I’m getting my pipes reconnected and losing the oh-so sporty and trendy colostomy bag. Doc says it should go way easier and much less invasive since I’m not deathly ill this time.
So… to celebrate I made a stout, it should be ready to bottle or keg by the time I get out and give everything a chance to heal. This is the first batch I’ve made since my surgery this past fall… it was a bit of a trick a couple of times getting things transferred and moving things around.
Glad to hear it man! I hope all goes well for you, and you’ll be in my thoughts. Nothing like getting to brerwing again.
Good luck Dean! Hope all goes well and you can have a full recovery, so that you can enjoy that stout.
ewww But I do wish you all the best, and a speedy recovery!
Get well Dean. Glad to see your inspiration here. I’m sure you’ll enjoy that stout. 8)
Good Luck!
Oh that’s fantastic Dean! I had wanted to ask you about it earlier but that can be a little too personal and a sensitive subject for many.
The thought/chance of having to wear one of those things has been a particular terror of mine along with renal failure and diabetes. But its very good that they just temporarily rerouted your plumbing- hopefully it all goes well. My prayers will be with you.
Hopefully your taster will be back in good working order by the time the stout is ready. ;D
Yes. It’s rough to go through life without being able to taste your homebrew. Good luck!
Hope it all goes as planned. Don’t know you (yet) or of you… but I every time I see someone having a harder time than my in comparison benign challenges I count my blessings. I wish you strength.
I must have missed that part - his taster is at the opposite end of the surgery. How is his taster broke?
(so sorry if this is too in depth)
Good luck dean. I hope you get back to healthy!

Good luck Dean. Hope all ends well.
Good luck Dean!
Dean, may it all go better than planned. I wish you well, and Cheers.
Good luck! My wife had one of those for a while after she delivered my son, and it was a relief (wokka wokka!) to get rid of it afterwards.
Great news, Dean. Here’s to a successful operation and speedy recovery!
Good luck, Dean
If I’m feeling up to it I’ll post while I’m at the hospital… they have a computer in one of the waiting rooms which is a good walk away from the patient rooms… tell me that wasn’t planned. :D 
Great news Dean! please do let us know when you’re ready.
Good luck! I’ll bet that will be the best stout you’ve ever had.
