Update on medical condition
Some readers have asked for one, so here's the short version--
Here is what I had.
Here is the procedure that dealt with it. The version with all the trimmings, orthotopic diversion, lymph node removal.
Pathology report says they got it all. Lymph nodes (they took 25 of them) were clear (if it gets out, the lymph system is usually its first avenue of spread).
It's been over two months since the op, and I'm mostly recovered. Still a little lacking in energy and concentration, but the body is in good order, apart from bellyaches (the intestines are still resentful of having had a stretch of them cut away). I've got a hefty 8" scar running from navel down to pubis, so I'm just glad I never had a chance as a swimsuit model anyway,

But can you still get a boner?
Although the incisions heal rapidly, it can take up to a year before everything settles back into some form of equilibrium. Good luck.
OBTW; if your doctor prescribes physical therapy, do it. Even half hearted effort does wonders.
GREAT to hear you're recovering! Excellent!
Happy to hear that you are doing well and hope you are able to return to full mental and physical strength soon.
Will you be able to attend the Gun Rights Policy Conference in St. Louis? If so, looking forward to seeing you there.
Great news ... excellent.
Hang in there, counselor.
Praying for the best outcome, and full recovery.
Thanks for the update, will continue to think good thoughts for you.
Thanks for the update. I hope things continue to improve. God bless.
God bless you
Come on, Dave, post the photo of your scar! Seriously, the pro-RKBA community is breathing a sigh of relief to hear that you are mainly recovered, and the anti's must be mad as h*ll to hear about your quick recovery.
Thank God you made it through, Dave! It's time to give this administration a good "end-of-life counseling" session!
Glad to hear you're doing well Dave!
These days I check your blog as much to see how you're doing as to see what's new... figure more posts = better health.
Glad to see you posting a bit more, and hope you heal well and get to do all the things you want to do.

Continued best wishes, David, for a rapid and complete recovery, and a quick return to everything you enjoy doing.
