Just read on FB that our friend Brooks has been admitted to hospital.

He was in terrible pain this morning.

Apparently they are going to do exploritory surgery, do a colostomy (which he has been considering doing because of bowel issues) and will do what they can to control his pain.

Please offer up prayers, good vibs and all good things for his speedy recovery.

    Thanks Marie:
    Brooks has not been on here much but has had a rough time since his reversal. Hopefully the surgery will finally bring him some bathroom relief. I sure hope thats all that is wrong.

    Hugs - Tina

    Wow--thanks for letting us
    Wow--thanks for letting us know! He was scheduled to have a colostomy in August, right? Hope this doesn't set him back, and hopefully, even move up that date so he can get some relief.
    Thanks~

    He seems to be doing well
    He had his surgery, did well and is home. Last I saw he said he was feeling more like his old self. So all seems to be good.

    Ostomy
    What type of surgery? Did he end up getting the ostomy back. Glad that he is home and feeling better.

    Update
    Brooks posted this on FB just a little while ago:

    I’d thought check in and give everyone another update on what’s going on. I started feeling really bad again last Sunday morning and by the late afternoon my wife was taking me to the ER again. It sure is hard to argue during moments like that because at that point they can kick your but so you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Hope to be home maybe tomorrow?

    ________________________________________________________________________________________

    So I guess spoke too soon about him feeling better. He originally went to hospital because of severe pain. I didn't see a post of what they found that caused that, but do believe that his surgery was to get the ostomy back.

    Hoping that he soon is back on the road to full recovery.
