Default Oh Dave!
I am so sorry you have to undergo such radical surgery. And they're doing this for precancerous colon, rectum, and anus? Wow, that's invasive! I sure hope they're not hacking you up on a whim.

Good luck doesn't quite do it, Dave, but know my thoughts are with you, hoping that this surgery brings you health and an improved quality of life.

Default Oh podmate!
I've been wondering for a month now when the next step was coming. First, I'm praying for you! I have no doubt you'll be fine, but you do have a hard row to hoe! Remember the challenges you faced last February. Those were tough times, but you came through like a champ! You have done wonderfully well, your stats speak for themselves. I know your wife is a pearl of great price, but if you need anything, holler! You're just a few hours drive away- and Duckie is right up the road, I'll shanghai her too! Good luck!

Hi Dave

I take imodium daily as I have constant diarrhoea otherwise. It just runs out of me and I don't get much in the way of warning either.

Good luck with the op, my thoughts are with you!

Dave, first allow me to congratulate you on your amazing weight loss journey. You gave very little indication of this monumental event coming up, and you are a very courageous and amazing man.

I wish you every good fortune now and always, and my prayers and positive thoughts are sent your way
