Howdy, Boys! I'm still in the hospital, but have managed to get online, and better yet am actually able to type and use the computer a little bit. My "overnight" stay is now three weeks, with no release date yet scheduled. For those who didn't know, i had my prostate removed on the 11th, but unexpected kidney problems arose, and it was nip and tuck for a couple weeks, with complications typical of renal failure... heart problems (got up to 188b/s), messed up electrolytes, fluid retention (about 50 pounds of retained fluids at the peak), dialysis. For my part I was totally wiped out and just hanging on. Today things are dramatically improved, I am recovering strength, some of my appetite has returned (no more diet restrictions), blood tests are normal and my energy is slowly returning. I won't be doing a lot online yet, but I took this chance to let you know things are looking up. The only reason I am still hear is an abdominal urine leak that they are trying to nudge closed without resorting to more surgery. My kids created a blog which contains more detail, if any of you are interested: tomdavenport.blogspot.com Love to all, thanks for your prayers and well wishes.
