Geno to miss Sunday’s Game

[Teacherdeb]

Does diverticulitis explain all the grimacing Geno has been prone to this year when doing interviews?Seems likely.

My daughter and son both have this disease. Spots on the intestine that when they become inflamed and infected makes them very uncomfortable. My son been lucky so far and only had to be treated with antibiotica. My daughter who was diagnosed first had several spots that were perforated and needed Emergency surgery. This is how she found out she had it. She was in surgery for 4 1/2 hours. She got out of surgery at 2 in the morning! At 7 am the hospital called and said the was heading back in to surgery! They found 3 more ruptures behind her spleen. We almost lost her! Both of my kids are doing well today!

Sorry for those who suffer with this condition. I have every confidence in CD until he can return.
Hope his recovery is quick and uncomplicated.

One article stated that he was having minor surgery on Wednesday.

While the surgery itself may or may not be minor, any internal issues could have major consequences. Not uncommon to see a minor nick result in weeks of hospital stay due to infections. Best to luck to Geno for a straightforward and uneventful surgery.

The only surgery for diverticulitis is, remove portion of the colon that is damaged. If they are able to do it laparoscopically, which is what I had, it heals quickly. I had 22 inches of my colon removed 8 years ago, and all is well.

I was just pointing out what another article stated, not giving an opinion on the term "minor".

And I know about consequences of hospital visits. In my prime, I spent a month and a half in the hospital, and a few return visits in the following few months, for a "common" intestinal problem. But I didn't mention any of this in my post even though I could have.

Good luck and speedy recovery, Coach!
