Title: Tom Zurcher in the hospital
Post by: MasterBlaster on November 05, 2011, 08:52:01 AM: Tom was admitted to the hospital last night. He had another severe abdominal attack and went to the ER.
The hospital staff found numerous gallstones and have scheduled surgery today to have his gall bladder removed.

That's all I know right now. I'll keep you all posted on his status.

P.S. I'm sure that it goes without saying that geek meetings and other functions will be cancelled until further notice.

GET WELL SOON TOM!

The doctors think this is likely the root cause. Hopefully for his sake they are right.

Post by: Bunni on November 05, 2011, 12:20:02 PM: If that's so he's gonna feel much better after this. I had mine out in 1997. Any ingestion of fat causes an attack and the pain is debilitating. No fat, no pain! I had to wait three months for my surgery, and as long as I ate no fat, life was good. Antacids made me sick prior to the surgery too, sooo..yeah this should fix him up real well if that's the case!

No lifting for two weeks after the surgery! He should be back on his feet pretty quickly afterwards as well. Mine was day surgery.

Hugs to T! Feel better!

Get better soon. I hope they figure out what the hell is going wrong. It really sucks when your body says - F*** it! I hope to see you back on your feet soon. (Hopefully you have a laptop or something so you can see all the "Get well" thoughts and prayers. You need to be back by 12/10 - I'll be in town over the weekend - can finally make a "GEEK" meeting! My prayers are with you!!

Post by: OCCD on November 09, 2011, 03:53:04 PM: Hi gang,

I want to thank you all for the support and prayers. As many of you know, I have been out since last Friday. I was hoping I could get this lingering problem taken care of once and for all. After four days of tests, the Docs were unable to come to any reasonable conclusion, and booted me from the hospital Monday night. Possible conclusions from preliminary tests were not supported by results of later, much more in depth testing. Nothing was done and I am back to square one.
