So good to see your toothless blue avatar on here!! It is great that you and junior will be going home soon. Such good news!! Stay strong and don’t overdo things while you are healing. 😊 We are so glad to have you back here!! -Liza @john68 Happy healing to you, John; i’m sure you are looking forward to getting home. Glad to know you are still misbehaving; it keeps people on their toes! Colostomy 4/30/18. @john68 that's great John you just made my day , hopefully you'll be out in the fields again soon , and don't be putting any of that red diesel in your car now 🤣 There was a video doing the rounds recently where the customs down here attempted to dip an electric car for red/green diesel, can't find it but that's government for ya Be well and keep improving, I will be forever grateful for your support and advise . Hi John!! Are you back home yet? There is nothing better than sleeping in your own bed when you have been away for a while. And you have been away for a very long time. How are you feeling? Just wanted you to know we are all thinking about you!! -Liza Hi John, I’m just getting caught up after travelling for a couple of weeks. I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing better. Junior may be misbehaving, but I know you’ll whip him into shape. Take good care, and thanks for letting us know how you’re doing. Laurie Just a semicolon How are you doing John? I have not been on for a while and was thinking of you. @dlkfiretruck I lived on the island of Kodiak, Alaska for three years and got to see the red salmon return every year to spawn. It was an amazing sight! UC at age 18, 1981. Diagnosed at 20, proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy at age 23, 1986. @valerie Cool! I'm actually from there, used to live on Mission Road. Retired engineer, now goatherd @goatherder That's crazy! We were there 2003-2006 with the Coast Guard. I was so sad to leave. Loved every minute! UC at age 18, 1981. Diagnosed at 20, proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy at age 23, 1986. @veganostomy We did see the Northern Lights fairly often. We were south of mainland Alaska, so still had day/night cycles. In the summer the sun would set at midnight, rise around 4 a.m., in winter the sun would rise at 10 a.m. and set at 4 p.m. It rained alot. You just adapt. My kids played flashlight-mud soccer, lol. Having an ostomy there had its challenges- supply issues, hospitalization for blockage (thankful for small but good) hospital. UC at age 18, 1981. Diagnosed at 20, proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy at age 23, 1986. @valerie It was a much different place back in the 60's. Our home was right on the shipping channel. Out the back door to the house and 10 steps to water. They have since built a road all the way to the fishing docks. I managed to visit the island in 1995, just a single day before the house I grew up in was demolished! I was thrilled to have been able to see it one more time. Edit: I actually still do my banking with First National Bank Alaska right there in Kodiak, with the mounted Kodiak bear in the lobby! 😀 Retired engineer, now goatherd

I love the smell of coffee in the morning. It smells like .... victory.
