Okay, don’t make a fuss. I’m in the hospital. I always had this funky heart valve. Well, a piece of it fell off, and now I need to get it fixed.
I’ll be gone for a while, and then I’ll be back. At least that’s the plan.
Don’t go away. I need the company.
As Gene Hackman said in Hoosiers:
“I love you guys.”
Earl.
Thanks for letting us addicted followers know.
ReplyDeleteYou'll certainally be missed.
Praying for a speedy and full recovery!
Hope you get well soon Earl and they leave your funny bone intact!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you get well soon.
ReplyDeleteWe'll still be here when you return -- get well soon!
ReplyDeleteBack at ya. What the heck is going on here? First Diane Rehm falls and breaks her pelvis, and now you! Look out Howard Stern, these things come in threes.
ReplyDeleteTo help you through it just remember John Adams' famous last words, "Larry King survives?" Or to paraphrase Mel Brooks, the secret to avoiding something like this is to stay out of a canoe or any small Italian car. Take your time. While you're off we're all starting a Proust.
Take care and Godspeed, Earl.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Earl
ReplyDeleteJust like a great writer to leave us with a cliffhanger. Best of luck and get well soon! (Can't wait for your hospital stories).
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of us readers and taking the time to let us know. We would have been worried... Still are, actually, but now we know WHY.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Best wishes. Godspeed. All that...
Oh, and we'll expect three new sitcom ideas set in medical/hospital facilities as a result.
;-)
Our mornings will not be the same until you return. And neither will yours. I'll be praying for you, your doctors and your family. Hope that doesn't offend anyone :-)
ReplyDeleteI demand that you heal promptly.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on a fast recovery all the way from the Great White North.
ReplyDeleteMy best wishes on a speedy recovery, Earl!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for a quick procedure and a speedy recovery. You will be missed in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest up, Earl! My mornings won't be the same until you come back ... Best wishes to you and Dr. M ...
ReplyDeleteI've been told that the secret to recovering from this type of surgery is being determined in advance that you WILL recover and to what extent.
ReplyDeleteAs Major McGillis would say: Semper Fi.
We'll carry the water until you get back.
Earl
ReplyDeleteget well soon

Hi Earl,
ReplyDeleteAs a long-time lurker, I had to come out into the light because I wanted to wish you the very best of recoveries. You - and your amazing blog - will be missed, so please return to us soon, okay?
Karen
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Will definitely be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteAnd missing you while gone.
Get back soon. I need more stories!
ReplyDeleteEarl, Best Wishes from the writing staff of "Family Guy". In honor of your heart valve replacement, tomorrow we will order dinner from "Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles." Get well soon... or whenever the hell you damn well please.
ReplyDeleteOn the next Earl Pomerantz: Just Thinking...
ReplyDeleteEarl: Uh nurse, are you sure these gowns are supposed to be open like this? It's a bit....drafty.
Nurse: Uhm, the open part goes in the back Mr. Pomerantz.
Earl, get well soon. We're thinking good thoughts and we'll all be here waiting.
I hope you get well soon. We'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Earl and looking forward to more laughs on your return.
ReplyDeletecheers
David.
I hope your healing time is uncomplicated and safe and boring enough for you to get up and go.
