So, after surgery for lung cancer and two more visits to the HUP Hospital, I'm home - to stay. So tired of going back to the hospital due to not being able to keep food down. But, I'm good to go now, surgery went fine. Can't recommend it though. Doc's say after a little chemo session or two (for safety sake) I'll be good. I did give up one lobe of my right lung. Heck, I only smoked for like 50 years. Shouldn't have been a problem ??????? Yeah, I know...
Anyhow, I finally feel like joining my friends again and feel like I might even get back to my old self one of these days. Great to be back. Mike

Welcome back you've got a lot of catching up to do, lots of reading. Did you see that BLT Sandwedge is headed in our direction, moving to the Philly area.

Blacksmith- Thanks - I'm really glad I feel like doing something again. Told the wife we're gonna have to go shooting one of these days. I'll have to get with the BLT Sandwedge. Sounds like he's going to be very near where I live. Mike

Well, thanks fellas. Me & Joe do appreciate all the well wishes. Also, we're both pretty bad a$$, so we should be just fine. Blacksmith - I shoot at Bucks County Fish & Game in Doylestown. A decent ride from Lancaster for sure. Joe - you hang right on in there, pal. One of my room mates in the hospital had my same surgery a few years ago and he said it took him about a year till he was back to his old self. So, it will be. Thanks again guys. Mike
