2004-04-27
I'm having surgery tomorrow morning and I'll be offline for a few days. Steve, Steve, and Dan will be filling in for me. I hope to be back at least lurking by Saturday...

#51  INFIDEL???? I am not a Muslim Jen(I assume that is what you mean by Infidel)I am a Christian details: Roman Catholic by baptism though I do not believe God is a Trinity or that people go to Heaven and Hell etc when they die. The soul is part of you and dies when everything else does. So I have NOT converted to Islam.

#36  Gawd, not surgery....

I just had my gums sliced open last week for a minor procedure, and now after the stitches are coming out and the pain is leaving my jaw, I somehow manage to get sick, even after this area has just had a mini heat wave. Woe is me...

#34  Fred, my thoughts go with you. No complications and a speedy recovery... yeah, that sounds about right!

And ladies, you're as bad as my cats. Alright, kids, knock it off! ;-)

#32  Fred if you're still reading this remember when you wake up ......

Fred: Can I play the piano?
Surgeon: Of course!

Fred: Strange... I couldn't before.


That always gets em.

Holler if you need anything.

#29  "I do not believe God is a Trinity..."
Nnnnnnnn.(Buzzer).
Does your bishop know?
The belief in the Holy Trinity is an integral part of the Christian Faith and certainly required of a "good" Catholic.
(Apostles' Creed, the Bible, Jesus's own words, etc.)
'So I have NOT converted to Islam.'
YET.
Your Muslim boyfriend should shove his AK-47 a little closer.
Rinse, repeat.
Why is it that I can so easily get a visual of Antiwar ("Rachel Corrie is my idol") with a suicide belt around her waist?

#23  Dontcha wish Antiwar would get punished by her own shari'a tribal council and have her posting hand removed for writing lies?
That's the kind of RBer surgery I could get excited about.

#19  Wonder which will be worse? The surgery or wondering what havoc is being administered at Rantburg University?

Hey, hurry back -- stay safe and follow orders.

#18  Don't fall for that trick where they tell you to count to 10. You never reach 10. I've had two operations and never have gone beyond the number 3. But one day.... (well, I hope not).

Get well real fast. We need you out here.

#14  Fred, Best wishes on your surgery. May your hospital be clean and good and all your nurses be like Sam's picture (above).

Of course she might get your too excited too.....

Get well soon.

#13  Good luck with your surgery, Fred. Hope it's nothing too serious.

And what Jen said. :-p
Posted by: Barbara Skolaut   2004-04-27 6:21:23 PM  

#12  I hope it's not serious and the hospital is beyond clean! I hope on my next visit I'm wearing a toe-tag. Need somebody to smuggle in some KFC or anything? I have a friend who used one of those generic restaurant delivery services - told them where he was and to be sneaky when he ordered, and they actually managed to get him a steak, baked potato w/kitchen sink, and sauteed mushrooms! Prolly gave 'em a hell of a tip! Just an idea...

#11  Sam, ROFL...where do you these pictures?!

About the healing, Fred, we'll be here for you, so take all the time you need to recover...but don't forget to take your laptop into surgery! (Just kidding.)
(We're hopelessly hooked on RB!)

#10  Get well soon - in the mean time, hope she can help you!

#9  Oh, and some advice in case this is a hernia repair: do not-- repeat, DO NOT-- give in to the temptation to "get a little exercise" once you start feeling miraculously better on the third or fourth day. I did; bad, bad, BAD mistake. Instead, take it easy.

Again, good luck and get well soon.
