Thanks, been flat on my back since the surgury.  The girls (Sammy, Sophie and Dutchess) are taking good care of me.

Hopefully I'll be back to work next week....Cliff

Cliff,I hope you get well soon & also the surgery isn't  anything major. Didn't realize you were having surgery. Kinda a Bumer for the holidays!  By the looks of the photo,looks like someone did plenty of chainsaw cutting. Good lookin group of dogs. Later Kelley

Yep, we cut a LOT of firewood here.  As you can see I have plenty of help too!  Feeling a lot better today........Cliff

Cliff,
We were on vacation last year in your neck of the woods and love that part of the country.  Sorry we couldn't stop by, but it was a family vacation and I got outvoted!!  Bummer!
I want to wish you a speedy and complete recovery.  I will keep you in my prayers. 
Merry Christmas!!

Hernia surgery is tuff.Three times,man,that's a bunch. My brother had the mesh put in to help spport, during his hernia surgery. I guess we're not as invicible as we were in our younger days. Jerking & lifting no matter what. I had a Micro-lamaectomy back surgery in 1991,that's was enough for me. It made me watch how I lifted & jerked things around. I try to keep the old gut in descent shape to help support the back. So far,knock on wood,I haven't been back,a wake up call. Makes me wonder how I survived the old Army basic training days. It's called ! Younger ! . Later Kelley

I'm still laid up a bit from the surgury, but feeling a LOT better.  Man it sux to get old.  I can do everything I could when I was 20, just takes 3 times as long to recover!......Cliff

Here is a tip for all, "never have hernia surgery the week before Christmas".  I know, I did.  Seeing the chainsaws in the picture reminds me of how I got mine.

It has been over a year and it still hurts, but so what!

Hope you feel better.
