Glad to hear things went well, thanks for sharing your obituary, I'm glad you're not dead.

So those drugs they gave you are still in your system, and if they gave you anything for pain, then so is that.

You feel like you could body surf or go for a run? Those drugs are why you think that.

Im guessing in about three more days you might feel quite crappy. Dont take it personally. But do try to sleep anywhere and everywhere. Sleep is the great healer.

And hydrate to flush out the meds.

Im a veteran of major surgeries, so am passing along my wisdom

Very happy you did not die. And loved the “just in case” FB post. Made me laugh.

Heal up! You have history to teach! ❤️‍🩹

"I'm not dead!" "I'm feeling better" "Think I'll go for a walk" - goddam it's like they fucking wrote this for you!

Well, if you were dead, all those signed copies would be shooting up in value. Just sayin'.

But in any case, very glad everything went well and you're still with us.

I was just cleaning my bird feeders and sending you good vibes. I must have ESPN or something.

Glad you’re okay. The world needs more cool fuckers like you 😘

Love the fact that you wrote your ‘wrap up’ but love it more that you didn’t have to let it run. Rest. Heal. Enjoy!

As much as I want a signed copy $141AUD is a bit more than I can afford, sadly. Get well soon!

Happy to hear you’re doing well!

If you’re looking for some recovery reading, may I suggest the Flashman series? Fictional tales of a complete scoundrel who manages to find himself in the midst of historical events such as the Charge of the Light Brigade and Custer’s Last Stand. Very entertaining and the footnotes are excellent.

Ordered a copy of the book. Glad you’re alive. I have something similar happening soon. If I don’t make it, I hope the fuck someone swears for me.
