My good friend and veteran Freeper, TroutStalker is scheduled for surgery today at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland OH.

Post your "Get Well Quick" wishes to TroutStalker here.
I will make sure that he gets the URL to this thread or, if needed, I will print it out and get it to him.

TroutStalker is a veteran Freeper. He and his dog Max freeped clinton when he was here at the VFW convention, counter freeped anti-gun nuts at the NRA convention and was one of the leaders of the many protests we had during the 2000 Presidential election fiasco. He posts a lot of Wall Street Journal articles and joins various discussions.

TroutStalker suffers from Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a chronic condition and may recur at various times over a lifetime. Some people have long periods of remission, sometimes for years, when they are free of symptoms. For more information click the link above or check out this list.

He has been experiencing pretty severe pain and discomfort for some time. The surgery today will remove a small section of the intestine that has become scarred and is causing the problem. He could be hospitalized for about 10 days. It should help cheer him during the recovery process to read positive comments from all of his friends on FR.

I hope to see you and Max up and about raising a little heck with the libs soon. BTW I understand Crohns is caused by eating toothpaste and washing it down with beer!

We're so glad you are safely home, hospitals are no place to be! Stay out of this heat and get plenty of rest, your system has been through quite a shock. Follow your wife's suggestions, she knows best! :-)

Well, there's the post (#57) we have all been waiting to see! So good to see you back on the forum.

I know you've been through a tremendous ordeal and you've still got a ways to go before you can resume rasslin' with Max... so take it real easy in the coming weeks and you'll bounce back up.

See you soon.

From friends with similar surgery, I know how hard it was to adapt to the post surgical changes at first. When you are totally frustrated, just get on FR and pick a fight, LOL, it will get your mind off it.

I am soooo, glad to hear you are home. Heal up and keep us posted, ol' chum.

Hi TS,

I'm very glad to hear everythings going good for.
Something similar happened to my step dad a couple of years ago so I know what you're going through. You're still in my thoughts and prayers.

Best,
Jeff
