Glenn Beck Has Surgery for Appendicitis
Source: Seattle Post Intelligencer

Glenn Beck suffered from appendicitis during his radio show Wednesday and had to undergo surgery, a Fox News Channel spokeswoman said.

She said she had no further details.

"He's expected to make a full and complete recovery," said Andrew P. Napolitano, who filled in for Beck on his TV show.

The 45-year Beck, who underwent what he called "butt surgery" nearly two years ago and publicly complained that it went "awry," will be sidelined for the rest of the week.

1. I keep wondering if they will announce when they find his head in there while checking his large
intestine for his appendix...

2. That's probably what blocked the duct
Seriously, I wouldn't wish it on anybody, it sucks.

At least now they do laparoscopic surgery, so you end up with a few bandaids and not a whole lot of pain. That open surgery was nasty. That's the one I had.

They left his gall bladder, so he'll still be loaded with bile.

3. Prediction: He'll return with glowing reports of his care and how he'd have waited 6 weeks in Canada
Bank it.

9. According to WebMd, "obstructing fecaliths" are the biggest contributor
to appendicitis in adults, along with trauma, worms, foreign bodies, etc. But, as far as good ol' Beckkk is concerned, my money is on the obstructing fecaliths. 'Cause he sure is full of 'em.

11. When I was a kid, I was told that swallowing the seeds in oranges
would cause appendicitis. So I was really careful never to do that. Years later, I got appendicitis anyway.

On the bright side, now I don't have to worry about swallowing those seeds.

22. My money is on
his appendicitis being caused by pent-up festering guilt from 1990- which will hopefully be considered a pre-existing condition and cause for his insurer to deny coverage.

16. Poor Baby!!
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 12:24 PM by mstinamotorcity
Do you think he drew a sketch of his body and labeled them with misspelled words and added up how much it should cost and was off by a few thousand dollars. You know he can't spell or add and subtract. Or do you think he was crying about he wanted to have a 9/12 tea party for the removal of his innards. Somebody pass me a tissue i think i am about to get teary eyed he will be back soon. I miss his stupidity and utter ignorant rantings. What will we do for a couple of weeks. I guess we can pick on Michele Bachmann or good old Virginia Foxx.

20. Sounds like a pre-existing condition to me.
His previous asshole surgery was for one end of the colon. Now he has problems at the other end of the colon. Sounds pre-existing to me.
