According to whoever on MSNBC just now it will be on * press conference today. :woohoo: Keith is coming back with a bang.

[annabanana]

1. He's Back! Glad to hear it.

BTW. . What did blivet talk about today?

[liberalnurse]

2. Nelson Mandela Lives!

I have a feeling thats it.

[Nite Owl]

3. He outdid himself

with that one. Ya think he can't go any lower yet he does.

[Connie_Corleone]

4. I hope he can reassure us that Saddam is not a zombie who killed Mandela.

[spinbaby]

5. He must be doing much better

Glad he's coming back--I was getting tired of interminable OJ coverage.

6. That's gotta be a record recovery from a ruptured appendix.

Most ordinary mortals take ten days at a bare minimum, after surgery.

[Trouser Trout]

7. I Had Emergency Appendectomy in '89

Went in on a Thursday night, came out on Monday. Not to take anything away from Keith.......

[Fredda Weinberg]

9. A ruptured appendix is different. Peritonitis is inevitable

But antibiotics get better every year. If you avoid using them, they can be very effective.

[TahitiNut]

14. Exactly. I had an emergency appendectomy for a ruptured appendix in 1974.

I was taken in on a Saturday morning and on the table out cold within 30 minutes of arriving. I was in the hospital for ten days. They get folks out of the hospital sooner these days, but bodies still take time to recover. I had peritonitus and developed pneumonia as well. I had a drainage tube inserted into the end of the abdominal incision for many days, too. Gas pains. (Yeow!) People don't warn about that.

I remember the Levine (nasal-gastric) tube ... and having to get it down before surgery ... and then AGAIN becuase it was removed too early after the surgery. I have a helluva gag reflex.

It wasn't fun.

17. Object lesson: avoid antibiotics until necessary

You were lucky they gave you a shunt - they left mine as an open wound. This is what you get being uninsured in America.

[TahitiNut]

18. Well, it was an open wound (with dressing) after they removed the drainage tube.

I remember changing the dressing. I can't recall (it's been over 30 years) how many days I had the tube and how much longer I had the open wound. It was a while, though. (Smelly, too.)

[superkia]

12. Probably saw their ratings drop with him gone.

[Botany]

8. Saddam killed Nelson Mandela

betya that is it.

[zabet]

10. Kick for Keith!

And a Rec!

[PA Democrat]

11. We love you Keith!!!!

[Lugnut]

13. K&R for Keith

He's back with a vengeance. Thank goodness.

[malaise]
