In its statement, the Vatican said the pontiff needed treatment for "symptomatic diverticular stenosis" of the colon, part of the large intestine.
Diverticular disease is a condition that involves bulges in the wall of the large intestine. This can lead to a narrowing, of the colon.
Symptoms include bloating, recurrent abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.

I had similar surgery ten years ago, it’s not that bad. They took out 18 inches of my colon thru a small incision by the belly button. You go home after your first bowel movement.

Maybe they can pull his head out of there.
Seems he’s putting keeping it up there for quite some time.

I doubt it. There is something else going on with Benny. They’ve got something on him.

when this pope dies, is it likely his replacement will be about the same, worse or better?
Because this Pope has been the worst in my lifetime by a mile.

18 inches ? Crohn’s?
My wife had 14 taken out in an emergency surgery. Didn’t go as smoothly but she’s alive.

Eighteen inches? So what you’re left with is a semicolon.
