And also as a reply in the large ongoing thread on Andy's surgery here:

Late in the latter thread DUer bettyellen posted: "He's out after 7 hours and groggy........
the docs say please leave him be- no phone calls until saturday."

Thanks Brad for the update and Andy, you're in our thoughts & prayers.

Love & Light

I echo what Kira says above.

Wishing Andy a speedy and full recovery.

More light & love streaming out to you Andy!

Thanks Brad

I join those who send best wishes to Andy!!

Andy is a treasure. Our love and healing thoughts go out to him

Thanks for the update Brad
And I wish Andy comfort and strength.

Thanks, Brad, for letting us know.
Hopes that his spirit of hope and strength will see him in good stead.

Andy had a DUer ( "goodboy" ) in his hospital room pass on a brief message to all his supporters tonight after his surgery. Here's the DU thread:

Thread title: A MESSAGE FROM ANDY...TO EVERYONE! PLEASE READ!>>>

(By the way, this is by my count the fourth Andy thread today at DU, and all of them are filled with love and good wishes.)

Andy stayed at our place for the Nashional Election Reform Conference in Nashville. He is a delightful fellow and a real patriot, as evidenced by the fact that he attended our event despite failing health. Our family wishes him all the best vibes and visions. We know a dude with his spirit will make the big comeback.

Special heart-felt thanks and good wishes - Andy has been a tower of strength for us here in the Northwest

Another great scoop brad.
