| Blogger Tim Blair to undergo surgery |
| 2008-01-14 |
| Feeling poorly for some time. Saw a doctor a few weeks ago, who sent me to a specialist, who booked me into hospital for tests. ItÂ’s cancer. Major abdominal surgery next week. If all goes well, the remaining non-cancerous section of me will be home by early-mid February. No idea yet how long a full recovery might take beyond then. Medical advice is very positive, but that wouldnÂ’t count for much in the absence of care and love from family and friends. IÂ’ve been overwhelmed. IÂ’m lucky. Luckier than I ever knew. Usual posting to continue shortly. If, like me, you're a fan of Tim's pithy punditry and dry Aussie humour, drop by the blog, register, leave him a getwell-soon comment, and click through the ads to generate him a bit of revenue. (AFAIK, he doesn't have a PayPal tipjar.) |

| #3 PayPal button - upper left-hand corner, just below his name. I clicked on the ad, too. |

| #2 Agreed Rob; that and the fact that 3 of my family have had this damn disease is why my wife and i are active in our local Relay for Life. Yes this is a pitch; get involved and see just how much of the $$ raised goes to research and not 'admin expenses.' something like over 88% nationwide. |

| #1 Fuck, fuck, fuck. Sent Tim my well-wishes. This is just Wrong. Too many of the good people are getting sick, while the evil bastards seem to hang on forever. |
