very humorous Mike except for your situation. so transplant is out? so many things can go wrong when one is up in age(me? 76).

if I had the funds I would buy a small motor home and travel the USA. forget about keeping up my home

That's a leap worthy of a gold medal, Mike! Good talking with you, bro!

All our thoughts and prayers are with you on your procedure, buddy! I'm sure everyone here is pulling for you, and wishing a fast and pain-free recovery!

Just Cool bro

well done

Does not sound very pleasant at all my friend. Geez can't imagine the huge change in life. I like how you added in your character in this cat scan? Prayers are with you.

Stay Positive and test Negative.

Having a urostomy bag is by far better than the alternative, Having cancer in my whole body and getting my affairs in order.

Amazing !!

I think you have the best attitude possible and it will get you through this - prayers for your quick recovery!

In this particular case, it was STILL RIGGED! Bribe, uh cajole, someone to flip the votes!

Ahem. This is a change way out of left field. I pray for your speedy recovery!

My thoughts are with you!

You can annoy me lol...and yes you need to have a sense of humour in these situations... I had to google the Urostomy bag system so now you have my full support. From 20 yrs to today have had on going surgeries.. lol... eh laughing. I love the image by the way... that caught my eye.

Thank you for your interesting comment and well wishes.

Your imagery is outstanding!

I understand how such a life style change is daunting and depressing. Of course only you know the full impact as it is happening to you. Just know I am glad you will still be with us and you can annoy me all you like. hugs, prayers

I hope everything goes well, sending positive thoughts.

I'm sending you lots of love and support. While I can't relate to your exact situation, I can, and do, understand lifestyle changes. Stay strong and take one thing at a time. (((hugs)))

My prayers are with you, my friend. I had some troubling health problems this year too. I hope you'll find your way.

Anyway, the negative idea is brilliant. Well done.

Yeah this is a S^7T Sandwich but you know what? We are all wanting to see you turn this mess into a win. Fool the hell out of them and live a grand life. I know that sounds trite, but it's coming from someone who is still fooling the hell out of them. Anytime you want to talk to someone outside your orbit, I'm here.

Thanks, man! % days and counting. And then it is a new lifestyle for me.

live your best life.

Ich weiß wie es dir geht mein Mann hat auch sowas aber glaube mir das Leben geht weiter und auch du wirst freude daran wieder haben. Ich mag dein Bild es gefällt mir

Vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentare und Ihre Wünsche.

Some days, we need friends around us more than usual. We all go through hard times at one point and I have to admit that having so many super awesome friends here has helped immensely. Don't let the inescapable weight of the world rob you of your fun side and keep up the awesome work, my friend!

Merry Christmas, Mike! Cool image!

Hey, you can annoy me anytime, my friend. It's a rough gig, but you'll kick its ass. On the bright side, they say learning new skills is a key to keeping your brain healthy.

Seriously though, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace, my friend.

Cool! I'm going backwards in time taking a look.

You've got the right attitude! Keep smiling.

Fantastic artwork! I love this one. Great work!
