Zen said his surgery was scheduled for yesterday and he was told he may be spending up to almost 2 weeks in the ICU... well I talked to CHRIS (ICU NURSE) who told me she'd pass a message to him so apparently he made it through surgery and is recovering. I an not family and couldn't prove it over the phone anyway so I couldn't get any further info on his status and the nurse confirmed, as I expected, that there are no phones in the ICU itself so as long as he's there we cannot call him directly. Also we don't want to be disrupting the ICU staff too much as they may have several critical patients at any given time so if anyone else wants to call you might get together and coordinate it first so we're not all bothering them and be sure and post what you find out here.

Good idea. If you get a chance before I do... pass on my best wishes.
