Re: Could use a little encouragement from the Army...

Things are coming along nicely. I developed an infection in the incision and had some minor complications from that (had to wear a wound vacuum, constant dressing changes, etc.). Still probably a couple of weeks away from going back to work. I have two holes in my abdomen from the infection, one about the size of a quarter and one the size of a silver dollar. Appetite is ok, I have a prescription for Marinol which seemed to help during chemo, though I don't really need it now. To my astonishment, I was told last week that I can drink beer again! :pop All in all, I'm doing well. I'm even going to brew a batch this weekend. I'm thinking a table strength saison sounds outstanding. Thanks again to everyone for your support and concerns! I know I say it all the time, but it really means the world to me. Keep the faith, brothas (and sistas)!
