Im home recovering from surgery. Now to take each challange as they come one at atime and there are many. I'm feeling pretty could so I'll ell you 2 stories. Hope they are taken in the spirit they are being told.
1. My Dr.had to perform a second surgery. I adked him if there was some operator error or if the DeVinci Robot needed a patch.
2.While heavely sedated ,strapped to the bed and on a ventilator I managed a Houdini maneuver and extubated myself from the ventilator. I have no reclection.The hospital report says"patient self extubated and is doing well".My twisted brain wants to send him a bill just as a joke. I won't. In hind sight he laughed guite stronly and send there are some people this story will be mentioned. Could be bad for the ICU Rn in charge of my care.

Notes,
Thanks. Yes I am very positive, see the funny side of things and have to laugh. Dealing with things as if i was a new baby. Diapers, rubber pants over and clothes.
We've all seen the comercial of the baby crying at 3am and the one not. Finding products for we big babies is available you just have to look. Use your resources. In this Forum is a wonderful resource that has been a tremendous help and encouragement. Thanks my friend.

I ended up back in the hospital for another week. When I got home in the middle of the night on like the third day Ice fight a severe fever. I got up out of bed at around 3 a.m. to change my diaper and was totally dizzy and fell forward. I grabbed hold of the dresser to stable myself but fell backwards and pulled the dresser down on top of me. That and drove my head into my nightstand and knocked me out. When I finally woke up I had no idea where I was everything felt totally foreign so I just started kicking on the walls of wherever I want to try to Rouse my wife. She found me laying in the shower. As it ends up I had a nasty urinary tract infection that the hospital could not nail down. They finally called in Center for Disease Control to do a 72-hour cultivation of both my blood in my urine. That told me that told them what I had for a bug going on and they gave me intravenous antibiotics that were totally different from what I had been getting nothing was working. The stuff they gave me it says on the package is for use for Anthrax exposure and also for the plague. It must have been a nasty one. I feel great now except for the fact that I'm 100% incontinent and that's challenge to deal with on a day-to-day basis other than that I'm moving alone don't see my doctors for another 3 months except for the oncologist who I'll see next week he's a guy that will give me my final medication so things are progressing doing okay for an old guy.

NO need to answer this question publicly but did they cath you? Please I really don't want to know. But a side effect for some guys is they cannot urinate as before. It will go away with time and you will be back to your usual self.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
