Where's DB been?
 

Well, gotta say I wish I could tell you all that he was on vacation at some tropical locale but I heard earlier this morning from Mrs. DB that he's had a medical problem which required surgery and has been in the hospital for the last week.

I won't go into all the details here, as I don't have that many to provide anyway, but I do know that he is gradually making progress.

Please keep Mr. & Mrs. DB in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully he'll be out of the hospital and back here posting his new avatars and putting smiles on all of our faces ASAP. :wish:




Please feel free to PM me and will let you know all the details I can if you'd like.

Get well soon dicksbro!!!!!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((((DB))))))))))))))))))

Hey DB the Peoria restuarants are starting to struggle with out you around. Get well soon. Our prays and good wishes are being sent your way. And tell Mrs. DB to take care also.

Oh, no! What will we do without his particular brand of...irony?

No update. I called a little bit ago and left a message letting Mrs. DB know that they are in our thoughts and hearts. I don't want to pester her too much so I'll probably try again over the weekend.

No worries though, I'll be sure to post if she gives me a jingle back. :nod:

Thank you.

Very good news! Mrs. DB gave me a call back a little bit ago and DB is doing a lot better. As a matter of fact, they are talking about letting him go home sometime this weekend! :D

I called his room after I spoke with Mrs. DB and we had a nice talk. He sounded great, just sort of anxious to get back and get online again. He misses everybody a lot and thanks you all for the well wishes.

YAY!!!!!!!!

Thanks IowaMan!

Absolutely my pleasure Soda. Just wish I was over in Peoria with him so I could sneak him some ribs or hot dogs or pizza or................. :rofl:

*now* we're in trouble.

I just spoke to DB a few minutes ago. They *are* going to let him finally go home. The doctors had discussed letting him leave this evening, but he opted (for many reasons) to stay this last night and leave in the morning. He sounds very DB-ish, and I know he's anxious to get back home. It's a big relief.

That's GREAT news!!!!! :nana::cheerlead::nana:

There goes Mrs DB's peace and quiet.

Let me guess he was feeling better and wanted to have one last night to flirt with all the nurses.

I suspect they're sending him home because he threatened to start taking naked walks down the hallway...

And what's wrong with that?

I just called their house and got the answering machine. I'm assuming that's because Mrs. DB is picking him up from the hospital now. Just an assumption though.

I left a message that we are thinking of him and hoping he's doing well. I don't want to bug them so I'll wait a while and call back later today or tomorrow.

DB ~ what is it with you, fella? A peron doesn't post for a day or two, and here I am gettin' all afeart for ya!! Jingscrivvenshelpmaboab!

Anyhoo, great to hear you're on the mend - looking forward to seeing you back, with some more changes of Av to keep me going. You (and Mrs DB) are in my prayers.

:D

I'm Home Again
 

Hi everyone. Got home from the hospital about an hour or so ago. I'll give the the short version of the story because about each day I learn something new about what happened ...

Anyway very early on the morning of the 20th some abdominal pains encourgaged my wife to say, "We' got to run into the Emergency Room" and find out what's wrong. I remember reaching the hospital and being put on a wheel chair and taken into the ER. Three days later I was coming out of a medically induced coma having had two days of surgery to correct a problem where two bits (?) of tissue had fused together in some way with a mid opening. Evidently the intestines would slip and through the opening and then back out. (I didn't know this was happening.)

The final stage of the problem begain when during one of these "movements" the instestine kinked essentially closing down the system.

Two days of surgery following as there were some problems with the first surgery results (I have no idea what yet). I then spent several days in ICU late in the evening on Thursday (I think :spin: ) moved into a private room while I went through some serious re-hab.

I'm happy to say that now I'm home and I think everything is okay once again. This next week, I'll schedule meetings with my surgeons and with my fmaily doctor ... maybe that'll clue me in on more.

Not something you want to do but thank you all who have been so kind in your thoughts and prayers. It's good to know that so many people carel.

I'll write more, but, quite frankly, I'm rather pooped right now and think I'm going to retire to my recliner in the living and either nap or just watch TV for a bit. Again, thank you from the Mrs and my hearts.

(((( Love to you all ))))

DB and his Mrs
