Heaviness

[thewayne]

My brother-in-law, stationed in Afghanistan, was supposed to be home for the holidaze. I believe he was supposed to be home by now or arriving soon. Just got word that he's in a hospital in Germany with a ruptured appendix.

Sigh.

Odds are good for recovery normally for such things, but people still die from them. Hopefully he'll be home for Christmas.

My prayers for his speedy recovery...

Is there any chance he can still make it home for the holidays?

Unfortunately I know nothing more at this point. I'm sure I'll have more information in a couple of days. Hazarding a guess, it'll hold him up a week or so before he's able to travel, but I would think he'd still make it.

I hope so.

Talk about bad timing! Hope he heals quickly and makes it home for a while.

Any surgery has its dangers and should never be taken lightly. But given all the other reasons why being stationed in Afghanistan could lead to one being placed in a hospital, I'm sure that a ruptured appendix is one of the less dangerous reasons.

I hope that he'll recover soon, and I'm glad that it's not something more serious.

Unfortunately, this means that he'll miss the WWE's Christmas tour of Afghanistan this year. I'm sure he's just crushed about that. :-)

Hope
