RUSH having his surgery today

[Sungirl]

I think Rush is having his surgery today.
Everyone cross your fingers for him.

Don't know how accurate this info is, but I'll be praying for his implant to take hold. God speed, Rush. Merry Christmas.<psw

[Chick-with-a-brain]

What surgery? I assume it's for his ears. But, I only get to listen to him sporadicaly any more. Can you elaborate?

It makes me want to cry everytime I hear him get spun up and his voice really starts sounding high pitched and so un-Rushlike.

I'll say a quick prayer.

I thought he said it would be around late Jan.

The host sitting in for Rush today indicated that Rush was on vacation.

It makes me want to cry everytime I hear him get spun up and his voice really starts sounding high pitched and so un-Rushlike.

What is funny is that you get used to it, if you listen to him alot. I'm to a point where he now sounds strange when I hear his old voice.

[Attillathehon]

A heartfelt prayer for the man who gave a voice to the silent majority. God Bless You Rush!

I thought he said it would be around late Jan.

Ditto. Or at least January sometime.

Hail Mary for Rush....

[Goldi-Lox]

I thought it was in January too. Could this be just his usual vacation time due to the holidays?

He might be getting all his pre-surgery stuff done too... Blood work, EKG, X-rays etc. That's usually done a week or two before elective surgery. Sometimes up to a month before. I think it's more likely that is what he's having done, and possibly more tests on his ears. (Pre surgery tests, MRIs, etc.)

[Recovering_Democrat]

didn't know. God be with him, and his surgeon(s).

[Sungirl]

If you would of listened to him, he told us that he should be hearing around January....that after the implant, it would take about a month to kick in.
Trust me...he's having the surgery...after all, I'm from Palm Beach county.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Yeah, but don't forget, you people can't even vote correctly.

Only teasing...I believe you.

Way to go for posting this Sungirl. I have deep affection and admiration for Rush Limbaugh and wish him the very best in everything. I pray for Marta and he, that all goes well. V's wife.

I want to do all I can.....should I cross my fingers or pray? Is there somebody listening if I just cross my fingers?

[Sungirl]

Why don't you cross your fingers so they form a cross...that may be seen and understood.

BIG Texas BUMP For Rushbo! !
