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.

I'm glad that you are feeling better and have a sense of humor.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I'm glad your surgery went well John.
Hang in there and don't try to rush things along by getting too busy too soon. Good to hear from you.

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® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
