HELLO ALL...this is Cub Reporter Kate, Chuck's daughter reporting on the status of Chuck today! He's been hospitalized since last Friday afternoon, and after being poked and prodded in ALL the embarassing places, he's scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon. Chuck asked me to update his J-land friends from time to time...He's anxious as anyone 83 years old would be at the prospect of surgery, but he has a wide support system of family, friends and J land readers that give him the courage to carry on. We're hoping he'll feel lots better after recovering from this event, hopefully better than he really has in a long time. However...he'll be out of J-land commission for awhile...probably at least two weeks. (Probably JUST enough time for me to finally learn his RIGHT CLICK mouse configuration.)
Here's his quote: "If Alan Alda can survive a gastric resection while on vacation in Chile, I ought to be okay in Merced. At least I am less scared than I was."
I'm sure you will be wishing him well, and I'll try to get your responses printed out and taken to him frequently. He'll be out of it for a few days, we know for sure.
Keep on bloggin' Kate

Thinking of you, Chuck. When you get out, maybe you should go on vacation to Chile. Alda just did it in the wrong order.

Chuck Hope all is well , We are al pulling for ya buddy!
Get a few spounge baths pal and relax!
Just another wishing Chuck well. I'm one of his faithful "lurkers". Give him my best wishes for his successful surgery and recovery. Love and hugs!
Thanks for sharing this news, Kate. And nice to have met you week before last.
I fully understand anyone's aprehensions about things medical -- I'm a real doc-o-phobe, myself.
I've been under the weather myself and spent this morning at the doctor's office -- two-plus hours in the waiting room, then another half hour waiting in the examination room and (finally) about four minutes with the doctor.
He says "bronchitis." I guess I'm about the only person in town who's sniffing and coughing but who doesn't have the flu.
The docs generally know what they're doing and outcomes are nearly always positive. I'm hoping to be back in business by the weekend -- and I hope Chuck makes an even-speedier recovery.
Thanks again for keeping us updated. There's no knowing how many bloggers have Chuck in there thoughts right not. He's a great American and great guy.
