Well,just when We All thought 'Ol Fred was once again going to Terrify his Septic System up on "The Hill",he has been thrown yet another Curve Ball.....Or,in this particular Case,maybe I should call it a "Curve Bowel" :sick: It seems this Poor,Nasty 'Ol Native Farmer can't catch a break on re-normalizing his once idled Lower GI System. After having more big-time discomfort start occurring,along with what you would expect-Normal Operations/Interrupted,he's been put into a different Hospital up in Syracuse this past Saturday. :stretcher: On the Good Side,his wonderful Daughter reports that the New Medical Facility has impressed 'Ol Fred. When was the last time we've heard anything like that from The 'Ol Hill-Monster? Seems they've already got his situation all Eyed Up and Tomorrow they're going to bring in the "Candid Camera Plumber" and his Bag Of Tricks to see if they can put an end to this Fine Gentleman's Suffering. My Humor Level can only go so far,and I have now exhausted it. Being Honest,this Poor Bastard's gone through a Hell of Alot. I'll Hope for All Of Us To Keep 'Ol Fred In Our Prayers,and I'll be asking The Old Man Upstairs,or The Creator,as Fred calls Him,to allow this Humble Native Farmer Son to get back to The Hill. As I understand it,this 'aint about not having eaten enough Salads,it's a Characteristic of ironing out The System after it's been altered and left to idle while the repairs upstream can heal. I've got every Faith & Humble Confidence that The 'Ol Boy will come through this Year-Ender for 2014 ! I've told You All Everything that I know. You know,I've never met him,but I Love 'Em,and feel like I've known him my entire Life.......Thanx to All Of You that have treated him the Same Way !.......Let's All Do This !!!...Coal Sure Does Funny Things For The Fine Folks Here :bighug:

We have been keeping FF in our thoughts & prayers, the wife having been a nurse told me back when we first heard that it was gonna be a long bumpy road at best. As you said a lot has to do with the healing & by-pass time the regular route kind of forgets what to do, maybe something like a can of medical STP to help everything slide along & run smooth, but there again I'm no doc. :shock:
Thanks for the up dates when ya got them HB. :up: :flush:

HB, thx for the update!!Yes, you are correct, in the fact that this ol boy has been through too much. Not much more we can do, but say another prayer. Hopefully the DOC'S will figure it out. God bless, to you & Fred!!

HB , that's not good news but thanks for sharing, we have been praying for FF but I guess it's time to pray harder so he can get over this yo-yo hospital/ bowel ordeal. Time for FF to be able to spend his time at his house,heal up & be ready to do the spring time chores again. :(

We are pulling for you Fred :!: 2015 will be your year for better health. God Bless you, and behave yourself with those nurses! There is a Toby Keith video where he got frisky with an ambulance EMT and she squeezed his IV tube and he passed out, don't go there.
