Had a chat w/ JM last eve that tested both the cell bat and the bladder ... 'undaunted' comes to mind as being apropos. If'n he ever missed a beat it is far from apparent.

Wow!! Thanks for that. Interesting to the max. Selfishly, I'm glad you chose feet on ground.

John, Great to see you back and posting. Make sure to spend some of your down time working on a good story to explain your new scar, something creative that can be referenced with a distant stare and few words, "Thresher shark, Sea of Japan, '78".  Best, Ken

John,
We're all glad you're still making good use of that tough, yet tore up, hide o' yourn! Keep that soaring spirit attached to that string of flesh, bone, aches and pains! Love, peace and soul, man.

Our bud has been temporarily made a 'horizontal John' to insure that the upmost stitches take properly. His exuberance from being loosed was straining them enough that the docs thightened the drag & reeled him back in for a short spell.
Spoke w/him this morn and all is well, conversation quickly drifting to the usual stuff, inclusive of practicing for a charging lion types of shots;-) Still ... its gotta be like watching paint dry, being still.

Time for an up-date, John went back in the hospital earlier in the week due to a blood infection. Potential for some kinda hospital staph thing is always there whenever any invasive procedure is undertaken. Good news tonight is that it isn't THAT. The dripper antibiotic he is on right now is no fun, but they now seem confident they got it pegged & are harnesing it with the right stuff. The long & short of it is that he is gonna be there a bit longer, probably, & total recovery may be a bit slower than originallly thot. He will be sent home as soon as they are comfortable w/ the progress, but any and all physical activity levels are gonna be limited for a while. Probably a month before they are willing to say that all the blood infection is killed and gone and the new artery installation sutures are healed tight like they want. No infection was found nor detected in that area. BTW, that's great news! The other thing is that it takes time for the tissue to grow back around the new vein.
He sounds normal as ever & his spirits are fine tho he was quick to remind me that he'd rather have a dif kinda spirit .. one that wouldn't mix real well with the dripper stuff;-)
