Well it has finally arrived, exactly one week from today I go to Detroit for my surgery. Thanks to you guys I am much better prepared that I ever would have been on my own.

And on that note, here is a very appropriate THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

HANDLE EVERY STRESSFUL SITUATION LIKE A DOG WOULD

IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT OR PLAY WITH IT

JUST PEE ALL OVER IT AND WALK AWAY

A messy but realistic approach, I think. Good luck next week,

Good luck...And leave the dog at home.

Steve, I just took the dog to the groomer. Need to have him looking sharp. I haven't decided yet if I'll take him with me to take care of all my stressful situations while I am in Detroit.

As a stand-in, a member on another forum suggested I just dump the bag on my problems. It may not take the stressor away, but I'll feel a whole lot better. LOL

When I get stressed -> I kick my cat.

JUST KIDDING. But we do play chase inside the house. Watching her try to go around corners on wooden floors will take your mind off anything.

Steve,

Been there and done that, I know what you mean.

Reminds me of the story about the young farm boy who came home from a frustrating day at school.

When he stepped in the yard one of the chickens crossed his path and he vented by kicking the chicken. Upon seeing this, his mother scolded him and said as punishment he would get no eggs for a week.

This really set him off and he ran over and kicked the cow in the udder. His mother responded by telling there would be no milk for a week and if he kicked anything else, he was going to the wood shed.

Just about then his father came home from a rough day. Walking onto the porch the family cat approached him for the daily rubs. He vented his day by kicking the cat.

THE BOY QUICKLY TURNED TO HIS MOTHER AND SAID "ALRIGHT MA, TELL HIM".

Sonny, got good feelings about your surgery, and I know you are on edge to one degree or the other, can't wait for the 17th to come and go for you. Need to get you on the recovery side.

Good luck Sonny, hope all goes well. I'm heading under the knife (ah, robot) on the 17th also.

In no time you will be out and about as if nothing ever happened.

Sonny,
When you're back, you'll find it's helpful to measure progress. Any kind of progress.
I made a pressure testing range in my back yard. Even filled it in with pea/pee gravel so I don't leave stains on the grass.
May you soon shoot 42".

Greetings, Sonny.  You will do great - I know you are ready to get to the other side of surgery and you will before you know it.  David

cool  Good Luck Sonny,

In 1 week you'll have the surgery behind you, and will be on the road to recovery.

Posted 9/10/2009 1:10 PM (GMT 0)
Sonny, I will keep you in my prayers that you surgery is as success story and that your post surgery recovery time will be short always look forward and not backwards and you will do fine
