    I spoke with Joe earlier this evening. He's heavily medicated and hard to understand at times, but it sounds like the docs think he may have some "stones" floating around in there and no, it's not the rocks in his head. I believe he said the docs where going to decide what to do about the issue tomorrow.

    Thanks for the update, that's actually pretty good news.

    You didn't mention if it was kidney stones or gallbladder, but at least that's something concrete that can be dealt with.

    Plug n' chug, Mr HearingImpaired.

    It's all good.

    Thanks for the update Jesse,, last time I spoke with him, he was having good days/bad days,,unfortunately most of them seemed to be the bad days,,if I'm understanding correctly his physicans believe he has gallstones?Hopefully it's something that can be treated/cured with little or no invasive procedures.Hang in there Joe.

    My guess is that Joe will get a special procedure done called "ERCP". A small tube is passed down the throat, passed thru the stomach and into the small intestine. Using this tool, the surgeon can identify the problem and even remove gall stones. This is all done without pain or cutting. My gut (pun intended) tells me Joe will be his ornery self soon. You know, this man, going thru this crap just sent me some parts for my TT!! He gets my best wishes as well.

    Hey Larry,

    The next time I come over do you think that you could do this procedure while I listen to some King Crimson while chillin' on your sofa?

    faaak, I gotta feeling he has a gall bladder removal surgery on the horizen. hope to Christ I'm wrong!

    fairly routine, but a bit painful...and pricey :(

    should shape him up good though since the rest of his blood numbers were ok...so thats cool.

    Sure. No problem. In exchange, you must build me the first nuclear-powered turntable. Just shield it well. I don't want any complaints from Dipole Dan.

    I talked to Joe a little yesterday, and today. He is much better today. Keep him in your preyers. They still don't know what is wrong yet. He has some test coming up. I'd like to extend his thanks to you guys. Thanks.
    Ben

    Sorry that I have been out of touch folks but here is the skinny: I ended up back in the hospital for a week and they killed me . . . NO ****, I was dead. They wanted to do an MRI on my pancreas, gall bladder and liver. I told them the I was extremely cloustrophic and if they wanted to complete the test they were going to have to keep out cold. So in their effort to sedate me enough they shot two vials of atavan and two more vials of dilaudid (that would have been plenty).

    Here's the funny part, they couldn't fit me it the friggn MRI tube!! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in the mean time I stopped breathing and they did a code blue but before they put the paddles to my chest they hit me with a dose of Narcane and I came out of it none worse for wear but really, really stoned which by the was really yucky,everything smelled funny, people talking like a tape recorder in slow motion, thing movin around the room, It was friggin a place I never want to go to again.

    Anyway, they couldn't find anything and sent me home again. I think I got home on April 5th and the I had another week of hell withdrawling from all the drugs they kept pumping with me (YOU ALWALYS PAY THAT PIPER!).

    So I'm home and my legs are like neborn doe legs. I wake up in the middle of the night dying of thirst and Phyllisann had taken kids to skating rink afterwhich Joey was going to stay over a friends hours. Now I have a urnianal and a pooper as well as plastic contaners for water and the such in the bedroom because, "Doctors order, no walking without assistance. Well good ole hard head horsesass Joe goes stagering into kitchen slips on a wet spot on the ceramic tile floor and do a head over heals crashing into the floor with the rear right of my head. I don't know how long I was out but I must of to after a bit and in my haze tried to get up again and (I WON'T GET PIST OR TAKE OFFENSE IF YOU LAUGH AT THIS.)
    and do another half pike and land on the left side of the back of my head.

    Now I'm down, Phyillsann cames home and finds me spawled on the floor with the glass decoration and stuff she keep on the table broken all over the plays.

    She's get me to come too (did I mention she's an RN) and tries to get me up and my head has a golf ball one side and a chicken egg on the other not mention that me back and the side of my feet were killing me.

    So with all this **** and all these tests coming up, and with a double concusion, an hairline cracks on the side of my feet, I look like some who just called out a whole **** of cowboys in Fort Worth by telling them that they as well as their mothers smell like horsehit.

    I've been resting and have the blues but hey I could be dead!

    Sorry for not responding to a lot of you phone calls but I'm pretty beat up, physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm not usually one to ask for prays or good thoughts for myself but I could use some right about now.

    Thanks to all you folks, and Phyllisann thanks you too.
    Joe
