My sincere apologies to all.

Yes it is I. Arising from the dead or at least so it feels.

After my initial operation on August 28, a weeks worth of hospital stay, and feeling actually quit good, I was released to my home, whereupon after about 36 hours I returned because of abdominal pain. My doctor asked me to come back that evening for a CT-scan after which he himself wheeled me back up to the surgical floor and into a hospital room where I would remain for the next two weeks on heavy antibiotics, intravenous pain medication, and no food. I remained that way for 8 days and was then allowed a liquid food diet. My appetite and taste buds were dead from the pain meds and the following week I was finally fed through a tube. All this to allow my bowels to heal, as I was suffering from a leak in my Colin into my abdomen. The antibiotics did manage to over come the leaky mess into my abdomen and my white blood count eventually returned to normal.

The interval between my first release home and subsequent return to the hospital is when I made an encouraging entry on Thunder’s. I fully expected to carry on with normal business activities but had no chance when the doctor sequestered me.

I tried to make contact with the forum on my son’s laptop while incarcerated in the hospital but the hospital WIFI server blocked Thunder’s website so that didn’t work.

I’ve spent many days here at home trying to get rid of my foggy head and gain energy enough to tackle the overwhelming correspondence from my customers.

My PayPal account has been blocked due to an individual who filed a claim because of lack of delivery of product. I don’t blame him. He sent money the day I went to surgery on Aug 28th, and had no response from me. I have sent his product and hope PayPal will release my account soon. This will not hamper any moneys sent now or orders placed. They will all be honored as usual.

Inventories of product are ample to supply all requests except Rings which may be delayed due to manufacturing process time.

Again I apologize for the great deal of time without responding to you. I’m sure it will take some days to catch up but catch up I will.

Hey Bro just get well:)

Glad you’re back up on your feet Monty. :up: :up:

Good to hear from you Monty. Health first, business second. Get back on your feet before you start worrying about answering emails. The guys understand and will wait. The good ones will anyway.

Get well soon.

I’m sorry to hear about your medical ordeal. I wish you a speedy continued recovery.

Health comes first bro. :up:

Monty— I had no idea— I emailed you a couple of times, but don’t worry about the requests until you’re well (I just ordered some hose-clamps on ebay, so I’m good).

That’s a real horror story. I really wish you a speedy recovery.

Sounds like a horrible experience, Monty. Hope you make a full and speedy recovery!
