Aim Hard!

Thank you all for both the posted and private prayers, thoughts and concerns for both me and my family. Yes, I was released today when the Surgeon inspected his work (incision) and my stats. The incision is 12&quot; long with 28 staples and looks pretty good for its size. The tumor was not 8# but 8&quot; by about 7&quot;. It was pushing the attached kidney up against the diaphram and behind the rib, and was also wedged between the liver and the colon. Because of this complication, they did call in another specialist to determine how best to remove the tumor.
I am glad to be home and am doing quite well for what I have had to encounter. With Dave and the help of others, I should be in the woods in a couple of weeks. Very gingerly at first, but still in the woods.

This situation could very well have had a very negative ending had I not gotten a general physical. My Doctor also told me that he may not have found the tumor had my stomach had more fat around it.

What I'm saying to each and every one is to keep your weight down and get a physical. It may well save your life.

Good luck and good hunting.

Keep my weight down? Living in Nebraska? With my Wife's cooking? Well for you Len I'll try. Seriously though it's good to have you back and don't over do it too soon! Russ.

Protect your hunting rights, &quot;Spay or neuter a liberal.&quot;

Rangeball: I'm so glad your father is doing fine. I pray I will do as well. My prognosis looks good right now.

I'll have a lot of time to be on the 'puter while recouperating. I'll try to stay out of trouble by not irritating some people about sensitive subjects.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Welcome back, Len. Glad to hear things are going your way and you won't be missing the woods this season.

As far as the additional computer time, I wish the circumstances leading to it were different, but I'm looking forward to reading your 2 cents worth, controversial or not
