OK OK so I finally broke it and could use everybody's prayers to get it fixed. Of course I am talking about my colon. I have been MIA around here for most of the last 2 weeks fighting some cancer that is picking on the wrong stubburn old fart. A tumor in my colon caused complete blockage and a attempt to place a stint in the colon ended up in a perferation which caused emergency surgery on Christmas. As of this morning I am down 21 1/2 pounds, sporting a beautiful scar 40 staples long and adding this lovely looking (as us rednecks call them) poop bag with every outfit I wear. Trust me it really clashes with my birthday suit. I am still waiting on all the results from the tests and I won't know will next week if the cancer has spread to the liver or not, and to find out if I have stage 1,2, or 3. Stage 4 has already been eliminated (Thank you Lord) I still have some fighting to do and I could really use a few of y'alls prayers right now.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Some people will go to any lengths to drop a few pounds. lol Man, you don't mess around, do you? I will definitely pray for you.
Let me know if you need anything else.

I've talked w/GM in some PMs this past week. I can guarantee you a couple of things:
--he will fight --he still has his sense of humor
Like others have said, there is power in prayer and I'm sure that the DawgTalk members will have God's ear.
This cancer is in for one heckuva battle, because GM has a lot going for him. A fighting attitude, a great sense of humor, and the power of prayer.

GM I read this earlier (several hours ago) and I had to wait to post because you are going through something very similar to what my father went through. I'm happy you've got the fight in you and I wish you all the best on a speedy remission (hopefully they got it all and you are cancer free) and clean bill of health.
If you would like to talk to somebody that has been through this recently about the zigs and zags OR just some unbiased perspective; just PM me. I didn't have the cancer, but I helped my dad navigate his fight for over 10 years.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.

Get well soon GM, prayers are offered for a speedy recovery.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

GM we've never met but I feel like I know this much about you... there is no way anything could survive in your GI tract. Not even cancer. Keep a positive attitude. Accept help when you need it. Let those that care rally around you. Prayers are with you.
