A quick note from Rich
Monday, Oct 19, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller * As Isabel has already told you, my surgery went well Friday. I’m feeling pretty good, considering. But I figure I’ll tire easily, so Isabel is in charge for the next few days. …Adding… I was just told they’re releasing me in a few hours. Hooray!

Great news! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
- FormerParatrooper - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 10:22 am:
Glad all went well. It always takes a little time to get your stamina back after surgeries and procedures. Take it easy and best wishes on recovery.
- Walker - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 10:45 am:
Can’t keep a good man down
- 47th Ward - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 10:49 am:
So glad it went well and you’re headed home.
- Irreverent - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:13 am:
Don’t trust that “feeling pretty good” too much too soon. Something makes me think you’re the sort to take “I don’t feel awful” as an opportunity to drive yourself until you feel awful.
- Leslie K - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:19 am:
Great news and wishing you a very speedy recovery. And it’s wonderful that you have such a great colleague in Isabel to make sure things keep running smoothly while you get back your stamina and strength.
- JS Mill - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:40 am:
Well wishes for a continued speedy recovery.
- Ann Dwyer - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:47 am:
Best wishes to you for a smooth, speedy and relatively pain-free recovery, Rich.
- Jak - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:52 am:
Terrific news, Rich! Glad they’re springing you today. Monica and I are sending you good vibes for a speedy recovery.
- Amalia - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 11:55 am:
Yay. sorry I missed sending wishes on Friday, I had a day. good that surgery is past. now you have a “new” body. you will learn things about yourself. take it easy, but take it (banned exclamation point)
- Boom Shaka - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:06 pm:
Good news for you and your family and friends for sure. I always tell my sons that no matter who or what the opponent, it can’t take your heart and will power from you so long as you stay in the ring. Keep punching away and never lay down.
- Jimmy H - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:18 pm:
Wishing you the best for your recovery.
- Wonderful World - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:27 pm:
Just recover - fully. We need you.
- jackmac - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:28 pm:
Glad all went well and you are heading home. A hospital is NOT a place for rest and recovery.
- Lagartha's Shield - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:34 pm:
Great news. Rest up and get well soon.
- Proud Sucker - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 12:40 pm:
“I hope Oscar takes good care of you.” Right there, that’s the best home nursing care available.
- Norseman - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 1:19 pm:
A healthy and well-rested Rich is what we want and need for IL political coverage. Get well soon.

Pet Oscar for us. And get well soon.

What Norseman said. Take care and heal well- we need you at fighting weight.

Great news.
- Interim Retiree - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 2:46 pm:
Heal well & heal fast, Rich - but not too fast. BTW: Isabel has done a great job while you’ve been busy, so don’t rush your recovery.
- Dotnonymous x - Monday, Oct 19, 26 @ 3:20 pm:
Isabel has it well covered.
