Sad Update:
He pulled through. Now we’ll have to endure more posts like Lego Hawking.
BFH,
It’s alive, said Johnny Five
-“Pogo”
I hadn’t heard from Pogo in about a month. The last thing he sent in was Lego Hawking-
I received an email from him this morning. He’s messed up and needs us to send some good wishes into the ether.
He’s in the hospital. He went in for surgery to replace a worn out part that he had done years ago. Routine.
One thing (hospital screw-ups) led to another, and another, and another and now he’s in banged up shape. He actually sent me a “good-bye” email thanking me for the site, etc., that’s how much his head is spinning.
I called him and he sounds strong, but groggy, because he’s being prepped for a surgery that had absolutely nothing to do with the original reason he went in for.
And so no one has to ask, yes, this is in FLORIDA!!! (They truly suck hard down here.) ((I hope they don’t discharge him from the hospital looking like the Hawking Lego.)) (((Don’t bristle. If Pogo reads that he will laugh.)))
To Pogo, get well soon.
Stay strong Pogo! We need to keep all the good guys we can.
Thanks for letting us know, Fur. The ether is going to be filled up with well-wishes.
Hang in there, Pogo. Love you and praying for you!
Pogo, I’m going boldly before The Throne Of The Nazarene and ask that you be completely healed after I post.
The IOTW family is with you, Pogo.
Get well soon, Pogo! Sending prayers and good wishes! We need you here. <3
Hangeth in there, Pogo! Prayers and much love!
Break a(nother) leg, Pogo!
Pogo – here’s hoping you are back up on your sticks real soon! Much love sent your way from the iotw family!!!
Amen to all the above! 🙏
Anonymous was me, Tuesday. *sigh*
All the best to you, Pogo! Prayers for a speedy recovery!
Lots of love and prayers coming your way, Pogo! xxx
Praying for strength and healing, Pogo. Hurry back.
Having a Pogo pray-a-thon. Get well fast!
Dear PogoSticks — I hope you are soon able to use your namesake! Praying for a successful surgery, recovery and good health for you.
Hang in there Pogo! Wishing you all the best. 👍👍 Get well soon!
Get well Pogo, it seems that a lot of things are coming to a head and the conservatives need all sharp ons on the line.
Praying for you Pogo. Be strong. You can make it through this mess!
Here’s praying you get the zingm back in your spring.
Zingm???
Sending prayers.
Buck up, little Buckaroo!
(I said that to my wife when she was in hospital, and she told me to go perform an impossibility … on myself)
izlamo delenda est …
Yes, the proper grammar would have been
Zingm in your springm.
Hell, a few more days of this & I’ll have to change my name to “Windowscreen, due to all of the holes they’ve been poking in me.
I’m not giving up the “Ghost”as it is, because I want to get well enough to be able to squeeze the “Sweet Cheeks” an about 6 nurses here.
Besides, I’ve been in & out hospitals so much of my life, I look at them as a “Home Away From Home” anyway.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
all the kings horses and all the Kings men
Put Pogo together again and again
Doctors said it was this, then said it was that
What are we missing ? I know a Chat
A chat with Fur Hat,an his troops gathered round
an said Have a Speedy recovery an get well soon!
POGO just remember be good to the nurses, it’s their job to keep the doctors from killing you! 🙂
We’re pullin’ for you buddy, get well and stay out of hospitals!
my wish is that every congresscritter have the same great health care that Pogo has experienced …. tenfold
well wishes & prayers coming your way Pogo
Pogo, glad to see your comment, and that you are keeping your humor through this trying time. I am praying for a complete and QUICK recovery!
I didn’t know they could replace that part. Hope you bounce back quickly, Pogo.
Get thee back to robust health and a vigor that defies explanation!
It’s hard to kill a possum when they fool you so much.
Stay safe, best wishes, get well.
You go, Pogo. Okefenokee Swamp needs you back.
What – too esoteric a reference?
Oh, well – some other dinosaurs might get it.
As well as a certain alligator…
🙂
I am taking a knee on this one–praying for recovery for you and that you can get the hell out of there as soon as possible. We need you back here, Pogo.
Just do what the Docs and Nurses say (especially the Nurses) and you’ll be home and healthy in no time.
BTW Vietvet. Too esoteric? “We have met the enemy, and he is us”
Wishing you a speedy recovery on a short path to health.
And prayers.
God bless you and yours Pogo. Prayers Love.
Don’t insult anyone with a sharp object in their hand. Wait till they are finished first. Ha.
I loved your Lego Hawkins! I saved it off and each time I see it, it always makes me laugh.
Hurry and get well. It’s not the same around here without you.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
Get well POGO… prayers coming your way!
Your IOTW friends are praying or hoping for a speedy recovery! Your Lego Hawkins was a masterpiece!
looks lie I’m now in “Countdown Mode”. Supposed to be grabbing their “Guinea Pig” in a few. I just hope the meat cleavers and saws are sharp & they don’t have to chew their way in.
“Lego Hawkins” was posted in an article here several weeks ago. All I did was add the words.
THE “BODY SNATCHERS’ HAVE INVADED. Catch you all on the flip side & at worst, it’s been a real pleasure knowing everyone here.
Get well soon, Pogo! As you can see above, you are well loved and have an army of prayers going up for you. God bless you.
‘Body Snatchers’? Whatever you do, Pogo, DON’T FALL ASLEEP!
Pogo, may your sticks be grafted with a mighty oak! Either that, or put them in water so they sprout!
Praying for your healing. May God bless your socks off.
Hang in there, Pogo!!!
Prayers are poppin’ up around here, like the little critters in Gopher Town!
Get well soon and chase them nurses.
You hang in there Pogo. Prayers and well wishes for your speedy and to
ease the burden on your friends and family.
Get outta there real quick!
Here are fervent wishes for a satisfactory outcome, Pogo!
Anybody who takes the name of my favorite possum is A-OK in my book. I grew up reading Kelly’s strip and have very fond memories of the whole Okefenokee family, especially Porkypine. Believe it or not, I once knew the man that Kelly used as a model for ol’ Porky and the resemblance was well-crafted!
BTW, @BFH, you wrote:
That ain’t grammar! That there’s spellingm!
Looking forward to seeing your first post-hospital post.
Pogo, I am also praying for a full and rapid recovery.
You have lots of prayer warriors here. The battle is already won! 👍
We are rooting for you Pogo! Keep your chin up. May Jesus see you through.
9:00 PM approaching here in EST. Instead of tuning in the National Feces League we’re having a prayer for brother Pogo.
May God guide your doctors and I hope for a speedy recovery.
Prayers sent.
Speedy recovery Pogo.
I’m praying for your full recovery Pogo.
Thank you for letting us know Fur.
God bless and a speedy recovery Pogo!!!
With all the good will, good wishes, and prayers sent your way, you have to know you’re not alone.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
We’re rooting for you, Pogo.
I meant to post last night to wish you a successful (as in still being alive and all) surgery. Now I wish you a good recovery. I look forward to seeing your comments and updates. All the best, plus prayers.
Yay! He bounced back!
Whew! Great news! Get better fasterer, Pogo!
You just can’t keep Pogo down!
Great news!
Prayers continuing for speedy recovery. Feel great fastest.
Oh, yay! I will gladly read more “Lego Hawking” posts to keep Pogo around!
Seriously, I’m glad you are better Pogo!
Wonderful news, Pogo! Don’t try to do too much right away! 🙂
Good Luck Pogo, the Great God of the Dice will come down on your side and even things out and you’ll be out of there soon enough.
Great news! To get out of jail free all you need to do is threaten to pop your Foley bag.
Great news! 😀
Great news!
The doc must have used a new rattle and fresh fresh leeches this time. Glad to hear you made it through, Pogo. Take it easy, and enjoy flying the bed with your pain meds. Here’s to thorough recovery!
Pogo, wishing you speedy recovery, friend!
Glad to hear! Keep on healing/truckin.
Pogo, good to hear you’re recovering. IOTWr prayer warriors don’t mess around. God bless and get well soon.
If you think you’re getting better now, just wait until you get the bills.
Hang tough, you have met the enemy, and he’s you.
