Or statesman Si Allen is in surgery as I type. (1145 PM eastern) He been complaining about back pain for days,, But it turns out to be much worse than that.
Aortic aneurysm in the abdomen. Been in surgery for 3 hours so far.. Marti, his honey is very concerned of course. They seem to be having trouble locating the tear. If he survives surgery he will likely be in intensive care for a few dsys at least.

This is realy shocking news. I haven't been able to fall asleep all night and decided to give up. It's not even 6am here in Ontario so there is nobody to call.
We talked with Si on Tuesday. It always takes 2 calls because I love to play a telemarketer. Barb pretended to be someone working for the Hillary team. She offered Si a ride to the polling booth. Those who know Si will understand how fast the phone went "Bang!"
WE're pullin for you Our Friend. If anyone gets new info, please give us a call at 519-787-2673

That was exactly what my dad suffered from. He has an unexplained back pain which the doctors eventually found out was an Aortic aneurysm in his lower groin area. He was 8 hours on the operating table but he came through it.
I am hopeful that since they have him theatre that Si will pull through. It's when it happens and it's not discovered fast enough is the problem. Sounds like they caught it in time.
Prayer are going up for you Si.

They found the tear, and repaired it. Si is out of surgery and in intensive care. The rapture didn't just blow open. Lucky old boy got just had a leaking tear so they were able to repair it. Now they have to do the wait and see part to make sure it holds.
Take care old friend.
