Reasons I have been gone

[Moxnix]

Well it has been a month since I have been here. And it wasn't my doing. The government is at fault. They had me incarcerated in a hospital for over 27 days.

Not their fault really, just good care by the VA.
I went to the VA clinic to have a sore foot (that was turning black) checked out and they sent me to the ER at the local hospital. They quickly admitted me which was alright. Except that night I got up to go to the bathroom and had a heart attack.
If you are going to have a heart attack, a hospital is a good place to have one but don't plan on going home very soon. Two days later they airflighted me to the Denver VA Hospital.
While I was in there they amputated my big toe on the right foot and have me scheduled for a multiple bypass surgery just as soon as the can get all the infection gone from my foot.
They sent me home under a antibody therapy that I get by IV once a day. I get a home health care nurse that comes out to do the hard stuff.
Two weeks to 6 weeks I have to go back to Denver to have another foot surgery and then my bypass if all the infection is gone.

When I go back I am taking my laptop with me. That will solve the internet withdrawal I had.

Now I didn't even think about asking for the parts back. Would have made a great snack for the dogs.

Man, Moxnix, you've had quite the adventure. Good thing you have VA, at least.

I guess the stag party, with the dancing girls and kegstands and all are out this weekend, eh?

VA kinda sucks, but at least they looked out for you properly this time. Hang in there bro and glad to have ya back.

Actually I have had good luck with the VA medical system. They treat me really well -- slowly but well.

Daaaaaaamn, Mox, what a freaking ride! Seriously hope you're alright and get better and you're right, a hospital is the best place if you're gonna have a heart attack! Wow, I'm still shocked all that piled on at once...
