Thanku fellas... on a brighter note. Dropped the truck off at my trusty shop for some repairs, but also a lil face lift. Letting them have it for the month, but I will unveil the new look on 5/1/18.
Its these lil upgrades every once in a while that keep the truck fresh to me... rather than buying a new truck and having a ridiculous payment for the next 5 or 6 years....

No problem, can’t wait to see what you’ve done to it, the NBS Escalade is one of the best all around SUV’s ever made imo, I just threw new rims on mine looks like a whole new truck

I'm really sorry you have to go through what you're dealing with brother--BUT--You're still hear, talking about it. I noticed you were MIA for awhile. Glad you're back. Stay in good spirits. God willing, this'll just be a bad memory.

Yep, that's what I was remembering. I remembered your hip issue (couldn't remember details) and now this. Keep that head up, man!

Appreciate all the support and well wishes guys.
January 15th i had surgery to have my entire large intestine removed. Spent the next 5 weeks with a shit bag till my insides healed, then had to have an emergency reversal due to complications with the shit bag/stoma.
That reversal left me with a hole in my gut that could fit the girth of a red bull can. After another month with a wound vac i was all but healed.
At the end of March my dr had cleared me and lifted many of my restrictions, and I had planned on going back to work mid April...
Unfortunately on the 3rd or 4th i had to call 911 for an ambulance as i was in horrible pain... after lots of testing, turns out there was a perforation of my intestines and i had air and infection inside my body...
Here is the kicker... 9 days in the icu and hospital and none of the drs or my surgeons etc could find this perforation... no location and no reason as to why it happened... kinda leaves me in fear every minute of every day as I dont know what to avoid.
My surgeon assures me it was nothing i did that caused it and that i was an anomoly and hes never seen anything like this during this time frame... so now i pray ans keep my fingers crossed that every pain i feel is not it going all bad again, because the next time could kill me or put me under the knife again.
Im 41 years old... dont be like Popo... dont get old.
