Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Quote This is from Deborah TheRedhead Rich. Wanted to let you know George Baylor went to the ER at 2am this morning. Not to worry. He’s ok. Had surgery and is now recovering in his room. I’m sure he’ll post an update as soon as he gets his phone back! Quote From Capt a Baylor’s page with his permission: You’re not seeing or reading this. My iPhone wasn’t allowed into the hospital , COVID-19 you know. But with a complex, clandestine operation worthy of the CIA our agent, code name Tanya got my iPhone and other necessities past the solid wall of masked guards. The rest of the story. I had a hiatal hernia, a tear in the diaphragm. It was diagnosed on June 3, but I wasn’t told until June 30. A aurgical referral was made and filed away with the other “elective” surgeries. I could tell it was getting worse. Then the entire stomach broke through and was blocked. I passed out. Deborah TheRedhead Rich was standing over me calmly talking to 911 when I woke. The surgery was performed Thursday morning and proved to be very difficult, taking several hours-twice what was planned. Arthroscopic, several small incisions. At this point I’ve been on clear liquids, and the nurses have been encouraging ne to fart. That’s a first. Tomorrow I get “free” liquids. If I can handle them I get paroled. I’ll be restricted to liquids for 4 to 6 weeks. The worst diet ever. No, Margaritas and gin and tonics are not on the list. Tonics maybe. The pain hasn’t been bad except for the caffeine withdrawal headaches. They give opiods for everything. Apparently Advil Is dangerous. No worry about addiction. I hate the stuff. I’m still reading all of the wonderful comments on Debbie’s posts on my page. I’m extremely gratified and overwhelmed. The people of SASS are the greatest, and I really appreciate all of your comments. Even you Al Lind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Latest info is he should be home today recovering from surgery. Quote From Deborah TheRedhead Rich. We knew Capt. Baylor had a hernia and needed surgery and he’s been waiting for the VA to schedule. But it is an elective surgery which is currently suspended in Bexar County due to COVID. At 1am yesterday morning he woke me up, said he was sick, then collapsed on the floor. So the elective surgery became emergency surgery. The Dr said the hernia turned out to be much worse than we thought and it was a difficult surgery. I expect him home later today. Thank you all so much for your kind words, prayers and friendship. It means a lot to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Let's see now: Kitchen table to lay him out on; Rubber mallet to put him out - Don't care for all that squirming and screaming; Javex tp sterilize the area; Sharp hunting knife; Skinning knife; Bunch of AAA batteries; Button thread and needle - Not too rusty - should be OK; washed scrap pajamas for bandages and Duct Tape. Yep. I'm ready for the victim patient. ) When can you be here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
