And Joe Flanigan goes under the knife

[wraithfodder]

Earlier in April (the 9^th), Joe Flanigan mentioned in an interview on “Ferocious Planet” at (http://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/2011/04/09/joe-flanigan%E2%80%99s-master-class-in-fighting-monsters-on-%E2%80%9Cferocious-planet%E2%80%9D-and-injuries-on-the-mountain-trails/) : ““Right now, I’m currently a beat up adventurer,” he says. “I separated my shoulder in a mountain biking accident. I was coming down a single track trail at a furious speed – I just got brand new handle bars that were extra long – they snagged a branch and they just kind of threw me over and I landed on my back. I actually feel pretty damn lucky that it’s just an AC separation and not something more serious.” Ooh, ouch, and geez, I swear, only a guy would keep do sports with the injury !

Well, now today, April 27^th, he tweeted:

 

@JoeFlanigan: Snuck a little single malt scotch into the IV.  Snuck a little single malt scotch into the IV. http://t.co/Wqzzhua  [that's a photo of him in hospital]

 

and

 

@JoeFlanigan: Going under knife right now. See you all on the otherside of the gate  Going under knife right now. See you all on the otherside of the gate http://t.co/HLbdRTF  [his pointy shoulder!]

 

To which David Hewlett said:

@dhewlett: @JoeFlanigan sure, sure, your shoulder operation...or as I call it "youth-ing". You're the Joan Rivers of space! - Hewlett for good luck!

Oh, ouch *cringes in sympathy* He looks a little nervous in that first pick, poor boo. Hope all goes well for him.

Yup, hopefully we'll get a good tweet back from him tomorrow. Oh wait, right shoulder. Hmm, might not tweet for a little while. Alas, I know little about shoulder surgery and if you can type afterwards.
