Get well soon bro. I need you to come chase them piggies with me this year. Make the most of your time in and out of the medical clinics and hospitals. Hit on every nurse you meet.

Sorry, I've never been good at knowing what's too soon.  Best get well quickly, there's lots to do with Cody still

Kind of an update, things were going well. Were. Last week I started to feel some pain in my side again, symptoms are coming back. This morning it felt like Tyson hit me in the ribs again. Not that Tyson ever hit me in the ribs, but the sensation is back. Can't eat. Hoping things have not changed. Going to ride it out for a bit and "see" what is going on. Sent my Dr. and email, waiting to hear back, if they want me to come in for some tests or what. First Dove opener I have missed in ten years....THAT, sucks more than anything. So if you are still out scraping up a limit.....bust one for me!

Hello Rich, I just realized the seriousness of this post and went through the whole enchilada of bad and good news with you. Happy for you that it's not the the worst. This is another Montanan sending good vibes and wish you recover quickly. We have not shook hands, but I loved Montana, loved to read and hear your "Its Bang Time". I was even thinking to join your future hunting hookup calls. Montana is an amazing vast land with super power. People from there are bound to be tough. Looking forward to meet you OTW or on hunting trips. Fight hard, we are all with you!

Stay strong Rich!

Wishing you well brotha. We all sending you good vibes and thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Stick to the diet and rest Brutha !!! Who are we gonna give crap to if your at home at not at the events. Well, I mean there is always Pablo. 

If they tell me I have to shave my chest for an emergency procedure, and I will die if I dont shave and my man hair will kill me (because I am a grown-ass-man)(wait, I dont like grown men's ass, or little boys, sickos) and my hairs will impale my organs. Even then, I wouldn't shave my chest.
