44pinshooter checking in...............

44pinshooter
Been a few months since I checked in and have been feeling guilty about that, has been a long winter.
The kidney surgery keeps getting pushed back due to this going wrong or that med giving me side affects.
Been going round and round with a couple of the doctors on some of the meds making me sick. Now, this coming
Tuesday, I'm going in for carotid artery surgery on the left side of my neck. The doctors said it is 90+% clogged and
they won't due the kidney surgery until it is cleaned out.
So far, I've missed almost 12 weeks of work at the day job, about the same in the gunsmithing shop, all of hunting season, now
with the artery could be another 2 - 3 weeks off.
I am sorry for not checking in with you guys for so long. I could just blame it on my computer letting the magic smoke out and having
to get a new one, which I did have to get a new one, or I could just tell the truth, I just didn't want to talk about all my problems.
I'm tired of all the trips to doctors, tests and more tests, meds that make me so sick I can't function and that thing growing inside me
just pulled me down that I just didn't want to say anything to any one, on line or in person.

That ain't right and that ain't me.

You guys have always treated me fair and square. I have some friends that their support is unbelievable, a wife who is a blessing, 2 sons who said that because of all the meds, some of them the fancy blood thinners, say they will keep their knives handy with a propane touch and if the doctors can't stop the bleeding they will. A little sister, who because of our mother passing when she was 14, I finished raising her and she calls me "brother father", who is so freaked out about my health, she checks up on me almost every day and then I have Jesus. His love is the glue that is holding me together.
This whole mess has made me see many things different, one of which is just how strong His love is. Kind of let myself get too far off course and slide into a dark pit for awhile, but I'm on this side of the grass and I know, I will be here for some time to come.

Again guys, I'm sorry for not saying in touch.

    Hang tough, pinshooter. That artery, they fix that stuff every day. I know two guys who had that problem, they came out fine.
    You haven?t missed much on the forum. Just a couple of old women seeing who can pee the farthest.
