Folks,
I know I wasn't in the game very long but several real life circumstance prevented me from continuing before getting eliminated.. First event that occurred is that Navy turned down our extension request where we were currently living. So that meant a move back to San Antonio, TX with 2 weeks notice ( We were originally told we had a 99% chance that the extension would get approved ). So I sent Adam 2 seasons worth of moves with my units holding. However once we got back to Texas and called the internet company that day they told us they could not install our cable and internet until Mar 2nd. While waiting for the internet on Feb 24th I was rushed to the emergency room with severe upper abdominal pain and was blacking out. After an IV of fluids and some heavy pain meds they preformed an ultrasound and found that I had a lot of Gallstones. Two of the gallstones had dropped into my common bile duct ( are you lost yet lol ) and obstructed it blocking off all functions causing the gallbladder to become infected and it stopped working. Soo after 9 hours in the emergency room they admitted me and the next morning they took me in for surgery and removed my gallbladder. I spent another 2 days in the hospital recovering and being monotered and they sent me home. I still can't lift anything over 10lbs and am not allowed to drive until the 6 week mark after surgery. I want to thank Stephen L for stepping in and trying to keep me alive when I could not do so.

Congrats on the win Garry!
