SICKBAY UPDATE

Back in May Guy Tringali, M Division 1950-1954 had a colostomy procedure.

On November 2, Guy went back in the hospital for a colostomy reversal procedure.
What started out as a simple procedure, became a little complicated.

Because of scar tissue they had to cut open his stomach again and were still
having trouble getting the colon together because of the scar tissue.
At long last they did get the colon together. He was in intensive care for a few days and not able to eat.
As of November 8, Guy was moved out of intensive care and placed in a room.

Hopefully he is on his way to a full recovery.
