popartpete.com WEEKLY SEASIDE HEIGHTS NEWS MAGAZINE ON HIATUS UNTIL MARCH 1ST!
JUST LIKE CURIOUS GEORGE…
Pete recently has had to go the hospital.
Pete developed a peptic ulcer in the his stomach.
According to Ehow: “A stomach ulcer is basically a sore that occurs on the lining of the stomach. This type of ulcer is also known as a gastric or peptic ulcer. A person with a stomach ulcer will typically feel stomach pain when eating or drinking and might also frequently wake with stomach pain, feel heaviness and bloating, vomit and experience weight loss. When a stomach ulcer goes untreated and becomes severe, the person may see traces of blood in their bowel movements or when they vomit.”
Pete experienced all these symptoms, and then some.
BECAUSE, HOWEVER…..
Many of Pete’s readers and friends know he has had a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, which complicated matters some more.
AT LEAST GEORGE was given something for his anxiety.
IBUPROFEN has been blamed as the cause of the ulcer.
THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK for Pete’s ulcer episode was the prescription strength ibuprofen he was given to limit inflammation the abscess that formed late last month on his right middle finger. CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF Pete did not develop this affliction from flipping the bird to anyone!
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, for which Pete had surgery in 1999, has also returned in his right hand, causing constant pain, and this also led to the use of ibuprofen and NSAIDS. PETE WILL PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE SURGERY FEBRUARY 6TH.
PETE’S PRESCRIPTION:
1. Nexium
2. Avoid Spicy Foods.
3. Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or other NSAIDs.
4. REST, REST, REST!!!
ALL THIS MEANS THAT…

Rumor has it that this is all a big coverup because you were actually a patient in the Betty Ford Clinic.
