I’m worried about tomorrow, my nephew Andy was diagnosed with Diverticulitis awhile back. It got to the point he can’t take the pain so tomorrow he goes in for surgery. I’m not real good on all the medical stuff but they have to remove part of his intestine that infected. He is a young man at 45 and a good husband to my niece and father to his son. Talked to my niece today and she told me he will be in surgery for five hours and that’s if all goes right. It’s hard I have been talking to him and emailing but he lives 1000 miles from me and I can’t be there. I just worry about these things. So if you guys can wish him a speedy recovery that would be great I would like to send him the link to this to show him that the guys I hang out with do care about others and there are still good people in the world that care. I have been accused of being a worry wart but this means a lot to me. He is also a good friend to me, so wish him and us the best you can. I know this isn’t about guns but it’s about family

Ditto that here. Take care of family and all the other BS will take care of itself.

This is not the worst type of surgery to have on one's lower unit. What he has is a ... not uncommon condition. Resultant surgery less common, but the risk is rather low, as surgery goes, and one of the more common procedures (well combined with all non-cancer related butt/lower bowel surgeries).

Good to be concerned, but expect a good outcome. The REAL concern is what's between his ears. He'll be laid up a bit, have difficulties for a bit... that wears on a man's mind. They always prepare you for the physical in's and out's of things, but they never ever prepare you with the councelling youu might like, just to keep your noggin' screwed on straight, and your marbles in order. A family can do that for ya, if they know about it.... so ... that's your mission, Mr. Phelps, if you decide to accept it.

Our prayers are with Andy and all of your family. Had a cousin that had that exact same surgery 4 years ago and everything went great. Family is what matters in this life. Everything else is temporary. We are all with you.

Andy, my family and I wish you a speedy recovery. I'm sure the doctors who will perform your surgery have done this many times before so you're in good hands. Following surgery, you'll be glad you had it done so you can go on with your life!

A close friend of mine had the surgery a few years back at the age of 55...................piece of cake..................pretty routine surgery these days...............be concerned, but don't worry. His lifestyle won't change a heck of a lot, unless he wants it to, just stay away from spicy foods.

As said. It isn't much of a surgery these days and the outcomes are very good. At 45 yo(if in good health), he should fly through this very well. Don't worry too much. Most the surg time is getting the laparoscopy set up going. His life will be MUCH better AFTER the procedure.

No sooner than I put my last reply in five minutes later my niece called and everything went 100% good. He was supposed to been out of the O.R. around noon that got me worried and got the call at 3:30 they started late so that was the delay in the time. Thank you everyone for your well wishes, I’ll talk to him tomorrow and send him the link to KAHRTALK and he will see what GOOD PEOPLE you are. I’m sure seeing all of you being concerned will help his spirits. Once again thanks for having my back on this

Good to hear the positive news. Now tell Andy to get well so he can go out and have a plate of good BBQ.

I'm a little late to this party, but I do wish him a speedy recovery. I'm having another knee replaced in January, so maybe Andy can return the favor. My best to you and yours.

Thanks all, this was Andy’s response to me in a email

(Incredible & heartwarming to see so many positive responses Uncle Harry; many thanks to KahrTalk for the kind words… all good here, been trying to eat, sleep, and walk, (trying to keep it simple)
