Gallstones. Basically, I can't eat anything fatty, too spicy, dairy, animal protein is bad too, etc.. Or I can get a pain attack so bad, it is described to be worse than childbirth. And it can be fatal if the gallbladder raptures or if the pancreas gets infected.

5 attacks so far.

Legitimately is there a high success rate regarding a full recovery or is this basically a touch and go thing?

You, Sarcastic and I are the latenight lets go pens crew. It's all good and it kills time!
Starting next Monday I may be here more for a couple of weeks. Look what they're gonna do to me. It's gross.

Needless to say, I am scared out of my mind. And angry. The good Lord put the thing in me and it should stay in there.
I honestly and truly wish you a safe and speedy recovery. I don't know what all is wrong with your bladder but if it helps save your life or helps you live a more normal life then by all means get it done. I'll definitely keep positive thoughts and say a prayer for you.
After you get it done though you should be able to eat normally right?

Yes. That's what all the doctors and nurses and people who had it done tell me.

It is actually the most widely performed surgery in the US and relatively safe.

I'll be fine, I just never imagined myself getting anything like this done. Been 100% healthy all my life.

Safe. Success rate 99%.

Thats good to hear. You unfortunately suffer a bit now but the great news is you'll improve the quality of the comfort and of your life Significantly. Ofcourse we will still me missing Hossa. Sorry, had to throw that in.

I originally was experiencing acid reflux and thought that's all it was, but after being on meds for about a year, it was still happening, so they started poking around and doing all the tests. Everything else turns out is fine and it's been all caused by the gallstones. All my stomach problems... indigestion, constipation, intolerance to certain foods, etc..

Sarcastic · Post by **Sarcastic** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 1:41 am

OK, back to Hossa.

Idoit40fans · Post by **Idoit40fans** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 1:44 am

Well actually I have to add: Good luck with everything and have a quick and good(? that sounds wrong) recovery.

Idoit40fans · Post by **Idoit40fans** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 1:44 am

complete. thats what i was looking for. My location is in effect tonight, sorry.

Now, back to Hossa.

I had a medical issue and took care of it. I was glad I did and have felt much better since. It's best to get it done and stop the pain which I am glad to hear you are doing. My ailment wasnt as major as yours but was nagging nonetheless. Sort of like the nagging losing Hossa feeling I have.

OK - would you feel better about this whole thing if we somehow got Gaborik or J-Bo from Florida?

It would help yes. It also depends on the price though. We got Hossa for marginal players IMO.

Gaborik needs to pull something awesome off after this season and decide to play in Pittsburgh for around $5 million. Or Hossa could do the same...

Sarcastic · Post by **Sarcastic** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 1:53 am

You guys would take Hossa back after the season? I don't think I would... I wanna see him....... not do well this year, lol.

I don't think I'd take him back either. I just think he's a talent that will me missed here. If Gaborik came, I could live with that however.

I'd take Hossa back in a second. I don't need loyalty if he's willing to give everything he has while he is here.

Sarcastic · Post by **Sarcastic** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:00 am

You know what WOULD sting me, though? If Hossa takes $7m or so from the wings, long-term. It'd be like a girl dumping you for another guy or something.

The thing is if the Pens beat Detroit my guess would be he'd either have stayed or went to EDM for big money. For his talent I'd love to for him to be here. For the choice he made (which is understandable but from a Pen's perspective very regrettable) I wouldn't think RS wants him here. I 'd have to pass on him.

See, that's the thing. I'm not sure if a guy like this can be counted on to give all he's got. If he's not emotionally involved with the team, with the group of guys, etc.. He played great during the playoffs, but I wonder if it was all just about him. I don't know how to explain it. I want players who bleed black and gold, not just come here to collect a paycheck.

You should see the last few pages of the werewolf thread, its absurd.

Exactly. He stated that it was close between us and the wings. It's like taking the head Cheerleader over the girl right behind her, from our perspective, kind of hard to take..

I'll do tomorrow. I wanna go to sleep soon. I did read the first few pages of the first thread... weird. Not sure I get it...... kind of reminds me of a game some of my friends used to play.... this fantasy role playing game on chat. But not goofy, they were serious, with good writing skills and all.

+1

Maybe they even have one other friend. 3 girls and one guy sounds good.

The problem is though, it's an either or situation. You couldn't have both.
