He's outta there

Just talked to the doc. The surgery went fine - it was indeed a torn quad - and he's on his way to recovery as I type. I should be able to talk to him in 1-2 hours. Expect him to be out of touch for a few days (I'll do my best at delivering messages, but I'm pretty wiped out right now myself) and out of commission physically for a couple more months. I'm sure he'll have something to say to y'all tomorrow, if not before.

Very happy to hear that he's out of surgery and the darn thing's fixed. Of course, that's just the worst hurdle, but I'm glad it's over.

That was fast. Which means the doc is a high-speed quad processor.

Yeah, and I hope they get Tom a morphine pump; I bet it mega-hurts!

(I hope I don't get my punning license revoked.)

As darkwolf69 said, huskiebear, thank you so much for keeping us all up to date.

And Tom, please heal fast, feel better soon, and here's hoping the anesthetic doesn't keep you loopy for too long! <hugs>

Dude, do not say, "He's outta there"! For a second I thought he didn't pull through. Then I noticed the relieved icon at the bottom and made the correct conclusion. That's great! Get better soon Tom!

Leslie, pardon me for posting this here, but I don't have an email address for you. Since I've paid medical claims for a living for thirty years, I have a fair idea of how much all of this is going to cost. If Tom hasn't already done so, I suggest he talk to the hospital social worker and see if s/he has any suggestions about state medicaid benefits to pick up some of the cost. Hospital social workers (before he talks much to the hospital finance people) are very likely to be his friend. They can also maybe help you with the process of getting a disabled placard for the car while he recovers.

My best wishes and prayers will continue. Please feel free to have Tom contact me with questions if he doesn't have another source of info on billing matters. lolamccrary AT yahoo dot (com). I've been a fan for a while, but don't think he and I have ever met other than in passing.

I believe they said the social worker would be by tomorrow. I'll pass along your offer. Thanks!
