I'm in good shape, discomfort minimal, but I am low in stamina and my vocal range is a little proscribed, so we'll see how that goes. Barring any setbacks my big return will be Thursday [or] Friday... Either way I plan to be back on Football Night on Sunday."-MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, to mediabistro.com, on how he's holding up following an emergency appendectomy this past Friday.
Apparently the Countdown host takes the term "workaholic" to a new level. According to a spokesperson at MSNBC, Olbermann's appendix actually ruptured Wednesday, but, chalking it up to a stomach ache, he pushed through and delivered the Thursday night analysis of President Bush's Iraq war speech.
Yikes!
