Default Scav in Hospital

After 2AM emergency room visit with severe stomach pain Sat morning, Tom couldn't take the pain any longer and checked himself into the hosptial yesterday afternoon. It's gall bladder related and as of now, they are going to run more tests but most likely will take it out tomorrow. I just spoke to him and he's in good spirits and just wants this over with. His parents are with him and he's in a good hospital. Depending on how he feels, I may try and run over there at some point to see him and will update his status if anything happens.

I did ask him about posting this and he was fine with it and appreciates all the well wishes that I know will come his way.

It's gall stone related, but they aren't passing and his liver numbers are getting weird so that is why it will most likely have to come out.

Thankfully it sounds like they've got it at least mostly under control, right?

Got my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery....do they simulcast closing weekend there?

This is a very common injury for people that whip their side too hard with their form/program during a race and Tom goes to the whip soon and often.


Send my best to him for a speedy recovery.

Maybe Zambrano went out and pitched one for the Scavster last night.
Hope you are felling better, get well soon!
