Well it was for three things, my Crohn's has fired up again hardcore and the methotrexate injections are no longer working:

1) Fistulotomy
2) Seton implant
3) Full scope of j-pouch and ileum with biopsies and pictures taken throughout

Surgery went fine, J-pouch is ....ing WRECKED right now (no shit, I told them that and considering the ridiculous pain and bleeding, that lines up with exactly what I've been telling them for weeks now! ) so they are trying to figure out what we can do for treatment at this point. There's a medication they've been trying to get me on for 2-3 months now but since it isn't FDA approved for Crohn's yet the insurance is fighting my doc, so hopefully that gets settled soon as it seems like that medication could help significantly right now.

Haha right on man! No NGD's coming from me for a while now, all tapped out and I just had another surgery Friday so I might be letting go of a few pieces myself to help cover the procedures.

Oh hell ya!! What's up dude? Ya, I just joined yesterday after stalking the boards for months on end. lol Figured it was time

Whew, glad to hear you guys made it out unscathed although that still sounds like a bit of a rough time for folks regardless.

Right on man, that was to date one of the best 727's I've owned, plays great and sounds killer with the pickups swap!

Yeah the routing on the JPXI was definitely something I was on the fence about until I played it some more, it's staying so it's all good! The neck is thinner but the carve is perfect, no cramping up whatsoever which is shocking!

Still no word on the Jackson other than he's trying to track one down. Hoping sooner than later, but at the same time we just did our taxes this weekend and while I have enough to keep just about everything (might have to sell one of the cheaper ones, so the Kiko may or may not have to go, we'll see how it looks in a few weeks as I am still trying to calculate everything out ) so I'm not itching to go throwing another $2K+ out for another guitar just yet!

Damn dude, sorry to hear that! Have you been enjoying the 727 at least in the meantime? Guess it is good that I got it out to you when I did, I'd hate to think of a guitar being in-transit during weather like that! Hope you guys stay safe dooder!


In a delay-related note: The BKP Black Hawks will be going into the JPXI 7 on Saturday when Phil Jacoby can route it, apparently the depth on the direct-mount routes is very shallow and won't allow for the BKPs to be installed without some routing. Ah well, should be sweet when it's done at least!

Awesome sir, hope you get to plug in and spend some time jamming on it! Thanks again for the quick payment!

yup

Got it on layaway

Haha yeah man, I haven't bumped the thread as the guitar I was selling it for did end up selling, however there's something else in the works now (keeping it under wraps until it's official ) so I could definitely use the extra funds. Did you want it with the Carvin case or the Ameritage case ($1500 vs $1700, both prices include PP and shipping of course )? Shoot me a PM and we'll go from there, Kyle! Thanks!

thanks bud! appreciate it!
