I am back!
« on: August 13, 2014, 11:44:56 AM »
Hi Everyone!

I have been off on a medical leave for a while, but all is well now. I had a 4 1/2 pound hemorrhagic cyst removed through an 11 inch incision. The surgeons named it "Walter Watermelon". I am glad to be rid of it. In addition, they found two little tumors on a kidney. Everything went well and after an eight day stay in the hospital, I have spent a bunch of time doing therapy stuff. Oh yeah, all three were benign.  :grin:.   Anyway, glad to be back.

Sorry to hear of health issues, hope it clears up well.

Glad to have you back :)
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Good to have you back. Sounds like an interesting way to lose 5 pounds, but if you don't mind, I'll just stick with the diet and exercise routine. :wink:

Glad everything turned out OK for you John.

And I have been whining about one little finger tip. 

John,
I'm glad you are back and that the tumors were benign.
