Thanks guys, nothing serious just the old gallbladder reached its limit of cheeseburgers I guess!

The thing is so blocked that anything that's fried, dairy, has even a little fat or tomato in it sends me to hospital if I screw up. Even then it is acting up on its own it seems this week, will be taken out next Wednesday if all goes to plan. No more cardboard, grass and water for meals!

Jim, cardboard is for packing, grass is for smoking, and water is for the bong.
Jeez. Best of luck, I personally dislike pain.
g.b.

Im near Ann Arbor MI. If that helps move things along ..Let me know.

Well I'm back on my feet but still probably a month away from able to ride. Hope you don't ever have an infected gallbladder, that hurts worse than kidney stones! Had to go to the ER 2 days earlier than expected and end up spending 3 days in the hospital.

Anyway, I appreciate everyone's patience and have got all who I think needed added to the map on there now. As for the Canadian section, I just took a wild stab at it as I couldn't find the thread where that was being discussed for some reason.

If any corrections or additions are needed, just let me know!


WE STILL NEED A RIDER BETWEEN PITTSBURGH AND CANADA, NOT THE WHOLE WAY NECESSARILY JUST A PART OF IT WILL HELP GREATLY!

Glad to hear you are back Jim. Not sure how you took the hospital stay, but bwringer was going crazy at the end of his last stay.
Just don't rush it, the bike will always be there waiting for you.

The staff was great but still it is a hospital and their idea of plenty of rest is 1-2 hours between someone coming in to do something to you. Back to real food now but mayo is still out, just a consequence of loosing the gallbladder I guess.

I recall being in the hospital (only once, had a disc removed). They would wake me up to take a sleeping pill. Hmmm.
When Brian was in the hospital I actually played room guard for him. If he was sleeping and the nurse/aid wanted to do something unimportant, I asked them to come back later. Never told him, but seemed the correct thing to do.

Glad your back Rage. Yup, the old saying, a hospital is the worse place you can be when your sick, holds true. I contemplated suicide(just kidding ) at one point during a 15 day hospital stay.

hey Rage, glad things went well. looking forward to meeting you at the handoff.

Just a yell out to Enaz1, are you helping the East Coast leg or are you still in the 2nd leg? I heard something about this sometime back and just wanted to verify you as part of this leg or not. Not a problem either way, just doing the logistics.

Looks like we need some central'Bama riders to join in this 2nd leg. How do we want to recruit them? Which forum is best to use is what I'm getting at?
I want to participate in the relay, but I didn't want to ride clear across 'Bama to do it....

When things get closer I am gonna run an ad on craigslist inviting riders and of course on my facebook page gonna go talk to a local kawi shop to see about a cruise in or bike show on whatever weekend it is also. There are szeveral KZ riders in my area that arent into forums and the like hope to run into a few while im out riding to spread the word
