Update on: Texas Towelie asked me to give DUers an update... [View all]

Update on the update:

Just got back from visiting Texas Towelie and I'm happy to report he seems to be in good spirits and is getting good care. He is scheduled to have an ablation Wednesday.

Calimary, you'll be glad to know I brought him a plant with 3 different specimens in it, which I hope will not be easy to kill. I think it would take me a while to kill it and I think he's probably a better gardener than me.


He is unable to respond to messages and posts at present because he has been hospitalized for an elevated heart rate. He has been intubated twice, but is not intubated now. He will be seeing a cardiologist and may require an ablation to stabilize his heart rate. He says to tell you all he will catch up when he is back to his computer, as for now he has only his cell phone. Apparently he has been hospitalized for a number of days, but wasn't sure how many.

Please keep him in your thoughts and send him good healing vibes.
