Dude, where's my arm?

This is gonna be short. I'm so wacked out on pain meds that I have to close one eye and wear my mom's glasses to see the screen. That took 5 minutes to write that.

s urgery weny well, it took 5 hours to take out most of the muscles in my forearm, the radial artery and the median nerve ///9which is about the size of a pencil. I'm doing OK, in a litte pain, but in good company with the fam and a few visitors already.

I'll get more down tomorrow when I can see and my brain is functioning at a level higher than an end table.

Everything is planned to go down as describedd earkier in prevous posts.

I put spme pics under "triton photos." you'll see the large black sponge of the wound vac and a rather large void in my arm. heads up....

Thanks for all you love, prayers, and support.

CP

time for mac and chees! over and out

Clyde,

You're definitely going to have the coolest scars to show off to your kids one day! I'm glad to hear you've got the best apples from the best tree in the best orchard on the best farm in the world working for you!

Thinking about you,
Susanna

P.S. Happy Belated 30th to Ashley!

CP,

Leigh Ann and I send our love and prayers. We're also sending flowers even though that's sort of gay. The florist had no "beer bouquets." Once you're out of the hospital and well on your way to a full recovery I see a joint venture project in the previously untapped "beer bouquet" market. Untapped. Sorry.

Get better buddy. We'll be over to visit as soon as you're up for it.

We love you big man.

OK. I see it now. A new super hero comic book, starring yours truely, CP. Openings that show off the "inner depths" of your anatomy and tubes with radiation seeds. And enough meds to make you not know who you really are. Sounds omenus. I will be waiting for publication. Already have the picture. Love you both. Margaret and Al
