Another update...
Aug. 2nd, 2004 08:01 amDad got his gallbladder out last Thursday. They couldn't do it laparoscopically, so they had to cut him open. Apparnetly he's been having problems for years, and his gallbladder was all shrivelled up and stuck to his colon. YUCK!
Well, we were hoping dad would come home tomorrow, but that didn't happen. Though he IS coming home today...some time around noon. We picked up a recliner from the town's loan closet, so he has something to sit on other than the couch, which is damn near impossible to get out of without using your abs (he can't use his abs since they were cut open in order to get to his gallbladder).
That's good news.
Also, yesterday, went woodchuck hunting with Luke. That's always fun. At least we had some success this time. Saw 4, got 2. I got the two, missed one, Luke missed the other. The really strange part is that the two that I got were from about 150 yds, and the one I missed was within 50. Forgot about that whole shooting high at much under 100 yds. OOPS! On the positive side, I hit the two exactly where I wanted to *happy dance*. I'm a better shooter than a Marine! But shhhhhhhhhhhhhh...don't tell HIM that.
We also saw a coyote, though we didn't get a shot at it...it took off before I could even find it in the scope. Saw two deer on the way out after that, a 4-point and a 6-point, both still with velvet.
Yup....that's where I'm at. I'm tired, worn out, but alive, and things are getting better day by day.
