Surgery.... Me too.

Well, folks, looks like we're having a rash of people having surgery. Curtis, Ed, et al. My best wishes to all.

I go into the hospital this Sunday for surgery on Monday to remove a first-stage cancerous mass from my intestines. They will remove a section of intestine and sew whatever is left back together.

So from then on I'll be even more of a gutless wonder.

No worries, I'm in the hands of God.

Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers, my friends.

I check in at 6:00 and the surgery will be done Monday.

And Ed, I'll get back here ASAP. I'll take a laptop to the hospital.

Thumbs up Thanks for your prayers!! They worked.

I came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon after 7 days. The surgery was a complete success.

They got it all.

I don't have any real pain and am able to walk around the house just fine.

I'm hoping to be able to make a few folders again. I'd had 4 of my latest on hand and sold 3 of them a couple of weeks ago.

I wanted to keep one of the Toothpicks for myself, but the buyer insisted on having 3 as Christmas presents.

So, my friends, I'm back! Give me a few weeks and I might have another folder.

Best wishes to everyone.
