UPDATE 12/16/2-14 @ 11:24 AM EST

HB just called me......

Fred called HB last night late and here is what I can report:

There seems to be a blockage. Not uncommon in these cases. Doc's are doing what they do to resolve this from the TOP and BOTTOM. Fluids and enemas.(Not fun) So bottom line (pun intended again :sick: ) is Fred is in rough shape but still kicking ass and taking names. Hard to keep this salty ole farming dog down.

I would like to ask everyone to please keep our beloved FF in your thoughts and prayers.

There was mention of an MRI but not while FF still has staples in his belly of course. As soon as I or HB knows more we will of course let you know.

This reminds me of the M.A.S.H. episode where they have to give an enema to Col. Potter's constipated horse ? The part where Hawkeye turns and say's,... "Take your loved ones to high ground." :shock:

Hope "everything works out" ok and that your better soon, Fred !!!!!

We miss you Fred. They will find the right thing to get you moving and when they do remember... Love is a truly wonderful thing but nothing beats the feeling of finding a toilet when you have the runs.
