merry andrew is in the hospital

I assume we're glad it's in the colon and not a major artery...? I don't actually know if my assumption is a valid one. All the same, sounds like a rotten blockage, a rotten hospital stay and a rotten cold.

Seriously. I'm local. If he needs something let me know.

Thank you for letting us know, Sglass. It is a complete surprise. Andrew didn't mention this in his posts over the past week.

Get well, Andrew!
So sorry to hear you're feeling so crumby.

Oh dear.

I do hope Merry is feeling chipper VERY soon.

merry andrew likes you too Set.

Kiss kiss . . .

He woke up early this am in pain and went to emergency. I just spoke with the nurse that attended his surgery and she said he was going to be fine and should be home in four days.

Meanwhile, I have reseved a gorgeous 2-bedroom condo in Kona that overlooks the ocean for the Christmas holidays. Great spot for recupperating.

I know that he will be so happy to read your messages when he gets at a computer.

Oh no!

I'm sorry to hear about the surgery. Thanks for letting us know. I hope he'll quickly rec0ver and be ready to eat more Chinese dumplings with us.

What a lovely place to recuperate.... hope you will both be waited on hand and foot... hugs to you both. xx

That is very kind of you Chris. Just no cigarettes, which is all I am sure he wants.

Been there, done it and have the scar to prove it.

It is a very painful experience being full of **** and having no where for it to go.

Glad you had the good sense to get yourself to the hospital, MA. Now you can look forward to all that bland and liquidy hospital food while they wait for things to get going again.

Remember, this too shall pass. By the way, here's a helpful suggestion learned from my own experience: Until you have recovered enough strength to quickly get to the bathroom, be sure you have a portable potty nearby. Those first few uncorkings are doozies.

Oh no! Poor Andrew. Seaglass, please give him my regards and wish him
a speedy recovery. You two will have a lovely time together in Hawaii, I am sure,
and Andrew will be happy to escape the cold weather.

Oh my. Bad news of trouble an discomfort mixed with good news that the surgery was successful. I hate that he feels lousy. I am glad to know that he can look forward to feeling much better soon. Thanks for letting us know and I bet a lot of folks here are sending all kinds of good healing vibes his way. I know I am.

Thanks for letting us know, Sglass.

I hope he'll be able to get on a plane soon, and head toward you and recuperation.

Oh dear! So sorry to hear of Andrew's troubles! Wishing he'll make a full recovery soon.

Thanks so much for letting us know of his condition here on the forum.

Please add my healing thoughts and best wishes to the stack, Seaglass.

I'm sure there are much more pleasant reasons to visit Kona, but since Merry Andrew has to recuperate somewhere, that sounds like a delightful place!

Good move, 99!

Sounds a wonderful place to recuperate!

My best wishes to you S glass and Andrew as well. A swift recovery and a happy Christmas in Hawaii are indicated.

Rotten luck about the surgery but glad to hear it went well. Recuperating in Hawaii sounds like just what the doctor ordered! Hope you both have a good Christmas.

Glad the surgery was a success. He's supposed to feel lousy--even if he didn't have a cold. Hope he feels less lousy soon.

Best wishes, kid.

I hope you're feeling much better by the time you read this, Andrew. And thanks for keeping us posted, Seaglass.
