Well Centex , after a week I just got home from N.E. Baptist Hospital after having emergency surgery to take out my Gall Bladder ... I had abdominal pains for several days with no let up , thinking I had food poisoning ... Well after having a CAT Scan & some lab work the surgeon narrowed it down to my Gall Bladder ... He told me later that the infection was so extensive with a bunch of stones , that had I waited one more day my body would had gone Septic ..... So this will teach me to put things off ... Hopefully by next weekend I'll be able to get out of the house and maybe go for a ride & get some Wind Therapy .... See you all soon , thanks the Geezer  |

Hey Mark , I found out the symptoms for food poisoning and Gall Bladder attacks are very similar ..... The big difference is that food poisoning usually goes away after 24 to 48 hours .... I'm guessing in a couple weeks with all the walking around I'm doing, I should be over this pain in my guts and back to normal .... I was real surprised to find out that gall bladder surgery is very common ... Thank you my friends for the kind thoughts .... Thanks the Geezer |

Hey Old Geezer Richard! I've missed you on a number of rides, whether I bailed out or you. Either way, I've still yet to meet you in person. I'm glad you're feeling better but please take care of you so one day we get to ride together.
