Joe - TooManyToCount in Surgery
I just got a call from Joe. He is about to be wheeled into surgery to have a hole in his colon repaired. It was caused by Diverticulitis. Please keep him in your prayers. As soon as I hear from him after the surgery I will let everyone know how he is doing.
He wanted us on the forum to know what was going on so we would not wonder where he is.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Wow. Thanks for letting us know Pat. Hope he does well. Joe is one of those guys who is really dedicated to his family and I know they are foremost in his mind right now. Was this something he knew was coming or unexpected? Please tell him our prayers are with him.

He told me he has been experiencing stomach pain and last night it became unbearable so he went to the Dr. Not sure if it was to the emergency room or via a regular appointment.Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

That diverticulitis is miserable stuff.............
Assuming Joe will be reading this when he gets out, have a good, successful recovery buddy!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Just had a call from Joe. Due to an infection that they discovered at the last minute, they decided not to cut on him yet. Will wait till they have the infection cleared out and then do the surgery. May be a week or two. That way they do not need to use a colostomy bag to avoid the surgery area. So keep him in your prayers and hope they get the infection whipped pronto. He's not a happy camper at the moment, but keeping a stiff upper lip as the Brits say.
