I wrote him a letter expressing the concern of the members here at The Pipeline. I didn't expect a personal response in the form of a letter but figured he'd simply come to the site and let us know all is well. Expecting the worse I checked a website called Legacy which lists obits. Thankfully he didn't show up there. But that doesn't mean he isn't in a hospital. I contemplated calling the police in Athens, Alabama where he resides for a 'Health or Wellness Check' (not really sure how to go about asking if you're not a family member) but wasn't sure if I was crossing the line of his personal privacy in the event he was going through personal, family, or legal issues and preferred not sharing them with me or the group in general. Any suggestions?
I would like to say I have a great plan, but I don't. I think Youare correct about possibly crossing the line regarding privacy and other personal matters. Sort of at a standstill regarding Dutch, but thank you for the effort you put forth in trying to solve this mystery.
Sincere thanks for all prayers and good thoughts. Was cleared tody for surgery to be performed on Friday. Having this foley cath in since the 17th has become pure hell.. Worse than for big cancer surgery in 2000 at MSKCC.
@motie2 Been smoking a lot of Barbados Plantation in your honor since you're not able to smoke in the hospital. Glad to know your surgery is scheduled and you can hopefully get past this sh*t that's causing you pain. I only had a cath for a short time before, during, and a short time after my back surgery. And I never want to experience it again. Inserting it wasn't too bad because I was slowing going under after my pre-op shot. Unfortunately I was wide awake when they removed it. Can't believe they had such a long tube in such a short dick.
@ghostsofpompeii Hated to hear of your bad experience with the Cath, but I must admit, your last sentence made me chuckle so hard my wife felt the need to see if I was finally losing it. (-10 points @motie2)...
Glad to hear from you @motie2. I'll certainly be thinking of you and sending good vibes your way on Friday. While I haven't smoked any Barbados Plantation in your honor, I did purchase a new Carey pipe in your honor. Your rave reviews have made a believer out of me! Be well, friend.
My prayers are with you @motie2, and I made a special order of some Barbados Plantation to have some on hand in your honor. I have a few old Carey pipes that I’m going to clean up and restore.
@motie2 Positive thoughts in your direction. You'll be happier and stronger after this issue is tackled, I'm sure of it. Prayers to you for good health and for a hot nurse with "large tracts of land" to comfort you.
