My dog had one eye removed last week and didn’t even need to wear a cone, so hoping you don’t either GB. Good vibes and best wishes for a quick recovery!

If SLB has to wear a cone, I expect pictures. But I reckon he'll just have an eye shield. That's what I got for my eye surgeries. They are surprisingly comfortable.
 
The surgeries a week ago Tuesday went well! Not only do I have a cancer that has never been observed worldwide, but the location of the tumor is so unique that my case was described as a once-in-a-lifetime teaching experience. That doesn't sound great right?! LOL ;)

Like the stock market, sometimes bad is good and good is bad. In this case, it was certainly good! I had about a dozen world class surgeons in the OR observing and helping patch me up. Ug, I know, please no more puns Bob!!

I was also very fortunate to have first class RN's look after me in the ICU during my time in the OR. There was one exception. That was Thursday evening and after meeting the new RN for the next 12 hours, my wife Patty, who slept overnights with me, instacalled telling me one nurse gave her the vibe she didn't know what she was doing. Ironically, she had years of experience and wasn't "newly minted" (my wife's term) like the rest of the nurses. We later learned she is a travel nurse filling in for someone that called in sick.

Patty, aka, Pep, had to help her with a few things but was doing her best to stay out of the way. Pep was sleeping when she was draining the bulbs coming out of left leg which tendons were cut out of to fill the orbital cavity, and didn't drain and seal them properly. Because of this, I had a massive hematoma in my upper left thigh. Again, so lucky to have so many surgeons involved as I was checked and checked again all day and night by surgeons. Even on drugs, it was painful, like having Charley horse the size of cantaloupe. It was discovered immediately by one of the surgeons. As luck would have it, there was another surgery that just canceled so the OR, anesthesia, instruments, etc., was set up. The universe provides! They rushed me in to re-open my leg and clean me out. All good!

During a shift change that evening, the new nurse, Katie, was briefed by Sydney, the current nurse, about my case. Katie remarked that I must have been freaking out. Sydney told her I was the calmest person in the room. Communicating that to all of you because it’s YOU that gives me this strength!

Here’s a funny moment from early Saturday morning: around 2am, I needed to use the restroom and hit the call button for Katie to unhook me from the monitors. As I sat on the edge of the bed, gravity did its thing and a heck of a lot of blood burst through the gaps in incisions. It looked like a crime scene. Katie yells “I need a nurse!!” waking Pep up and summoning a dozen newly minted female RN’s to my room. Katie is trying to stop the blood, so my gown is hiked up and nothing left to the imagination. My blood pressure cuff was still hooked up and registered a 110/71. It didn’t bother me at all. Plus, the ear-to-ear smile on Pep’s face made me appreciate her, how well she knows me, but I’m sure didn’t want to know exactly what was going through my mind. 😉


I was released from the hospital on Sunday and arrived home early afternoon. I've slept almost the entire time since. If you have ever been in the ICU, you know, it's not a place to rest. I promise I will be going back to bed soon and rest for the next 4-5 weeks to heal up so that phases 2-3 can be started. Everyone has been so supportive; I’ve felt it difficult to check out without giving you an update. The love, my God, the love. I wish everyone could experience what this support feels like from all of you. I promise I will be back in bed resting soon.

Love you all!

You da man brother. Keep kicking that ***. I don’t remember if I have your phone number. But I’m curious. If you send bloody dong pics, I’ll pass them on to my wife. I know you’d want that. Love you brother.
 
When I had my cardiac ablation last year, my charge nurse was an absolute smoke show and they go in through the groin so there was more attention than normal in that area. My wife was just looking at me, shaking her head the whole time fabulous.

After I came out of surgery, I found out she was going to Paris and was flirting with her in the worst French ever. good times

ETA: the final “test” before I left the hospital was to walk the bathroom, use it and not have any leakage from the plug in my groin. It leaked slightly. So Bree 🥰 was applying pressure on it by basically putting all her weight on the plug. My junk was out for all to see. My wife walked in at this point. I told her “nothing to see here”. :lmao:

So, with Halloween coming up, I've created a top 5 list of famous people with eye patches that Bob can dress up as on Oct. 31. Drumroll please.......



#5. Alex Cutter from "Cutter's Way". Alex Cutter is a Vietnam veteran portrayed by John Heard in the movie Cutter's Way, one of the greatest neo-noir ever made. Cutter is a complex and deep character who is tormented by his experiences in the war, which left him permanently injured in his eye and arm. Struggling to leave behind his troubled past, he drinks heavily and has developed a mistrust for authority.

You know what, maybe this should be number one after reading the bolded. ;)

#4. Ragetti from "Pirates of the Caribbean". Ragetti is a distinctive character within the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise portrayed by Mackenzie Crook, recognized for his eccentric appearance and humorous nature. He is a member of Captain Jack Sparrow's crew serving as a lookout, while also functioning as the occasional source of comic relief. He is also shown to possess a good amount of courage, particularly in combat situations, and, despite conjuring with Barbossa to mutiny against Jack Sparrow, Ragetti's loyalty towards Johnny Depp's character grows in time.

I mean.....comic relief? who has provided more comic relief in the FFA than our buddy Bob? Nobody.

#3. Emilio Largo from James Bond "Thunderball" (where's this one rank, @Capella ?) - Emilio Largo is a villainous character from the James Bond film Thunderball, portrayed by Adolfo Celi. Largo is a wealthy businessman and a high-ranking member of the international criminal organization known as SPECTRE. He is known for his ruthless demeanor, strategic mind, and penchant for violence. Largo is the primary antagonist in the film, and his plan involves stealing two nuclear warheads and demanding a ransom of 100 million pounds from NATO.

Look, we all know Bob as the loveable, kind, compassionate, caring friend to all of us, but don't let that get in the way of one of the toughest dudes this board has ever seen. Guy mixed it up *A LOT* in his younger days and rumor has it also his not so younger days. He already whipped cancer's butt once, not sure why it wanted a second bout but here we are. Get it, Largo!

#2. Rooster Cogburn from "True Grit" - Jeff Bridges is behind the role of Rooster Cogburn in the 2010 remake of True Grit, originally featuring John Wayne. The movie is based on the homonymous novel by Charles Portis. Bridges's portrayal perfectly captures the essence of the character's ruggedness; in fact, Cogburn is a U.S. Marshal known for his ability to catch criminals and his trigger-happy mentality. At the same time, he struggles with alcoholism and a dark past.

The beautiful thing about this costume idea is that Bob has a Fielder's Choice! He can go as Rooster Cogburn the Jeff Bridges way or....or he can go as the Duke, John Wayne! Men love options!


And finally.....

#1 Snake Plissken from "Escape from New York" - Snake Plissken is the quintessential eye-patched character, and his iconic appearance has become legendary. Appearing in Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. and being portrayed by Kurt Russell, Snake is known for his tough and cynical mentality. In John Carpenter's cinematic universe, Plissken was a Special Forces operator and a veteran of World War III, prior to making a living as a professional criminal. Since the release of the first Escape, this cult character has been revered by many fans.

The audience is left in the dark about the actual circumstances that led Snake Plissken to lose his eye. It will be revealed later in the novelization of the character that he lost his eye during World War III. The unknown origin of the character's trademark eye patch is fundamental for intensifying his mysterious aura and rebellious attitude.


Bonus ideas for Pep include: Elle Driver from Kill Bill and Luz from Machete.

It's always cool when the doctor calls everyone over and tells them that they will hardly ever see this. Makes you feel "special".

Glad to hear you are on the mend.

Give Mrs Bob a careful hug from me. She's a star!

Wednesday morning a RNA asked me if I wanted to be cleaned up. Yes I did. Badly. Plus she was gorgeous.

Pep was getting food from the cafeteria.

She's wiping down while the RN changed my bedding. Pep returns from the cafeteria as the CNA is thoughly cleaning my boy parts. I didn't expect this to be an option but appreciative nonetheless. Pep offered to take over but CNA declined and finished cleaning me.

After my bath, I'm putting my gown back on and declare to my wife and the other two women in the room how I've told her for tears how it takes at least three women to take care of me. Thankfully they all laughed hysterically.

Love how our hero ignored the rushing blood and proudly displayed his junk to the nursing staff! Seriously - you are an unbelievable inspiration to us all, Bob. Your fight and attitude are unreal. Glad you are on the mend amigo

:lmao: I didn't expose myself. The RN in charge did that for me. There's a gash on my upper left thigh to my knee. They took tendons out to stuff in my orbital cavity.

Thanks Bob for the gift of perspective. I had a bad day and was feeling a little sorry for myself. I read your update and my troubles all seem petty now in comparison. I will strive to deal with the challenges in my life as you have.

It's a tall order, but I'm going to try my best.
Stay strong.

Hang in there my brother. PMs always open if you need someone to talk to.

Now I have an image of tendons just waving from an empty eye socket. Kind of like John Carpenter's The Thing.

Love you Bob! Get some well-deserved rest, GB.

Dude got bitten by a copperhead, killed it, put it in a brown paper bag and took it with him to the hospital. This is Chuck Norris level brave and bad.

Nah. He was bit by a shark, dragged it all the way from the beach to the hospital and is planning to go surfing tomorrow.
Chuck Norris stays far away when Bob is around.

It’s 8 in the morning and I’m laying in bed sobbing over a one eyed, cat shirt bandit that I’ve never actually met.

Face looks normal to me. Your leg however, wtf did they use, those scissors that are jagged to make crinkle cuts!?!

Wishing you the best!
