hey all

hey guys...just thought i would let you know about my recent trip to the hospital

2 wks ago i went into the emergency room with stomach pains that turned out to be a large hiatus hernia and an ulcer that herniated and punched a hole the size of a golf ball (or there abouts) in my stomach wall thereby pushing air into the rest of my body...i gotta say the pain that that causes is extreme and at that point i used some very colourful language (or so i have been told lol)
luckily it happened while i was at the hospital since i live so far out that if it happened at home then i probably would have been dead by the time the ambulance reached me

i was then rushed into surgery...spent the next 5 days in the intensive care unit then a further 8 days before they let me leave the hospital

in a way the experience has given me a new outlook on life and i'm more relaxed now than i was

hope that answers your question Ron

Peace, Love & Respect:)
