Guys and gals, sorry I have been 100% absent as of late. My wife went in the ER labor day with abdominal pain.
She was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones.
Long story short, she ended up having her gallbladder removed.
10 days in the hospital kicked her butt. She is now home resting comfortably and getting better.
I took a two week leave from work and stayed with her and pretty much unplugged from the interwebs.

I am back now tho [:Y:]

Lance

Brother I know what that is like, having gone through the major health crisis of my wife's last year. More power to you for taking the time off to do what you needed to do.
You guys are in our thoughts and prayers!

My wife had her gallbladder removed several years ago as well. While she was in the hospital my son broke his leg playing soccer and ended up in the same hospital. oops_sign Fortunately, things don't ALWAYS come in threes. laughing6-hehe

This too shall pass. [:Y:] Best of luck to your wife with her recovery.

Lance,

I'm so glad to hear that. Pancreatitis is rough enough notwithstanding that you've already had a tough year before this.

Hang in there.

I'm also glad to hear your wife is back home and feeling better. Family illness
should always take precedence over business in my view.
