"Pop's" could use some support

[Roughcountry]

Very Good news CK, so glad to hear it.

[Talondale]

Glad to hear.  Now the difficult part: getting him to take it easy while he recovers.  If he's anything like my Dad he'll wear everyone out trying to get him to do what the doctor orders.

[redfish]

I pray that God will hold you close and pull you through this.
Of course, another thing you've got going for you is that us Texans come out of the womb ready to tackle a bear with a BB gun, and it gets worse from there.

[Littlefeather]

Good morning Gang. You are a welcome bunch to wake up to this morning.

I'll be with Dad shortly. He's still in recovery but is stable, coherent, and is remembering who he sees and when they were there. The Doctors are amazed that he is in his condition(great condition). The Dr. says that he has reacted to surgery better than ever expected. They intended to have him in ICU for several days but this morning have decided that he may be ready for his own room. They'll watch him for a few more hours and then make the decision. I'll certainly pass along all your best wishes. He obviously has many friends here and you've all been an awsome help. I really wish there was something more to say than just a simple "Thank You".

[Whip]

Now that brings a BIG smile to my face!  Can't tell you how happy I am to hear that he is doing even better than expected.  Not at all surprised though - I've always known he is a tough old bird!

[hormoan]

Great news to see on TradGang this AM. I guess just maybe there might be something to that old saying of how tuff Texans are.    

Can be a big job trying to force some folks to slow down and take it easy while recuperating, and it sounds like Gary may be one of those. Gary has done his job, Curtis it's your turn to do yours. I suspect you'll be getting a package from Terry soon which may help you keep your Dad occupied during the healing process.

[Littlefeather]

Yea Tom, Terry called while Dad was in surgery. He told of the package and I'm quite sure he'll be in healing just seeing it. He's had good words to say about your tallents. Thanks for your well wishes. I'll pass them along in a few minutes. CK

[Caddo]

Outstanding! WooHoo!

[Traddict]

That's wonderful news.  I wish both of you the best.

[DRR324]

Thoughts and prayers sent, been through it twice in last few years, younger bro with testicle and mother with lung.  Both are doing well.  Live life every day guys/gals, its the only one we get.

[Tom Leemans]

Good news so far! Hey maybe you can go shoot a goat and they'll install that stomach in there!

Seriously, I've seen amazing gastric stuff done by surgeons. He'll adapt and will be fine.

[robtattoo]

Man, that's the best news I've heard all week! Pops has been in my thoughts while I've been away. I'm so glad he's gonna be all OK. Curtis, you're a great Son with a wonderful Father. I know it's been a stressful time for the whole family but it's truly great to hear that everything's fine.
Give the ol' fella a big hug from me, next time you see him!

[paleFace]

sounds like he might be shooting a bow before you know it. Great news Curtis!
