon. I feel certain that I felt every crack in the pavement on the drive home from Lufkin to Humble. So glad and grateful to be released from my 3 weeks of "organized hell"...Also, grateful to be alive...I understand that when things started heading south, they headed pretty quick. I knew something was up when 1/2 my family from Louisiana was in ICU when I woke up on Tuesday. Thanks, to all who offered up prayers for me. It was touch and go for a while...I was told. I received the sacrament of "the anointing of the sick" (last rites) and having coming through that ordeal, am very humbled by that experience....thanks, to my dear wife for thinking on her feet. Thanks, to ewest and Dr Luke who sent cards...another very humbling experience while in the hospital. RC51, I appreciate your encouraging words as well as texts from Bill D. And Pat W. May the Power of the Ever Powerful One be with you all.
Charlie

Great!


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
