| In the hospital |
I do hope your Christmas and holiday time were joyful and a blessing. I know mine was, despite a couple of things: two hospital stays.
This post isn’t to ask for any sympathy or anything, but to explain where I’ve been. For those that noticed I’ve not been online much.
On the 15th, I had supper at Atlanta Bread Company in Columbus. I got sick. How sick? The store is now closed. Really. Apparently many Atlanta Bread Company stores have been closing during 2016, if my Google search is an indication.
Anyway, I got sick at work the next day, passed out, and they called EMS to take me to the hospital in Columbus. They released me that night. Unable to eat the entire weekend, I went to the doctor on Monday, and he sent me back to the hospital with specific instructions. They said I had an intestinal blockage. Stayed there for a few days, then was released after it was cleared. After spending Christmas eve with many of the grandchildren, on Christmas morning, I drove to southeast Georgia to spend time with the other grandchildren. And went back into the hospital that night.
After a few days, I was released and have appointments with my doctor and a surgeon this week. We’ll see how it goes.
So, despite spending many days in the hospital over the last half of December, I got to see all the grandchildren.
It was a good Christmas holiday.


Best wishes!
The body politic has similarly undergone much illness and convulsions lately, and will soon be getting rid of a blockage. And that’s what comes from swallowing anything from ABC.
Congratulations; you’re now a living analogy!

Bonus theory: your servers weren’t being monitored by Russians, were they?
Brilliant!
Suspicious. Time for lawyers, drugs and money (automatically assuming that you already have guns).
Scary stuff, reminds me of when my dad got sick. Take care of your self
Thank you.
Get better. God bless.
Thanks.
I’m praying that you don’t need surgery, and that, if you do, it goes smoothly. Be well.
I appreciate that. Thanks.
As super powers go getting Atlanta Bread company stores shut down doesn’t seem to be much but you have to go with what you got. Get better and be thankful that 2016 is finally over and just a few more days to liberation.
Thanks.
It’s a good man who can count his blessings while undergoing such trials. Have no doubt that we all think you are that, a good man. Thanks though for sparing us the worry but not our relief that you are doing better. Have a great new year Basil, and greater ones to come. Wishing you, Harvey and all the IMAO regulars the best, of blessings and life.
Thank you
I sure hope you signed up for Obamacare! He provided you ‘healthcare’!!11!! ***
I almost died from food poisoning from Burger King many years ago, haven’t set foot in one since so I feel your pain…and other nasty things. That was the worst experience of my life.

Thank you.
Basil is a man of few words but good deeds.
#MBGA!
Lies. You’ve been at Trump Tower getting interviewed for SCOTUS, haven’t you?
Your actions led to the closing of a dangerous place. And thanks to your fighting to get better in true warrior fashion, using social media to get the word out, justice will be done.
*cough*
You have chosen. Wisely.
Sorry to hear of your health problems. Of course, getting old does that. I know so well. Good luck and here’s hoping your blog runs a good deal longer. It is a bright spot in my day. Thanks from Cumming, GA.
Thank you.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Question, are you SURE it wasn’t actually The Atlanta Bread Concrete? Same initials, just wondering…
No, it was the Atlanta Botulism Company. And thanks for the good wishes.
Get back to your moon nuking ways soon.
Thank you
