@Sea Dog

 

Thank you for sharing your post op update. 
 

Welcome back.  
 

Now to the matter at hand. 
 

Today the pain meds will be your best friend. 
 

Now tomorrow. They could become your worst enemy. 
 

So speaking of cocktails.  Not the Colada but:
 

Tomorrow you need to consume the surgical cocktail so that things move along gently. 
 

So in addition to a very hot cup of coffee. You need to shoot an eight ounce glass of prune  juice. 
Many say not me. 
But when nature does not call. You will have wished you did. 

In addition take what ever they have prescribed to aide your business. 
 

On a lighter note. 
Rest up

Do your exercises 

Take naps. This is a major stress. 
 

Think about cruising and finally meet your CC. Family. 
 

Take care. 

A doe thank you to you as I truly feel I have two doctors taking  care of me. Dr. Ting and you. Your advice will be followed. Oxy really working now. All fuzzy and peaceful. The song “Rocky Mountain High” is in my head.

Greg, Welcome back to the land of your CC Family. As others have said, rest up, take your meds and get ready for PT.

Glad to hear you were able to get up (with the help of the nurses) and move around.

The Amazing Race is on in a few minutes.......

Is Jim over his covid cold?   When is your cruise?

[Sea Dog]

Making progress. I’ve already been up a walked a little bit with the walker. Having trouble getting the bladder and prostrate to work.

 

Watching good friend and coworker anchor the news and texting me in real-time during the video packages. Kris had the same surgeon and surgery as me a couple of months ago.

 

 

Not quit Chops dinner was like Thanksgiving. Turkey. Dressing , mashed potatoes and Mac-n-cheese.

 

 OxyContin really kicking in now. My head is warm and fuzzy. Somehow the song “Rocky Mountain High “ is stuck in my head.

 

I wish I could respond to everyone but I get pretty tired fast. All of you are so special. I promise to celebrate each and everyone when I see you one a cruise with me.

Give those cats a rub for me. That is, if they’ll allow it. 

Sure will, they are very friendly. They will sit there all day and let you pet them.

That's so lovely that she found a loving home with you and your wife .

35 years ago we had a cat who got bitten by another cat and developed cat aids. Poor thing never recovered and we had to have her put down 

Yes, that is probably what happened to this one too.

And @Jimbo. It is FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Kitties get FIV, people get HIV. 

You are correct, I always get that mixed up, Gracie has FIV, not HIV. 😞

It is the narcotics. They are notorious for causing this issue.

That is 100% Rodrhi, if he knows there are treats he will sit, if it is just because I say so, he leaps around and ignores me.

Coincidentally,  my dinner for tonight. 

 

Not sure how people feel about frozen pizza, but I think this is one of the better ones. And 3 pies for $10 seemed like a good deal.

 

A little heavy on the sodium tho & this coming from a guy that would put salt on a chocolate donut.😄

So what does that mean, pizza is free?

When we come back from our walk, Oliver will sit by the front door until I take the leash off, then as soon as I open the door he runs into the kitchen and sits and waits by the cookie jar where I keep his treats.  He will sit there and patiently wait  for me to get him his treat.

Damn it. We already ate. To late to go out as I've showered and now wearing my jammies.

Bill was just suggesting we have a pizza delivered on Super Bowl Sunday. I kind of rolled my eyes. Us and 2,000 other people that had the same idea. I think we will just have a frozen pizza as well.

Same here but for free I'd put on a pair of pants.

I'm looking to get some wings somewhere for the game............guess it might be best to order early and pick them up around 1pm before, cause no way I'm going out after 3pm when game is on.

Probably will just get some naps in between nurse calls getting vitals and pain meds every 3 hours.

That’s what they said. Nurse said I was in the bathroom for 30 minutes just trying to pee. 
Lol 😆 I know everyone wants to hear about my bladder. I’m turning this into cruise review. Oxy sometimes makes me feel like the room is moving like a ship 🛳.

So true. Pups did great on their own in a new larger crate we got for them. Linda says they miss me. I think it’s more of they miss me handing them treats.

Tax question for Florida members here?

 

Do you file state income tax forms living in Florida?

 

Reason I ask is my Wife works from home for a company that is based in Florida. We know we don't file in Virginia, but does she have to file a Florida return................she does have Florida income tax taken out of her check every week?( Should the company she works for be taking out income tax out of her checks?)

 

Anybody know how that works, Living in Virginia, working for a company in Florida?

That's a good idea too! We can pick up some wings and celery tomorrow, and I have sauce and cooking bags.  I like ours just as much as restaurant ones.

Well, I can recommend Red Baron or any rising crust pizza.

For free, I'll go out in my jammies and get it. I mean, if college kids can do that, why can't I?

Do you have an airfryer, wings are easy.  The biggest challenge is finding wings in your stores now.  Wings come with three sections you cut off the end of the wing at the joint.  Cut the drummy from the two bone section, trim as much fat and skin as you can, and cook them in the airfryer,  then coat them in sauce and finish in the oven.  Super yummy better than takeout.  Easy.
