Going Under The Knife

[EZYPIKINS]

My last gig. Which was my first real solo gig since moving to Kansas Cit Metro.

Left me with a collapsed lung. Why? I don't know.

Dr. attributes it to all my years as a smoker. I quit 5 years ago.

Went in to hospital. They inserted a chest tube for 4 days.

Aproxemately one month later, it happened again.

Have had current chest tube linked to a dry drain for nearly a month now.

So today I go in for pre op. I'm guessing Lab work maybe ekg, Covid test and such.

Thursday is the day. I go in a 5:30am surgery at 7:30 to staple a hole in my lung.

Found out my surgeon is a guitar player. Has a band. All Dr's.

He asked if I knew how to play 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. I said sure.

He asked me to teach it to him.

Told him, Keep me alive. And I'll teach you every song I know.

Good luck, EZYPIKINS!

Will be sending you good vibes on Thursday (while humming “fifty ways to love your lever”).

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[Dru Edwards]

You've established some karma with the good Dr, the guitar player. Best Wishes with the surgery and a healthy recovery!

[Brucebubs]

All the best and I hope you'll be jamming the Bee Gees 'Stayin Alive' with your Dr real soon.

[Jim Owen]

Prayers for a complete and speedy recovery for you.

[EZYPIKINS]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

I've been vaccinated fully.

Tested so many times I can't count.

Of course, I'm a musician. I can't count past 4.

Says full recovery will take about 3 weeks.

I will have my OM-28 in hospital with me again.

I wake up in the middle of the night and play.

So nurses decided I have insomnia.

Thanks again everyone Merry Christmas

Got in to pre-op nekkid with IV in place and they canceled. Dr in surgery ahead of me ran long.

So, sent me back home a rescheduled for next week.

Good thing I had gotten used to hurry up and wait, years ago.

Ratt fuzz!!! That's a bummer. We'll pray for a safe and successful round two, eh?

Good luck with your surgery 2nd time around. A collapsed lung is no fun.

Good thoughts coming your way!
