Tuesday afternoon at 5:00, Crochety went in for the much awaited "tummy tuck." Fortunately, it lasted half the time they thought would be needed. Surgeon took approx. 35lbs. of tissue and fat away and cleaned out the infectious areas. He looks great for a guy who has gone through what he has. He is in ICU just as a precaution and his hand is on the pain med button. Now to the healing process. Please keep up the prayers and good thoughts.

ReplyDeleteGet back soonest - we miss you!
Well, after his Giants beat my Cowboys, I am rather reluctant, but if you insist, I will, my dear Mrs. C. Just tell him that I am only wishing him well because of you and the Spawn, however.
ReplyDeleteProgress at last Mrs C, good news.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this is a big step forward and he will soon be back on the couch in time for you to go and shovel snow!
We will. Thanks for the update and good wishes and prayers on the way!
ReplyDeleteAs always, good thoughts and prayers sent your way. Let the healing begin!
ReplyDeleteHang in there Mrs. C! Great to get an update from you.
Finally, steps forward!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Mrs C.
Sending healing thoughts.....:-)
This is a maggot-free zone, then! That's really good news. That means his blood thickened up and he didn't have to go the maggot route. You guys must be very pleased about this. Sounds like a big step. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the update,Mrs.C.
ReplyDeleteGlad he is doing well. Get home soon and back to healing.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I hope Crotchety just keeps getting better and better from now on.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Hope you heal quickly my crotchety friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs C. Appreciate your updates on Da Old Man.
Yeah. We'll have to leave the football out of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear this good news. Tell him to keep his spirits up and to try not to get a cramp in that pain medication finger.
Woot woot! Excellent. What will you do with such a studly fellow now Mrs. C? hehe You both take care, and get well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the update, Mrs. C. I've definitely been thinking of him.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, I am sort of relieved to hear that at least for the moment, maggots have not been roped in to this particular treatment. :)

35 pounds??? Can I have that doctor's name?
Wonderful news! Thank you for letting us know. I'll be praying for his speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news for Mr. C. With those 35 lbs gone I imagine he can see his penis again - so important for a man.
ReplyDeleteBe Well, both of you.

YAY!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so very happy to read this. I hope things continue to go well.

So did he go for the ab implants? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat news... great news.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things went better than expected. :)
Rest up and get better, and remember to be thankful that your groin remains 100% maggot-free.
Oh, Mrs.C!!! Thanks so much for telling us!! What a relief. I SO hope that this is just the beginning of nothing but healing.
ReplyDelete{{{hugs}}} to both of you.
Give Joe my love. Tell him I will ask Bruce to dedicate a song to him on Wednesday. lol How about "A Night With the Jersey Devil"? Too obscure? Alright. Let's just go with "Born To Run". This one's for you Joe!!
Don't think I have forgotten you old man. Life just gets in the way. I am so very glad things went well. I hope to hear from you personally next time. Mrs. C I don't have to tell not to take that personally. Love and good wishes to you both.
ReplyDeletewith you

Wonderful news indeed!! All that finger, toe, and nipple crossing has finally worked..
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. C - and prayers for you and Crotchety.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! You've both been in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteNow you can save the maggots to use for fish bait.
Hope the healing is speedy.
Can't wait for more writings from you! Get on your pins soon! Prayers and well wishes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Mrs. Crotchety. You are both still in my prayers and I hope that Joe is feeling better and looking snappy in his new size small hospital gown!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm new here, but seeing as I came in at such a major time - let me send my wishes for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. Will be reading...
Cheers
