so. Well. Anyway. Dave is having emergency surgery, probably Thursday. Which is his 45th birthday.  His transverse colon has herniated through his abdominal wall (3 inches of herniation (the hole) and a bunch of the colon) through one of the old scars. It's very serious shit. Pardon the pun. I'm hanging in there. The kids are okay. Everyone is a bit nervous and worried. They are going to 'gently' put the colon back in, and then insert a piece of mesh across the opening. They cannot stitch the herniation site as it is all scar tissue (most of his abdomen is scar tissue now :(......) and hope like heck it holds.

 

Prayers are welcome. I will post again when I have the chance. Haven't gotten any packing done yet. Will be doing the move solo.  Dave will be in hospital for about a week or so, then won't be able to do anything at all for a month.
