Thanks Paul! I appreciate you updating the masses on my current condition.
Yes, I had a pretty rough go there for a while. I ended up in hospital with abdominal pains and was diagnosed with Pancreatitis of all things and sent home with pain killers and told to ride it out as it would take a week or so to start feeling better. Well a week later I felt worse so went back to the hospital and they said my appendix had ruptured and I was septic. Fun stuff. Guess I never had pancreatitis. Because I sat home with a ruptured appendix for a week my bowels were in kinda rough shape so they when they operated the first time they couldn't remove the appendix due to all the infection and they didn't want to mess with my bowels at that time(they need to remove a portion of the bowel to get to the appendix then they re-attach the bowel). So they cleaned up as much infection as possible while in there and closed me up. I sat in the hospital for 5 days after not allowed to eat. I was getting pumped full of antibiotics to try to get my white blood cell count down but it wasn't moving. Day 5 white cells started coming down so they sent me home with more antibiotics. 4 days later i woke up at 2am feeling like I got hit by a truck so i drove myself back to the hospital where they said my white cells had spiked and the infection had accumulated around my appendix again and that I was going back in for emergency surgery. They finally removed my appendix along with 12-14 inches of small and large bowel(intestine). Probably one the most painful things i've ever experienced and when it comes to pain i've been around. I sat(laid) in the hospital another 2 weeks hooked up to IV antibiotics as they tried getting the infection under control. I was limited to Jello to eat for 9 days and only clear fluids. My waistline has never looked better though I think my bikini days are behind me now. Looks like someone took a slap chop to my stomach "your gonna love my nuts". So after 2 weeks of being stuck in the hospital I finally got out and was semi limited when I got home but everyday that passed I started getting my strength back and feeling better. I'm now a few weeks out the hospital and for the most part I feel 100% other then my stomach muscles are still healing and feeling like i've just done 1000 sit-ups but like they say no pain, no gain. I appreciate everyone thats been patient and all orders are shipping today.

Bill, one of my best friends went through *precisely* what you just went through. I'm so sorry you're dealing with something that clearly began with that mistaken diagnosis! He had similar (if not the exact same) set of surgeries and recovered. The septic/infection takes so much out of you, the good news is that after several months you'll get your energy back. We're all wishing you healing thoughts, man.
...wait, did you say Future Spa?!?!
