Thank y'all!

[Recluse]

I was reading the get well wishes and prayers and was overcome.

Still in the hospital. It seems my white blood cell is way too high, so I stay on massively powerful antibiotic constantly.

I really want to go home!

Sorry for weird writing but we're using our mini tablet and it's hard to type on.

Thanks again.

:coffee:

Congratultions, sir. White blood count means you are still fighting the
infection, so hang in there with the antibiotics.

get well, and more prayers for you and your loved ones.

[DLCTEX]

We haven't quit praying. Get well.

[Charlie Two Tracks]

Great to hear from you. Get well soon. I'm sure you will.

[btroj]

Get well Recluse. A burst appendix is a good way to get a nasty infection.

Maybe this is a good time to start on a new book....

[**oneshot**]

You well enough to type!! Thats progress!

[x101airborne]

I am just glad to hear you breathin! My Dads burst on him and it really almost killed him. I was scared but did not want to make anyone else (your sweet missus who informed us of your plight) worry more than they were.
God Speed on the path to recovery.

[hiram1]

Get well soon and i hope for the best for you and yours.keep the faith you will do better.

[L1A1Rocker]

Good luck with it. That bursting is real pain in the butt. Forturnatly it happened there during prep so you weren't moving around and all the nasty spreading. I hope you're not adverse to the antibiotics cause you'll probably be on them (high doses) for a while.

Glad you're still around, best wishes.

Ditto for me!

I'm a pretty new guy around here, but glad to see you back up and posting nevertheless. Wishing you a speedy recovery as well.

[1911sw45]

JD just take your time and let the Dr and nurses take good care of you. We here are still praying for you and your family.

[TXGunNut]

Good to hear from you, hope they get a handle on the infection forthwith. That's serious stuff. Get better soon and thank the missus for keeping us posted.

[tward]

Best wishes for your recovery, God bless. You are in my prayers. Tim

[Stonecrusher]

Glad to hear you are doing better. Will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

[P.K.]

Good to hear, mend up and take it easy. Godspeed,

[Superfly]

It is good to here that you made it this far. You know that you got work ahead of you now. Take it easy and then give it hell. Also get checked out real good before you go flying again Just in case.

Looks like you got the worst over though.

Glad to see you are posting some again. Hopefully you are on the road to a full recovery. I also hope you were able to get the BBQ you were after. You'd think for what they charge at those high rise "Hiltons" that a person could get about any kind of food they wanted. Hang in there its coming.

[Edubya]

All of the above X10. Miss your posts. Get well and Keep us informed.

Been on my mind constantly too. We're pulling for ya, JD, it ain't over until you're home and cleared. Godspeed, my friend, and please remind your wonderful bride to get some REST.

Couldn't have an appendectomy like everyone else could you, you had to go one better and burst it........some people will do anything for attention............... :kidding: .........get well soon.

[Wayne Smith]

Praying as I write this. Good to hear you up and cs. Let the antibiotics do their work, don't push to hard. Frankly, I don't see where a bit of barbecue will hurt anything, but that's not an MD after my name!

[cbrick]

Geez, I missed the first thread by your wife & had to go looking for it. That's down right terrible news but your on the mend now.

Aren't you in a Texas hospital? Isn't it illegal there to not have BBQ on the menu? BTW . . . There are much better ways to get a little bed rest than scaring everyone like that.

Rick

[theperfessor]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[Smitty's Retired]

Recluse, glad to hear your doing better. Hang in there, it will get better. The hardest battle at times is to get over the Cabin Feaver of being couped up in the hospital. I went through the same thing back in 1979. No fun for sure. Prayers with you bud.

[blackthorn]

Sounds like you are on the recovery road. Good for you! Take all the time you need to get over the shock to your system so there are no further problems down the road!

[gray wolf]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You get better quick now Hear.
Don't chase the Nurses, just think of some good BBQ. All of us here are pulling for Ya buddy.

[shooterg]

Maybe you'll write another book while you're resting !

Don't chase the Nurses

I have it on the highest authority that chasing nurses not only speeds up recovery by 68.47%, but also nurtures hair growth and helps with skin tone.

[JeffinNZ]

Many thanks to "Mrs JD" for letting us all know you were unwell.

Good to see you back on line.

[geargnasher]

That statistic is from military hospitals where one's better half is usually NOT present. Chasing nurses in JD's case would likely result in him becoming another sort of statistic, or at the least developing severe brain swelling.

Get well soon and leave the nurses alone.

Having just experienced the sheer agony of having an appendix rupture/burst, I can't even begin to imagine the agony of having both testicles simultaneously rupture. But I fear that would be the experience had I gone chasing nurses. . .

I'm in pain just thinking about that one J.D.. Get well sone...Ray

[Blacksmith]

Glad your back. Don't chase the nurses just lure them to the dark side and turn them into gun loving Boolet Casting angels of mercy. See how many recruits you can gather before you get out of there.

From what we've seen you have a really good woman there, JD. I love my nurses but they're all exes, OK? Hope she'll get rested up quickly because you need to get out of that hospital before you catch something really ugly.

[SciFiJim]

JD, I am glad to hear from your own typing that you are getting better. Just remember, grinding your teeth in frustration as you wait to leave the hospital is NOT good exercise. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, let half of it out and think of pulling the trigger to send some lead downrange instead.

Please thank Mrs. Recluse for keeping us informed.

[shdwlkr]

recluse
you just have no idea of how many of us think you are important and want the best for you and keep getting better so we can have you around to read you thoughts from time to time

[gmsharps]

Sounds like you still have some things to do on this earth. Just not your time yet.
Get well soon
