First.., sorry I missed the kick off at Monroe...., looked like it was a blast.

But this past Friday, I had another procedure, similar to an endoscopy.. They went in and removed a 3 - 4" stent that was put in during the original surgery in April.

I guess it had moved from the original place, and has been moving around in my stomach... I felt instantly better... No more stomach pain, very little nausea, I can even eat pretty well..., better than since April.

Which is saying a lot, since for several months I couldn't eat or drink anything by mouth..., all fluids through a PICC line in my arm..

Anyways, hope to join you guys and gals again soon...

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers that have come my way..
