Hospital early release

After three days surgery and recovery I got back home.
Doctors did a good job reconnecting the colon to the
rectum.
Everything hurts right now but that's because I have
no pain meds.
The procedure leaves a large open hole next to my
belly button where the stoma was.
I had become fond of that shitty thing sticking out.

The worst should be over now as the colon has to relearn it's job.

So many old adages about colon

Had someone say "I'll cut you a new one", or "you are a bag of shit"?

Well they did and I am.
Three weeks of starvation and giving blood vials has earned me a Stoma.
Do not look that up.
Well thru the Summer I will deal with a hole in my stomach,
the result of Diverticulitis.
Thankfully it doesn't appear to be a life long affliction.

This is the result of bag after bag of mixed nuts non stop.
They got stuck in the gut.
Surprisingly there are many others like me wearing an Ostomy.

Does anyone know how a seven foot fence is considered unscalable.

As a kid I think I could have gone over at a single bound.

Don't know if this is appropriate or not, but I want it known.

This is the man that loaded the buses to travel to the Capital today.
I want others to know who he is and what he is.

These just came in the mail.

I think they are from Chinna. Must give them to Trumpers.

Steve Gibson offers this little diagnostic.

For older cpu's like mine, susceptible to Spectre and Meltdown.
It's Inspectre,

I have no bios or intel remedy for Spectre but at least I know.
