Holy samolians <-- if that is really a word, Brent! I had no idea you were in the crosshairs of medical help. This thread started back in late Spring and has just come back up to the surface like Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt. An underwater knife fight in every other episode, with bubbling sounds to make us all feel we are under the water with him.

I have had one of those abdominal drain tubes post surgery myself. Here is a little advice from a few years back for me: If you have cats, keep them at arms distance. They see that tube and they have to go for it. In my case, luckily Albert, my cat bud, didn't grab my catheter tube vice the abdomen drain tube. It would have been an all out brawl in the back yard had that happened.

But in all seriousness, friend, positive thoughts and karma to you from here north of the Hoosier border in SW MI. God man, I had no idea you were where you are, but I now have everything positive and from the soul headed your way.

Thanks for the update, Andrew. Brent is everyone's bud.

Just like Jim Georges.
