    Rob,

    Give it time and be kind to yourself. Positive Chi and vibes sent your way. Had fun at PJ20 thinking of all the sights I saw that you would have found humor in. There were plenty! :lol:

    Go slow and take care.

    Peace.

    On a side note, I used to work at a boarding facility and standard poodles are fantastic dogs. They're loyal and very intelligent breeds.

    Well, I've been home for a week. I won't tell you it's been all peaches and cream. A colostomy is a BIG adjustment, both physically and mentally. I think the mental park is the worst. Anyway, I was pretty down when I first got home but my attitude has improved and I'm moving forward.

    Not really a lot to report...I'm still sore from the surgery but today may be the first day I don't take even one pain pill (we'll see). My abdomen is a little sore but what's really sore is my butt. I can't sit on a hard chair or drive, so I've been logging a lot of recliner time.

    I just need to figure out this damn bag and I'll be OK. I mean, it's weird and all, but what is really the big deal? At least the cancer is gone. I see my surgeon on Wednesday...we'll see what he has to say. Maybe he'll pull the stitches in my butt....that's going to be ticklish :shock: ! I think I'm healing OK...hopefully, the surgeon will concur.

    P.S. The Giants obviously care nothing about my mental well being! :(

    Rob, I hope you're feeling better soon! It sounds like you're over the most difficult phase and hopefully things are looking up for you every day! And I'll bet if the Giant's players knew what you're going through, they'd be pulling for you too!

    Hang in there!

    Hey Rob!

    As I get ready to leave tomorrow for my mini Canadian tour, I keep thinking about how you're doing and sending you positive Chi. By reading your last three posts, it seems to me you are doing remarkably well for what you've been through and will have to contend with. But I know you'll pull through and manage. Even if the Giants currently suck. Like my Red Sox. Sucking. However, like you, I've seen them win a World Series in my life time. Something I once thought impossible. Hang in there, try not to let it get you down and know there are a hell of a lot of peeps pulling for you!

    Looking forward to meeting some folks at the pre-parties in Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton (Shimmymommy, I'm buying you a beer!).

    I'll be thinking of you as I jam out Rob and I really hope you make it to Vancouver, ther's nothing like a Pearl Jam show to lift your spirits and chase your troubles away.

    Peace!
