It will require bypass surgery. I am such a hopeless optimist. Been so excited for this procedure since it was scheduled months ago, imagining instant relief from the pain. Instead, the old pain remains and I now that the opiates have worn off, I realize I have new pains from the two holes they punched into my crotch, plus a $220 copay as frosting on the cake. My bandmates have been supportive and sympathetic, asking if there's anything I need. My answer to each of them: I need to make some music. We're still on for rehearsal on Sunday. It's always the highlight of my week. We might not be able to gig much, but we all genuinely enjoy playing together. And with all this practice, when we do eventually get back out there, at least we're gonna be frickin' tight. NagBap says there's work to be done over the virtual intertubes, too!

bitflipper Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 Band practice was fun yesterday but totally wiped me out. Slept 14 hours, now hoping this large 7-11 coffee will do its magic. I'm out of coffee at home but although I can't walk around the grocery store to replenish my supply, I could handle the smaller dimensions of the corner 7-11. I used to joke about getting old. But to quote Betty White, "old age ain't for pussies". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad said at his 75 birthday meal, "this getting old lark is no fun, in fact it is sh1t", my dad didn't swear. He made it to 85. Wishing you best Dave, hope the solution comes soon for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
