Vilardi out with an enlarged spleen - update: dude recovered playing March 30

[leer2006]

He’s out indefinitely now according Bone’s being reported on TSN. That sucks.

For sure, enlarged spleen can take weeks to heal up... I think, my doctorate is in Art/History.

 

[PhilJets]

Thanks really bad for Villardi

and also for the JETS,
Jets attack are much better with him in the line up.

Will he be back for the playoffs? Or slim chance?

Good enough. You are now the official HF Jets team Dr.

 

[DRW204]

Everyone rightfully concerned about his spleen.

Meanwhile he has a whole other unrelated injury that has kept him out for weeks prior lol

And how is this funny?

you've never seen lol used for comedic relief?

Okay, I lied. I don't have a doctorate, but I did go to college for 6 years.

-itis refers to inflamed, -megaly is for enlarged

For example, hepatitis is a different condition than hepatomegaly

Thanks! I never knew that.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Horrible news about his enlarged spleen. Hopefully he can still stay in good humour...

Could an enlarged spleen cause pressure on a nerve in the spine?

(Question for our Art History major.)

No

 

[Rob Sense]

What worries me is that an enlarged spleen can be caused by infections or something worse like cancer.

unfortunately cancer is a frequent cause of enlarged spleen. I hope it is something else.

No, but you certainly could notice an asymptomatic enlarged spleen if you were, say, looking at an MRI of someone's spine (which would classify as an upper body injury that would preclude someone from skating)

Hopefully this is true...

Good stuff!

Lets hope for the best... Gabe V. is a great player and I really wish him well.

I believe Mono is as well, which could explain the extreme malaise working it's way through the Jets the past 4+ weeks.

 

[jungles]

Poor guy can't stay healthy. With apologies to Fallout Boy, "If it ain't a spleen, it's a god damn knee brace".

Came here to say I think that mono was going around the locker room. No good sources, just speculation.

 

[lawrence]

this is where the toffoli and Monahan trades will shine for the Jets. It's to bring in extra depth in case there are injuries.

Get well soon Gabriel.

We'd have had more than 1 player out with an enlarged spleen and mono itself would keep players out more that a game or two. Also it sounded like a stomach bug was going around the room. Norovirus has been running wild this winter out east. Could've brought it back from a road trip.

Mono isn't caused by airborne viruses. You can't "catch" it by being in the same room as someone. You have to swap bodily fluids, which is why it's called "the kissing disease".

I never said it was airborne. I figured it would have been from sharing drinks/bottles.

Yeah for sure, could have also been a stomach bug.

I grew up in a large family and we had a mono outbreak from what I would assume to be caused by sharing drinks (gross snotty kids). Most of us had hardly any symptoms (sick for a week like a regular flu), only found out because one sibling got it bad and was basically bed ridden for 6 months. Weird virus for sure!

Those guys don't share water bottles
