Our Bud's hanging in there! Sometime late yesterday Gary called, very tired, but ecstatic that the operation went better...MUCH BETTER than he anticipated. There is even a chance that they can do a reversal of the colostomy bag in a couple of months.

I didn't talk to him, and my phone does not record originating phone numbers when the message goes to voice-mail.

He told me to call him Monday or Tuesday. I already called the only number I know, and I never got an answer.

The fragility of life and the need to keep those you care about close really hit me in the A** on this one.

Gary, be assured, you are really important to lots of people, especially me!
