Friday. Dec.2nd midnight in Tenn.
Thanks for your kind words and Prayers , I made it
thru my herina surgery , realy painfull to walk or
laugh , cough etc ( Ha Ha ) I'll probably be out of
commmision tomarrow ( today ) more painfull I guess.
But today I can move around slowly ( like a old man
need a walking cane ) Ha Ha The stairs kinda give me a problem , wish me Luck !!!
My little wife Glenda had a rougher day than I did,
she had to set in waiting room at hospital for 5 hours then put up with me all day after that , thank
goodness for her , she's been waiting on me hand and foot all day. If it wasn't for her putting up with me
for 35 years and keeping me in line I would probably
have been a old drunk living on the street , holding my homeless sign begging for money !!! Some of us old
VietNam Vets arn't so lucky to find a good woman like
mine. God Bless Her.
Thanks again my Swift Brothers for your Prayers and support , this was my 1st surgery ,I rather have
went on patrol in the rivers at least I would have had
a better chance of not getting hurt !!! Keep me and Glenda in your thoughts and prayers I've still got to
recover without hurting myself again , No lifting over 5 pounds ( everything weighs over 5 pounds ) Ha Ha , my pet cat weighs 12 pounds ( Ha Ha )
Take care my Brothers and keep in touch , catch you later. Thanks Again !!

Good to hear you made it though alright Mickey. Before long you will be chasing your bride around the house again.

Hey Mickey, keep on mending! You and I have some tipping to do in a few weeks. Stop picking up the cat and don't be chasing your bride around yet either! Give her a break and you, take a rest!

See ya soon,
