Big 'ol write up
 

Well, I have a surgery tomorrow. Some of you know I complain here and there about bedrest, I've basically lived in a bed for the past 15 months due to complications with pressure sores. I can't feel when my butt gets sore so the constant sitting is a problem for me and many that are wheelchair bound.
So, tomorrow I get a little plastic surgery to close the extra hole in my butt. They will harvest tissue from my ass or thigh and fill in the whole. The fun part? 6 weeks of strict bedrest on my side in a hospital for recovery. During the recovery, I'm going to attempt to have my spine straightened. Due to not having core muscles my torso looks like it melted and fell to the side, which caused uneven pressure, and the resulting pressure sores which have plagued me for so long.
So, hopefully I can schedule a spinal surgery to cure the problem rather than addressing the symptoms. Kinda crazy, I'm hoping for back surgery.
I don't know how much I'll be online. I assume a lot less, but that's what I thought when my laptop died. Hopefully the hospital has wireless........

All the best
 

Here's hoping for a good outcome. I always say that surgery is like getting recued by a helicopter, it seems like a terrible idea until you need it and then it's the best thing in the world. Anyway, I wish you well.

Thanks. It's all "low tech" stuff as far as the surgeries go, It's the 6 week recovery that'll suck.

Good luck with it Harold. I know all of us here are wishing you the best with your surgery and recovery. And if you get the laptop/wireless working in the hospital, be sure and get a webcam pointed at the hot nurses!

good luck - hope everything goes well

I've got the perfect line too....... "I'm making a nurses gone wild video, got a wild side?"

I've been really curious about my son's future being wheelchair bound, and I think you're giving me some insight. As it is, he's small enough that we just don't let him sit in one position for too long. He has a few different types of chairs around the house to sit in, so we move him around a lot. Let's hope he doesn't grow too much!

Good luck, Harold! I hope your nurses are great to you and that the time goes by quicker than expected. You're in our prayers.

Good luck with all of that Harold. Hope the hospital has wireless, cause if not I will be missing your humor! Ok this is starting to sound like a Jerry2k1 post, but heres to a speedy recovery! (waving my glass of scotch wildly in the air!)

Or, as jj283 would put it " urrrh arrrgh pffft squeakzizzle, $%#@**, on top o things! (paraphrased, of course)

Little early in the morning for that? :lol:

wouldn't it be the luck that they give you a gay male nurse and he is just a little too enthusiastic about giving you your daily sponge bath.....:oh:

Good luck harold!

If it was somebody else I'd have doubts about the origins of the "extra hole in the ass" lol
I saw some chicks on Redtube who would prolly pay good money for one of those hahaaha

Here's to a successful surgury and internet access and hot nurses! Maybe you'll get one that will wanna watch the "nurse training videos" on RT on how to properly take care of their patients ;)

better get that hole closing surgury 1st! >_<

Best of luck! I can't wait for the NGW video. I'll miss your funny post if they don't have wi-fi.

Good luck Harold! I hope you get a hot babe for your nurse (unless of course you prefer the gay one) :lol:

It's 5:00 somewhere....:lol: ....and good luck on the surgery bro...:yes:

I always heard the term "its 4:20 somewhere" :intello:
A few dormmates back in college seemed to have clocks that were always stuck @ 4:20.....

Good luck Harold and hope all goes well! Really hope the hospital has wireless because if not you will be missed greatly on here.

Good luck Harold. Hope they have wireless!

I gave up on 4:20. I'll stick to the hot girl nurses.

Good luck man....hope all goes well for you...I will say a prayer for you

Nah, just left over from last night! Honestly I do not usually drink that early, but given the week I am having I could do with another...bottle!

Save some for Harold!

Good Luck man

Harold, you will be in my prayers. Hospital stays are no fun unless you get to have your eye candy (nurses and physical therapists seem to be better looking more and more these days, at least if the hospital in question is affiliated to a university) and a wireless connection. Hope lady luck will be on your side and God will look after you and help you keep your spirits up! As mentioned so many times before, you will be missed in your absence.

Good luck brother.

Here's hoping for something like this;

That last One :surprised:

You are in my prayers Harold. I used to be in a Corvette club whose charity was children with spina bifida I have seen many wheelchair bound people and wish you the best.

Mark

Harold, my thoughts and prayers are w/you for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Look forward to hearing from you when the surgeries are over!:yes:

You guys are awesome. Maybe Shaun will have that brushless wheelchair ready by the time I'm back home? That'd be fun!

I wish you the best there G-Money, I need that operation from sitting on the couch playing PS3 and watching Law and Order too much. Id say a prayer for you but I'm on Santas naughty list so instead Ill pour a 40oz on a dead homies grave and summon his gangsta mojo for you. Check ya on the flip side when you're back B-dawg. Assa lama lekkum

hey, psssst. u shouldn't use redtube. they give u viruses. use P**nHub instead:yes:

btw get well soon harold!

good luck hopefully they straighten the spine and have a speedy recovery......

Whats uuuuuuupppppp harold?
 

Sorry I just saw this thread and I probably missed out on a lot. James you nearly made me spit my Pepsi all over my new 26" PC-TV/monitor you funny bastard. Harold stop your whining because we all know this is just a way for you to take a vacation and get away from all of us here at RCM. I am sure that the nurses will be glad when your 6 weeks are up, because we know that you will be terrorizing them something aweful the whole time you are there. Too bad we cannot all get together and visit your room one afternoon. We could get Shaun to bring in one of his new world of wheelchair creations and make it do something like 60mph down the Hospital hallways and really give you something to complain about ya old fart. I can only imagine you will make the best of the situation Harold. Keep your chin up and your pecker in your pants you horney dog, or we will have to sart calling you "SnoopDog Harold" you PERV.

Get your Arse fixed up and get back to work on the CyberSuperMaxx truck so we can see some videos. We hope you get well and get back here quickly to take your place here next to lincpomp, since someone has to watch over him. God only knows what kind of problems he will cause with you on vacation. You know what a pain it is to keep him in his cage. I don't think I can heckle him all on my own you know. See you back here real soon. The place will be quiet without you. All the best from The Hill Family in Korea.

Good luck,Harold.

good luck bro
phil

we should find out where he is and send him some flowers or a boquet of wleels/tires or something r/c related!!!
we will be praying for you Harold!!
maybe your chassis will be ready when you get out?(fingers crossed)

Good luck with your butt harold :lol:.

Great idea.
 

Thats a great idea Matt. Is anyone up to the challenge of collecting and arranging the sentiment for us. Where is Shaun when you need him??? Hey TDC57 what ya doin out there good bubby? If anyone wants to take up a collection and make the arrangements I am in for sure. I would do it, but I am in Korea. Harold is a stand up guy and I think he deserves our support.

Good luck buddy, I hope everything goes smoothly. I feel your pain from my hip replacement when I was 12...

Good luck.
