Just letting you guys know that I'm back from the hospital. My surgery went very well and I'm now recovering at home with 31 staples in my abdomen and a stack of morphine pills. The problem with mophine is, its great for pain relief but causes constipation. I went 8 days w/o a single bowel movement, and my intestines felt they were going to burst. I tried everything from off the shelf laxatives, metamucil, stewed prunes, prescription laxatives; nothing worked. So I figured I was trying to solve the problem from the wrong end. Yesterday, my wife gave me an enema. Who ever said an enema is painless, clearly never had one before. Anyway it did the trick (the hounds have been released!). Talk about being violated. Now I know what it must be like being a pretty boy in prison. On a lighter note, I finally tamed my brand new PC, I've got Bryce loaded and I'm ready go. Eeeehaaa! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers, they worked. Curtis
