First off I'd like to thank everyone. I was discharged to day and boy is it good to be home. I'm on some pretty heavy restrictions so knife making isn't going to start till after Christmas and then maybe even longer. That's going to be a hard one. One thing that I can't understand is I weighed myself the morning of surgery. The last solid meal I had was 1 week ago. Then it was a liquid diet up till surgery day Wednesday, after surgery it was water only till Friday, Friday back on a liquid diet, Liquid diet was up to discharge today. So one of the first things I did was jump on the scale figuring I be down on some weight. I weighed the exact same as the day I went in, go figure. I'm on an unrestricted diet but need to work into it slowly, you wouldn't believe how good a can of chicken noodle soup a ritz cracker tasted today for lunch. I have a catheter and will have to have that for at least 2 weeks. Only advantage to that is I won't have to get out of bed at night to pee. So again thank you everyone for your prayers.

That's great to hear you are out of the hospital and on the mend. I bet you'll come up with a few new knife ideas while you take a temporary break from actually building the knives.

My Doc called today with the results from the samples taken from the lymph nodes samples. Cancer was contained to the prostrate and none present under microscopic study of the lymph node samples. He was concerned that it may have spread because of its advance condition. I'm given a clean bill of health but do have to back for a follow up in March. I'm still under very heavy restrictions and have missed one gun show because of it. I've another coming up in the end of December, I'm hoping I can get a little more inventory built up and be able to attend that one. While sitting around doing nothing I've got lots of different idea I want to incorporate into a build.

My restrictions are killing me, well let me explain. No lifting, no repetitive motions can't do much of anything but walk. So I've been spending lots of time on the web and you tube. Then I see this thingamajig and think I can use one of those or I don't have one of them or I bet I can use that. Then it's Amazon here I come a shopping. So the sooner I can get back to doing something the less time I'll have to shop. Granted a everything I have bought will make knife making easier or a way to improve.

I have that problem if I don’t keep busy and there is food around the house.

Yesterday staples came out, I think there was like 40, catheter also came out. Still have some fairly heavy restrictions for the next 2 weeks. But at least I can get out to the garage a do some knifing as long as I don't over do it.

That’s a lot of staples, holy smokes.
Take it easy, you have plenty of time to catch up on things when you are healed up.
