Ok first of all id like to say im sory for not being on line . Heres the story.
Thursday before memorial day i was finishing up a job. Twards the end of the job i got very weak and almost passed out. I managed to finish up the job and get home. I woke up that friday and decided to go to my stand and fill feeders and hunt. So i went there and did all i had to do and really stressed out my body. So after that i got into my stand for 5 hours and then went home.
That saturday i woke up and got back into my stand for 6 hours. At about the 4th hour i felt like i had to go to the bathroom but i decided to hold it in. Now for me thats not a good thing. So i sit in the stand for another hour and decide i had to run to the bathroom at the local hess. I ran out of the woods with a freakin gang of piglets chasing me thinking i was their father or something.. Oh well they turned around and i went to the hess.. Sat down and nothing. For me this is a deadly situation. So i still went back to my stand and was trying to stick the mama hog to bring to hogmans bday party. Luckly i didnt stick a hog.. ill tell you why in a minute.
So i fall to sleep in the stand ans wake up and its dark. I climb down and go home feeling very fatigue and in pain.
I go to the hospital on saturday night and they only give me meds and send me home. I tell the doc "look man i need a catscan, i have colitis and divertivulitis and know somethings wrong" i had a 103 fever and they just gave me meds and asked me if i wanted to stay in and i said no forget it ill go home cause my daughters baptism is on sunday and i cant miss that..
So sunday comes and we baptise my daughter. i still feel crappy but a little better with the meds they gave me. So i go to the bathroom sit down and do the deed, Then stand up and i feel a huge RIP inside my stomach. When that happens i feel my intestines move to the left and i almost faint. I dont ask any questions, i just jump in my car with one hand holding my intestines and the other on the steering wheel..
Well to make a long story short. I had emergency sergury. Turns out that my colon had busted wide open and i was in critical condition. They took me into emergency sergury and cut me open and cut out the destroyed part of my colon. I woke up on monday in ICU with a colostomy bag and alot of other stuff stuck in me. I stayed in the hospital for a week. The doc said "if you didnt come to the hospital when you did you would of died". I also got ecoli from the colon busting. But they are treating that and its not a worry.
Right now im at home and i had my staples taked out from the surgery yesterday. Im still on a colostomy bag (which is no picnic let me tell you).
I finally was able to sit at my pc to post thats why it took me so long to post. With the staples in my stonach i could only lay down. But im feeling better now and the only thing is getting put back together.
I have my 2nd sergury scheduled for july 21st.!! This is when they will put me all back together and i will be normal again (if you know what i mean). Then ill be in the hospital for a week and recover for a week at home then its back in the woods!..
Now like i had previously said im lucky i didnt kill a hog that saturday because if i had i would lf dragged it out and loaded it up and then took it to hogmans party and probably would of passed out and from the pressure of dragging that hog. So the doc said im lucky i didnt put any extra stress on my abdomin that saturday or i would of passed out in the woods and it would of been serious.
thats pretty much it. For now i just stay home and stay in the house and count down the days till the next sergury.

there no need to say sorry you have to take care of yourself. if you need anything let me know I can drive now. Glad to hear you will be ok
man, thats scary. glad to hear you are doing better and hopefully the doc does a bang up job on your next surgery. my friends dad last year had a ruptured colon and he went thru similar times. we are all hoping you have a speedy recovery, and if you need anything, dont hesitate to ask.
Get yer ass better. We got hogs to kill and people to screw with. I can't do it by myself 😉 😉 😉
THX all! Yes it was a ruptured colon.
And Allen I see " operation Charlie garden roundup" in the makings!
