Skiffinator...

Skiffin16

Just a quick update..., sorta..

I'm still hanging in there full of hope...

 

I had an abcess pop up, very slowly near one of the original drain sites... That was pretty painful.., got some antibiotics and pain meds for that, and it's on the mend.

Not much new on the leky hole as of yet...

I am scheduled to see my Gastro MD per my surgeon... The stint hat he ut in for the original surgery has moved in my stomach from horizontal, to vertical... So I guess they are going to do a somehwat Endoscopy and pull the stint out through my throat and mouth..., lovely.

Hoping that might help with some minor nausea and possibly source of the hole not healing...

Will keep you informed...

Thoughts and Prayers,

John

John my boy,

Thank you for the graphic update.

Tell me, what is more serious a leaky gut or a leaky boat?  Well I wish you have neither and hope clear skies are ahead.

Take care “Obie One Skiffin”,

DO THEY CALL THAT WIKILEAKS?

Sounds like a conspiracy to me, just wanted to say hey and glad you are hanging in there.  Diane has kept me up on your journey hear its been tough, but so are you.  Just letting you know you have been in our prayers (and your family).  So keep up the good work and keep the fish population under control.  Doug

I thought it was a new boat!  Glad some things were helped with meds.  Hopefully a little look see will take care of the rest.

Thanks for the update. You

Thanks for the update. You are in my thoughts and prayers often. Keep up the fight and keep your sense of humor. This withdraw from fish stories is getting troublesome so I need you out on the water soon. Praying the procedure goes well and this time solves the leak.

Well, well....HELLO JOHN!!!

Damn....this has been one long haul!!  Glad to know you are eating, and hoping that as far as eating goes, fish can be on your menu.  I'm thinking tho.....that "fishING" is on the menu for sure.....is it?

Sure have missed you around here.....so many new folks haven't gotten the benifits of all that you know, and your magical way of bucking us up in times of need.

Pull it out where

Will continue to pray for you everyday John, sorry I don’t like the sound of pulling something out of the throat. Whatever the doc does I pray he does it right and you heal fast.

Leaky hole

I'm in a flippant mood...been sat sitting in my recliner all afternoon just come to.  The Leky Hole sounds like a tourist destination a bit like The Windy Hollow or Hooky Hole. Seriously though sorry for your discomfort and get well soon or even sooner

Sounds like what goes in the stint

Sounds like what will be going in the stint will be coming out your mouth.  Maybe you should have them leave the end just inside your mouth so you can aim it at people discreately.

MORE STUFF

Hey John,

I'm sorry to hear that you have more stuff to deal with, as if you don't have enough already.  I'm glad that the abcess is mending, and hopefully the stint with the stint will have a happy ending.  Hang in there, and hopefully you'll be back out floundering sooner than later.

Stay strong for you and all of us!

You have been such an inspiration to me and others. You keep fighting. I want to fish with you in FL someday! You are a rockstar to so many on this board. Praying for you but I will just Say DO IT! You got this Skiffin!

Stay strong

sounds at least you have peaked from the worse, and it is getting easier going forward. You had a tough surgery, and you are one tough SOB.

Best
