Francis Will Not Be the Same Anymore UPDATE

Francis Will Not Be the Same Anymore UPDATE

Francis’ “small surgery” on Sunday night at Gemelli hospital in Rome lasted five hours, and the two days planned in hospital are now seven.

He underwent a laparoscopic operation (minimally invasive surgery) under general anaesthesia but the medical team was forced to change to open surgery. Several centimetres of colon where removed which are tested for cancer. It’s not excluded that Francis now has an artificial excretory opening (ileostomy).

The official diagnosis was “diverticular stenosis” in the lower part of the colon. "Stenosis" refers to a narrowing of the intestine. "Diverticular" means a disease related to sacs that form from the wall of the large intestine.

If this is the problem, an older person gets back into shape after a month's convalescence. However, according to IlSismografo.Blogspot.com (July 7), Francis’ illness is “severe and degenerative” and could be lasting. Francis will “not be the same” anymore and will live “with many physical and physiological as well as metabolic limitations.”

He will have to undergo regular medical controls including other hospitalisations, and will have to change his life in terms of rest, nutrition, and physical rehabilitation.

The faithful will pray for his recovery and for his conversion, so that he will understand the enormous damage he has done to the Church and comes to his senses at the end of his life.

The Vatican has informed that no cancer was detected. A severe diverticular stenosis with signs of sclerosing diverticulitis was found.

Should have had the operation in the US by private sector surgeons who are experienced and competent doing laparoscopic surgery.

His colon decided to die before he did. Old age is not fun.

An artificial excretory opening? I’m sure there are some jokes to be told there.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Francis passed before Benedict, who supposedly was replaced because of ill health.

Hm. Hm. Hm. As one person above commented, I hope he lives long enough to understand what he’s done and try to atone for it.

Degenerative colon. There IS a joke in there somewhere, isn’t there? Along with a lot of other things.

We already have one Pope emeritus. Maybe we could have two Popes emeriti. Or, even better,
can we swap him out for Pope Benedict? He’s tanned, rested and ready to go.
