This is my last post concerning this matter. I already feel as if I never had a 16th and 17th surgery. Abdominal pain is almost non existent and I'm functioning totally normally. Almost feel as if I'm suffering PTSD from having those vile leaking fistulas on my belly - it was a gross time to be sure, but history now and there's no chance of them reforming. Tapering off narcotics at an accelerated rate now and will soon put myself thru withdrawal to be done with that as well. I'm still floored by the financial support I got from all of you as well as the prayers and well wishes. That went a long way to hastening my recovery and I thank you very sincerely.
On another note, not wanting to violate copyright issues with the tattoo to replace my belly button, I contacted Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame. I told him of my idea for belly button replacement of Stewie giving it all he's got to stretch his way out of a hole in skin. An artist for Family Guy is going to provide me with the line drawing. I'll have a totally legal tattoo... aren't ya proud of me copyright police?
I talked to SteveC today. He sounds excellent, but is not back working at his shop yet. I offered my services pro bono to help him get out any jobs he needs money from. He said he'd be in touch. Main thing is, he sounds like the Steve I've known for 20 years again so no worries there. You should all pat yourselves on the back for being part of the most caring forum on the internet. And an additional special THANK YOU to Colin for getting the fund drive going for me. BTW... I'm gassing for a new model Fender electric bass guitar I can't afford. Anybody wanna contribute to a fund to raise money for it? It would be a boon to my mental health! LOL

Congrats on that and on your speedy recovery!
