RD you are funny... i am telling everyone bout my gas.

Enjoyed your video! Brought back so many memories of almost 7 weeks ago!! Seems like it was a lifetime ago!
You're doing great!! Congrats! And your girlfriend is such a sweetheart to be there for you -- I know how much that helps!
Take your time to heal -- no heroics ! Follow your doctor's plan and all will go well!

man, my gas didn't leave until a week out!!

lol

Brother Mikey, shake off the dilaudid fog, long enough to understand the true meaning of "never trust a fart," the Loser's war cry!

After the gas, unexpectedly, comes the bizarre discharge and reconstruction of expulsion from your innards. The gas will be a prelude, with a sneaky bastard expulsion to follow, with lightning speed.

In other words, expect a major bowel episode after each passing of gas for the first month. Always keep towels where you sit and lie, never go commando, and carry one or two changes of pants when you go out...

Forewarned is forearmed! lol

Congratz on your million $$ Toot. LOL. Loved the Youtube update. you are one brave and determined cookie.. So glad that your lovely support team (she's sweet) is there by your side. That's what probably makes the difference. Keep those updates coming, and God bless you with a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. Look out Loser's bench, Here comes Mikey. :)

Congratulations Mike! I'm so glad you updated on here!! Don't forget to keep moving!!! God bless,
Quilter At Heart

Congratulations, Mike! I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. :) You and your girlfriend look so sweet together. I'll be keeping any eye out for you, darlin'. Good luck! This is just the beginning. :)

Geez Mike , Go easy on that gassey stuff, or someone might say you are contributing to "Global Warming"lol. Glad it moved for you though gas pains are not fun. Oh yeah, get used to moving the gas from now on. It will come without much notice with some real pungent telltale aromas if you get my drift. I have on hand "Gas-Ex" or "Beano" for self defense. Glad to here you are up and about too. That'll help that gas along, and so will warm tea.I hope you saw my text message on your phone sometime today. I sent it late last night.I ended it with my MsDebutante name on their so you would know who sent it.When do you get to go home? Listen to your body for when you feel tired and don't challenge it. You will get back your strength in good time. Rest all you can. Get Better Mike.

Ok just a followup on my first post on here. I didn't look at the video first, so I see you are still in the hospital. Do you know how long you will have to stay? I know it depends on your progress too. Your girlfriend is cute and very caring. You really need a good support person like her to get you through all of this Mike. Remember this come Valentine's Day-lol. Yes the first month is critical as you said, but the Dr. and medical staff know this too. Just keep tabs on anything that doesn't seem right to you and tell them. Let them tell you if it is something normal or not. Hang tough Mike you will get past this rough part. Then the learning process begins.

I was so proud when I finally passed some of that gas.. posted it on Facebook... too bad no one could find a hallmark card for that.

Hi Mike, just saw the video! Great video!
Get well and up and around very soon.
My thoughts are with you.
