Speaking of looking great, so does his wife. Greta is a honey!
Yeah, yeah.... She always looks fabulous!
I'm actually feeling good now- if you missed all the drama, the short version is I inhaled a small piece of steakbone maybe a year ago. That caused a massive infection in the left lung, Beginning in Nov, I had a fever for a month before it was diagnosed, had 6 hours of lung surgery to fix it, and the entire ordeal took about two months to sort out. I finally had the two drain tubes for the lung removed 2 weeks ago and the line for the IV antibiotics came out last week. They figure If I had waited 4 more days the infection would have spread and we wouldn't be having this conversation....
I'm still aggressively rehabbing- 30 minutes a day on the stationary bike, and just started light weights until the 11" incision in the back heals a little better...and the lung function is now 80% and improving...
...and the exciting part for me- I'll be back making pipes next weekend wearing a really expensive mask....and if the lung function is normal when I have a followup CT scan in 6 weeks, I'll fire up a bowl....
Lessons to be learned- sometimes, it's the stuff ya don't see coming that will kill you....
