Best wishes brother.

Have they given you anything for pain?

I've been trying to be a tough guy and Tylenol is what I have had to this point. I'm getting kicked out of the hospital today and I think that I will make sure that they provide at least a Percocet bottle or something nefarious like that.

There's no place like home, Sacc. Just need to take it easy for a few days. NOT, due to your surgery, but to prepare for our season opener!!! Take care.

They should give you a script for something good. I was given a script for Hydrocodone last year and Oxycodone last month.

Jesus Christ ! Brain surgery on Friday and discharged on Sunday. You just didn't want to miss any games .

Are you sure they removed the tumor?

I would hate to think they actually took the brain and left the tumor, though I doubt that would make much difference in the IQ department.

Okay, just giving you shit, cause you're one of the better dumbasses around here.

:LOL:

Godspeed, Sac.

That's how it's done now. I had it on a Wednesday last month, and I was released the following Friday.

Milk being Milk. Well done, sir!!!

My brother was convinced that the meatwad was going to have a tooth and an eye. My twin that just stayed up there.

40 staples to the dome and some nice Steve Carrell patches on the chest from the ekg stickies. Holy hell! Jaw feels like it's broken and I am tired as hell, but at least I'm able to get some actual REM sleep which wasn't happening in the hospital.

You're a rock star and an inspiration Big Meatball. Just knowing that someone else just went through this shit helped a ton. And I appreciate all of you people. Like I said, this place is family and the heartfelt well wishes were very much appreciated.

Thank you all of you, and we got this shit this year.

2015 - Go Chiefs!

Glad you're on the mend, Sacc. Stay the course and get all healed up.

And for ****'s sake, tell us you finally gave in and got blown in the hospital.

Feel better, Broseph. Mitch Morse needs you!

I begged the nurses to shave my chest before they slapped those damned things on me, but they hemmed and hawed about it. I woke up with several more stuck to furry places. Damn it. I hope you're done with the worst of it and are well on the way to recovery. 40 staples... eesh. I had 10 and it was bad enough since they were on my gut.

40 staples? Holy shit. I only had 22 sutures this time. I had staples last time, I don't remember how many.

Thanks, Sac. Glad you're doing well. My jaw is sore up near my right ear. The incision runs right through where the 'hinge' is. I suppose that's normal.

Do you still have any inflammation near the incision?

Fortunately, I'm not too hairy on my chest, but my arms have plenty.

Taking the tape that secured the IVs were a bitch coming off.

Yeah, I'm super excited about having some noobie nurse with a pair of pliers yanking these staples out in a couple of weeks.

I don't feel like there is a lot of inflammation, but it's starting to itch a bit, and that's not a good thing.

I'm going to go with that I took a tire chain to the head while taking on a gang of Klan biker rapists.

You know what I really need? Another blow job. Where is that girl in my time of healing needs?

LOL Pliers. They have a special tool for that.

Got some in my tool box. Get well soon Sac.

Get well man, I mean it.

We need more threads about the OL. Not really but you can get well anyway.

Get well man, I mean it.

We need more threads about the OL. Not really but you can get well anyway.

**** man, hope it all went well. My grandmother had a mass on the left side of her brain about 20 years ago that was successfully operated on, and then had it come back about 2 months ago and had another operation.

She's at 100% already just 5 weeks after surgery.

Hang in there.

Man, I just found out that my post operative blow job has been tripping balls for the past two days eating pizza with "mushrooms" because she was worried about me.

What the **** is the world coming to? Isn't there any nice girls left out there who are willing to give dudes who have a frankenstein looking dome a hummer without having to get high as shit to do it?

**** me.

Don't feel too bad. I have stage IV liver cancer still and I can't even get so much as a flash out of sheer pity.

Hey Sac I thought of you when BYU completed that hail mary. Still bullshit but I hope you're feeling better

LOL Who changed your name to Mike Riley?

Have her NFL draft opinions improved since the surgeries? That's what we are really looking for with Saccappoo.

LMAO

Sorry I'm late to this, but glad to hear everything went well! Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and to hearing that you're cancer free!

I did lol

Ermafukingawd!

Just got the staples pulled out. All 42 of them. Amazingly enough, it was quick as shit, didn't bleed much and not really any discomfort.

The actual sutures where the brain and blood fluid drain tube was (and that was a freaky feeling getting that yanked out) were more of an issues than a bunch of metal staples.

Go figure.

However, I WANT TO ITCH THE ****ING STAPLE HOLES SO ****ING BAD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I would get one of these to prevent the itching

http://www.suprmchaos.com/0604-md-jesse-cone.jpg

LOL Technically, that would only prevent the scratching.

Hang in there Sacc!!! Can you put an ice cube or freeze bag on the area to kind of dull the itchiness? Actually, I have no idea how to treat this current issue, but several beers probably wouldn't hurt!

So, the cancer docs I met with yesterday gave me a real tasty shit burger to chew on:

Super fun rare type of tumor that, at worst, is a 1 to 4 year deal; at best about 10-ish with repeated chemo/radiation/removal.

Kinda weird going from what I was feeling/considering the best shape of my life to having 1 to 4 years left on the meter in about a week and a half.

Side note, grocery store crowds at 4:00 in the afternoon are really weird. That's a strange group of people.

Also, brain holes look better with staples.

The big, long raw pink scar line isn't a turn on to hot chicks as much as I'd hoped it would be. Kind makes you look like a tard who had some brain removed.

Man that sucks dude, prayers sent your way. Hope you beat it.

Glioblastoma?

Gliosomeshitoma.

Actually, let's see...Glioneuronal. (If I read that ****ers Orcish writing correctly.)

My wife's step mother was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and was given 12-18 months to live. She made it 28 years before it took her. No doctor anywhere can tell you with certainty what your expiration date is. Keep your chin up and keep chopping wood, and live life on YOUR terms, always.

Add that you got that injury saving a pack of newborn black labs that had somehow fallen down a storm drain.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of that.

Did they happen to tell you what chemo you'll get?

Some pill shit. After I heard the "1 to 4" comment, I kinda lost a lot of the remaining conversation.

LMAO You're not alone here.

I take advantage of it. I ride the battery operated carts at Walmart now. :D

Temodar? Temozolomide? Sound familiar?

I had that last year.

I hear ya, Dude. When the doctor told me and my wife that she had cervical cancer just weeks after giving birth, I don't remember a single word that was said for hours afterwards. From that point forward, I started recording the conversations with the docs.

Hang in there. Scientists are working every day to cure these mother****ing cancers.

You're too goddamned stubborn to die. There are 100's more shitty Utah drafts for you to compose and bludgeon our senses with.

God's not done with you yet. Chin up!

Not once has any doctor since last August given me a number as far as life expectancy is concerned. I haven't asked, either.

I've found that best case with Glioblastoma, is 15 years. And that is rare. Age does play a huge factor. I'll be 45 next month, so that helps a lot. 60+ and the prognosis is not good.

If I get 10 more years, I can deal with that because I'll at least get to see my son graduate college. :D

I was told in 1993 that I had a couple of years left and there was nothing more the doctors could do. Turns out, he was wrong. Stay positive until the end.

My aspirational goal back in 1993* was to outlive my dog (he died 10 years ago), to see my daughters graduate HS (the youngest is a freshman in college now), and to see the Chiefs win the SB. I'm worried that the Chiefs could finally do it. :)

* speaking of the Chiefs, I remember being in a hospital bed at the Mayo Clinic in 1994 waiting for a major surgery the next day, watching Joe Montana and the Chiefs lose to Buffalo in the playoffs. I never dreamed it would be over 20 years before they won another playoff game.

Blood transfusion from Dick Cheney?

o:-)

Satan blood. You know that shit has got major mojo powers. I wonder if I could get some of that shit?

LMAO

How do we know that you didn't die 20 years ago, and are now just a Zombie feeding on human flesh?

Damn! That looks a lot like a vegan menu! I'm in.

Although, I have binged on sweets the last couple of days. You know...cause it tastes good and like it's going to kill me...Harhar!

Imma' get some blueberries for my Friday night protein shake!

Well...heck. I don't know what to say, other than do whatever patteeu does since he seems to have it down.

Good luck to you, and we'll all hope for the best.

I'm not sure that's the best advice you could be giving. I'm doing something wrong or I'd be hanging out with all the stars like DaneMcCloud does. :)

Damn dude, sorry to hear.


Fight it all the way, docs don't always know.


They said my daughter would be lucky to live a week when she was born.


She is 14 now...

Interesting. Thanks for posting this. Funny thing is, I've been on a Dark Chocolate kick lately.

:clap::clap:

Shit man. That reminds me again that my problems are little league.

The doctors numbers are averages I believe. And we've all heard of the guy that got the news and died a week later. Those dudes drag down the average. And every passing day they get better at treatment. Keep your head up man.

All the best. Seriously.

I am sorry to see the bad news you got. Hopefully, the docs are wrong. They do try to "cheer" you up saying that new cures are always being researched and something may happen in the next year, but that is a pretty thin straw to grasp at. I've gotten the same one myself with the liver cancer cures on the horizon. Whatever happens, live well and live well as long as you can.

Like I've always said, this place is the best. Family away from family and has always allowed me a place to kind of sanctuary when I need to get away from real life.

Knowing that guys like BigMeatball, Lonewolf are going through the same kind of shit helps a ton.

Sacc, like BigMeatball and Lonewolf Ed, you're just gonna have to take it one step at a time. Who knows what wonderful advances will be made in the next 5-10 years. Just gotta hang in there and get through it all.

Just now came across this. Wishing the best for you, Sacc.

Hey man. I picked up a transient couple outside of Flagstaff and took them all the way to KC last weekend. The dude, Zack, was dying in 2 months. They were on their way to FL for their last chance to get ahead before he dies. Such a great trip. I've got a million stories and much more detail.

Oh, and he wants to fight an alligator before he goes.

Tough time saying goodbye to those guys. I didn't know what to say to him, and I said so and we hugged and I cried. Finally I told him to live it up. Been thinking of them every since. :'(

I love you Sacc. Fight the good fight.

Sorry to hear the prognosis wasn't more positive man. As others have said, all you can do is fight the good fight. As others have said, people beat the estimates all the time, and you can too.

Very cool, eDave. You are a good man.

Wow edave, props

Sacc, you've got this. Medicine is advancing at a breakneck pace in this field. Treatments and cures are changing and being found almost monthly.

And there's not a doctor alive who can tell any of us how long we'll live.

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to find the guy who invented the MRI machine and punch him right in the dick. Really hard.

Just got out of a four hour (literally, in the tube for four straight hours with one piss break mixed in) MRI marathon session due to insurance and scheduling conflicts.

You know what? It sucked.

So if I post anything mean or nasty to anyone tonight, it's not my intention to do so.

Sacc all the best and keep fightin your ass off.

If you really don't want an MRI, don't have one. They can't force you to have one against your will.

FOUR hours?? Crush some heads, man!

Oh, I know, but this was the first one post-op and they have to find out how much of the cancer cells are left after they pulled out the main meatwad mass. Also, as my tumor is a nerve cell based type, they need to find out if some of it has migrated into the spinal cord. (****ing awesome stuff apparently.)

Hard to do that without an MRI.

It was the fact that they shoved all four MRI's together for a single session because of scheduling due to ****ing insurance bullshit. Four hours in the tube was a chore.

With about 50 minutes left, I got a cramp in my right leg, my lower back was on fire from laying on that ****ing plastic slab for three hours and my nose started itching. And the beauty of it is, you can't move or you **** up the whole MRI and they have to restart. I was out of my ****ing mind by the end of it.

I had a biking accident in 2007 in which I tore an MCL and spent about 90 minutes in an MRI tube. I fell asleep.

I have a good friend that had breast cancer and a subsequent double mastectomy that spent nearly 3 hours, not once, but twice.

It sucks but hopefully that's the worst of it. Hang in there, Dude!
