piratesownninjas Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 No but it means most likely out for the season....enter rookie quarterback Gradkowski. I heard it would be around 6 weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Fixed. Note: I wish no harm on him and hope he has a full and speedy recovery, but I have ALWAYS despised Simms the player Why don't you put me on your ignore list because you are a major league chalupa for going there while the guy is in surgery. Your little note is BS, prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Nicely played. No, Tedy flew down to Tampa a preformed the surgery before tonights kick-off. Edited September 25, 2006 by PantherDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 No but it means most likely out for the season.... That's a little pesimistic I think. Most medical websites say anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks for a complete recovery. Even if you take the high end of that and add a few weeks to get back into shape, he'd still be back by the end of the season. Also note those same websites said 4 weeks for an emergency appendectomy and you-know-who came back in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBalla Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The spleen's job description includes: filtering out foreign organisms that infect your blood removing your old or damaged platelets and red blood cells storing extra blood and releasing it as needed forming some types of white blood cells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBalla Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) The outcome varies with the underlying disease or the extent of other injuries. Complete recovery from the surgery itself should be anticipated, in the absence of other severe injuries or medical problems. All patients undergoing splenectomy should be vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia. Consult your physician regarding an appropriate vaccination regimen. In addition, some physicians recommend vaccinations against other types of bacteria, and, especially in the case of children, long-term treatment with antibiotic drugs to prevent post-splenectomy sepsis. Long-term antibiotic use is usually not necessary in adults. However, any patients who have had a splenectomy should seek medical attention for even seemingly minor illnesses, such as sinus infections or sore throats, as the health care provider may wish to prescribe antibiotics. Recovery from the operation should be rapid. Hospitalization is usually less than a week (1-2 days for laparoscopic splenectomy), and complete healing should occur within 4 to 6 weeks.

Grits and Shins Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Its not Simms fault the play calling and o line sucks. Im not saying he's played great, but its not like Grudens game plan is setting him up for anything other than failure. And while there at it, they might as well bench Cadillac as well... Nonsense I say. I disagree ... Simms has never been able to win a big game. He sucked in college and sucks in the NFL. The only reason we are even having this discussion is because of who his daddy is ... if he isn't a "favored son" he's flipping burgers somewhere.

I was going to pick him up and start him next week as a tribute for taking the punishment that we all love. Alchico...I changed my mind. Sorry...

Pope Flick Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 What ... we can't give an assessment of his piss poor career simply because he is hurt. Consider it done ... you are now ignored. Not 'hurt' as in twisted ankle, but 'hurt' as in surgery requiring a blood transfusion after being listed in critical condition. There's a time and place for everything, and sure you can say whatever you feel but it doesn't make you less of an chalupa for it. Funny how a guy proud of staking his position puts people on ignore when theirs doesn't jibe with his. I feel refreshed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 OMG ... you guys are RIGHT ... now that Simms has had to go through a life saving surgery requiring a blood transfusion where he was listed in critical condition that puts his whole career in a NEW perspective. His passer rating of 40.0 (career 71.4) is AWESOME His career 17 INTs to 12 TDs ratio is IMPRESSIVE The fact that he NEVER won a big game at UT is WONDERFUL Interesting how a ruptured spleen puts a whole new perspective on his career.
