LOL!!!
No worries Spud, Doug and I are happy you're thinking of his health too that's all. As for me, the procedure is confirmed next Thursday here in Orlando. Until then, I have to drink a lot of water and maintain the pain as best I can using the provided "Happy" pills. (Percocet) Unfortunately, every time I need to hit the bathroom for a stand up session, it's excruciatingly painful and the medication is pretty much ineffective during those few seconds of release. I mean moan and groan agony with this stent in the kidney tube.
Now my challenge is to not have to take those pain med's like candy because that leads to a host of other ailments and problems. Reliance, addictions, Opioid Induced Constipation, etc. That's my real concern more than the upcoming surgery TBH. That's when all of this goes away hopefully. It's the waiting and pain management that's a very real situation for me right now. I've had to take the max allowable dosage instead of halving that which I usually try to do.
Just being honest and letting you all know that I'm not in a very good spot ATM. I really appreciate all the positive thoughts and vibes from all of you. It really means a lot and gives me the reinforcement I need. Nina's out of town up on business in Toronto, so I'm on my own here riding the storm out.
I'm flying though. Really enjoying "Doug's Hawaii" scenery and Hawaii Photoreal scenery. Wow that's a gorgeous package. I also bought Air Hauler 2 and I'm getting that set up and configured. Right now "Misty's Hawaii Cargo" is based at JHM on the island of Maui. I have a Carenado C185 Tundra variant that's my cargo hauler ATM. I couldn't figure out how to assign a job to a pilot I hired in AH2. So I fired them for now until I get some directions on that usage for AH2.
But that scenery!!! Oh my it's nice and a very welcome relaxation necessity for me right now. Taking a break from "Misty's" for the foreseeable future in Alaska and soaking up the sun in Hawaii!!
Thanks for letting me share my feeling and other random sedated thoughts with you!!
