STAYING in the Hospital is NOT good for your health, unless you are REALLY sick.

I wish the Governor a healthy and speedy recovery.
I don't always agree with the Governor, especially when he leans left on an important, core, issue. But he's a good man.

He must be really sick. These days they discharge you from the hospital after eighteen hours even if you've had your head amputated.

"Intravenous feeding" not tube feeding, but intravenous. Wonder what that is? TPN?

Tube feeding means that the patient has a tube surgically installed to introduce food directly into his stomach. That's a more serious kind of thing than a simple IV delivering a solution to his bloodstream.

These days they discharge you from the hospital after eighteen hours even if you've had your head amputated. My son had an appendectomy recently and was out of the hospital in about 36 hours.

It sounds to me like they may have found something else besides a ruptured appendix. Maybe Colon cancer, or stomach cancer. Two weeks is a long time and unless he had the worst kind of peritonitis I don't get it.
