"Ode to Angelique" on a kazoo and juice harp simultaneously

her "flying bat" trick

Rog that reminds me of a gag from that Chris Isaak show from many years ago concerning a roadie who brought "brownies from the stalker girl in again"... I told you not to eat the brownies from stalkers!!! 
You didn't bring Nancy brownies did you? 

Rog, I couldn't get the rest of the lyric out of my head... "One of these days these hands are going to strangle all of you..."

Oh Patti that is awful... BUT your teeth are probably thanking you. 

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I appreciate it immensely!! Each passing week things have improved, so I'm hopeful that things will just keep going up and up from here.

But in all the turmoil of my guts being ripped apart, I understand the stories I've read on this forum of DS being at least partly an emotional crutch if you will... When everything is going to hell, for reasons I do not understand, the show can STILL transport me away from everything and bring me back to a happier time of my childhood of watching it with my grandmother and great-aunt.  David Selby speaks of this fact in one of the DVD interviews I'm remembering.  I realize all of this is preaching to the choir in this circle!!    That's why we love it so.

"Straw Dogs" was a little disappointing after seeing "The Wild Bunch" I'd have to say... But I enjoyed the low-tech "Head of Alfredo Garcia" at least, albeit a little long...

Greetings!! I've finally been able to get back on line after a miserable month recovering after surgery over the holidays...

To make a long and boring story shorter, I had a colonoscopy about a week before Christmas. I've had probably 15 of those scans over the years since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis around 1992... Anyways had the procedure on a Monday and went home like I always do to sleep off the anesthesia. I woke up with just terrible indigestion and abdominal pain, which is semi-normal post-op symptoms. Then it does not get any better for the next 3 days, although I was feeling recovered enough to go to work on Thursday. This "indigestion" was still very prevalent, but I was NOT normally prone to having it at all, even after a huge spicy Mexican dinner!

I figure something must be going on, so I call the doc and he sends me for x-rays to just to be safe. Then I get the call at 11pm at night that there seems to be a tear or perforation in my colon somewhere. Go directly to the ER, do not pass GO, do not collect $200...

Yikes... Well this story is going on longer than expected, BUT for reasons beyond my control I had to undergo basically an almost complete colon removal surgery... The doctors said that I could've died from sepsis like soldiers on the battlefield getting shot and their inner guts poisoning their insides. YIKES. They couldn't believe that I had no fever, or hadn't been throwing up for 3 days straight.



The recovery was long and difficult, but the main reason I'm telling this story is to make sure that if ANYONE has ANY kind of strange abdominal pain, to please get it checked out immediately!!!!! It could possibly save your life... I feel pretty certain that it saved mine. 

I will take it Magnus. And appreciate it. 

Luckily I have this forum to encapsulate my previous forgotten thoughts.
