Well the swelling is starting to subside and the pain is tolerable. But boy oh boy Sat Morning was the worst, I was sitting drinking coffee at the local coffee shop with a buddy and all of a sudden it felt like some one had just halled off and kicked me as hard as they could you know where and I just about passed out. I threw money at buddy told him to pay for it and left straight to the hospital
I knew something was wrong, Doc told me what it was after an ultra sound said they had to do emergency surgery to save my (a.k.a. (buddy) that the cord was twisted, cutting off blood flow. They phoned the wife and told her I was there and that I was being taken to surgery and to come down, Scared the daylights out of her but when she got there and I was out of O.R. she found it in herself to find the humor in it as well as every one at her job. So maybe I shouldn't have snapped a few pictures while she was in hard Labour with the boy. Paybacks.

She did an excellent job taking care of my baby's while I was gone and took good care of the children to.

Well off my feet for at least a week so I am going to read my two new books "How to grow Giant Pumpkins I and II."

Got to go the wife is going to give me a sponge bath seeing as I can't get the stitches wet, and no don't even think about suggesting that, right now that is the last thing on my mind. But the pampering is nice....
