Surgery's Tuesday

[Donna G]

Well, me and Champ188 got out for a bit of fishing yesterday at the Central Pro-Am White River Electric team series. Bunch of good limits caught. Alas, not for us. Think we were both pretty distracted. To make matters worse, when Champ went to drive the boat on after the tournament, he noticed one of the bunks was off the trailer. Managed to get it bungied on and I put the trailer in deep. Got the boat on straight and secure for the time being. Thank goodness for Duct tape and bungie cords. He did take me to Raymond's to eat afterwards. Funny place. They do not accept checks or any form of plastic. With debit cards these days, I rarely have any cash on me. We managed to scrounge up enough currency between us to have dinner and leave a tip. Great Mexican food. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks Mr. Babler for carrying my little sack up the hill. If I had a good bag I need to hire a hauler, I guess, since I'm apparently a sissy. lol

We head for Tulsa tomorrow. Pre-op is Monday and surgery is Tuesday to remove the kidney with the cancer. They are doing the surgery laproscopically, so my hospital stay and down time should not be too bad. We think we will be back home on Friday and then I'll be off work for the rest of the year and off the water for a couple of months. Sigh.

Anyway, prognosis is really, really good and no chemo or radiation will be done. Ya'll keep chatting at Champ and keep him occupied. Oh, and remind him he has to do the dishes, the laundry, take care of the cats, cook, shop, pay bills, rub my back, wait on me hand and foot and relinquish control of the remote control.

Keep those lines stretched and tell me all about it.

Take care.

We men don't give up the remote control!

Best wishes sister.

Best wishes sister.

Yeah, I know. You should see his hand twitch like he still has it when he's asleep in the recliner.

Thanks, Techo.

God Bless you Donna, and we will all be keeping you in our prayers. Nothing wrong with your three fish, you were out there giving it your all on a very cold blustry day. There were people that did not weigh in any fish.

The fish yesterday for us were on a vey specific pattern, and had been so for at least 2 weeks. Once you got that figured out, you could catch multiple fish off each spot. Maybe only two or three, but the right places held fish. A couple of times we decided to just try something else, and would strike out. So we put on our thinking caps, and just fished where the fish were.

God's speed on your recovery

Sincerely Bill

Donna you will be in our prayers.

[Donna G]

Thanks, guys. I'd respond individually, but you've made me all teary-eyed. I've been pretty staunch through all of this, but I'm a little anxious this morning. We're leaving in a few hours. I appreciate all the well wishes and prayers. I'm sure Champ188 will keep you updated.

good luck, hope you heal quickly.

they did my surgery laproscopically

a few years ago, and it was much

better or so they said, my first

surgery, but I was in on friday, and

out on sunday afternoon.

Hope it works out for you also.

Good luck.
