One of Feldgrau's long time members and respected forum moderators, Tom Houlihan, is in the hospital right now. We aren't sure of the prognosis yet but believe it has to do with his appendix. Regardless, the fact that he's there at all is troubling and I wanted to insure everyone was able to send him their best wishes for a speedy recover until he gets back on his feet!

GET BETTER SOON TOM. You are missed and our thoughts are with you.

Please be sure to keep Tom in your thoughts.

You better get better ASAP Tom, since you truly are one of Feldgrau's finest when it comes to moderate and to serve...


Best wishes of a speedy recovery!

Gee is a bad news indeed ; nevertheless cheer up, I wish you a speedy recover and all the best Tom. Raúl M .

Get well soon Tom!

Thanks, friends!

I went in thinking I had a hernia. They started getting concerned about appendicitis, so I ended up staying the night so they could monitor white cell counts, fever, things like that. Well, it weren't neither one of those problems.

Twenty two hours with no food or even water. No smokes. I woke up with a caffeine-deprivation headache like it was cool! Three cups of coffee, though, and I was fine. Got checked out, got in the car, and immediately lit up. Felt much better.

I'll be going back Monday for a follow-up. One of the alternate problems seems likely now, but you don't need to know those details. Trust me, you don't want to.

Just like a year ago I went in. Turned out I had developed an infection that caused painful swelling. You REALLY don't want to know details on that, but it hammered home an important lesson. If you think something is wrong, go see a medic. It could be nothing, or something minor. Or it could be something worse. Get it checked out.

Hope it's nothing serious, Tom!

All the best.

Mate....glad to hear you are ok. I too hope it is nothing too serious. Take care, rest and put those feet up.

Best wishes Tom, hope it all works out well.

Sam, the deprivation was worse than the presenting pain!

So far, so good. I'll know more Monday.

Dear Mr Houlihan,

I also would like to send you my best wishes and that whatever else it is that you have been informed of, is NOT in any way serious.

-Some 'humour'-
Oh, and 24 hours without tobacco, "the horror, the horror". As Sherlock Holmes once said "24 hours [or was it 48hrs???] without food or water was bearable, but 24 hours [again, was it 48hrs???] without tobacco I found to be most irksome!" (I think from memory, this was from the story "The Dying Detective")

Not funny? OK, OK, I'll just get my coat

Chin up, mate,

Nick

Dear old friend Tom,

I hope your docs are a little better and wiser than mine (you
know what I mean).
Get well very soon Tom!

Tom,

is it safe to say you feel better now so we can start making fun of you again?

I think so!

I'll have a better idea by Monday afternoon.

Fingers crossed for you Tom. All the best.
