Well, Merry Easter all. Anyone want tea? It continues to snow and it is really piling up. It's -5oC now with a -10oC windchill and it's going down to -12oC tonight. Really, where did that Easter Bunny hide Spring? Oh well, a cup of hot tea will hit the spot!

QOP, I was just watching the 11pm news and it showed all the snow you have there. OMDog, I can't believe the weather you've been having.

Hey barkeep, I thing QOP needs a special chair beside the fire to warm her tootsies.

Richard was admitted to the hospital yesterday and had surgery on his foot today and probably has lost all the toes on his left foot.

Richard..... Are you still in hospital??? Do you have internet there??? Where can I call you???

[Medusa]

I should check this thread more often, I guess. I'm sorry to read about Richard and his surgery. Major prayers are going up for him and Edster. Who is taking care of Ed?

[RICHARD]

Prayers and good thoughts to RICHARD! Where is the Edster, his cat??? Thanks for informing us about this.

The Edster is fine and living in the Master Bedroom. I have to keep the door closed because my dog Tucker hasn't yet figured out he is going to have to share.

Just came from the hospital and things seem to be going well. They want to keep him for a few more days to make sure the infection is completely gone.

I'll be sure to pass along all your good wishes when I go back this afternoon.

Good wishes and a promise to kick his butt when he gets out of the hospital.

BTW, you could get your own PT account......sounds like you meet the requrements, being a human servant to a fuzzball.

Special thanks to you for taking such good care of Richard and the Edster.
When you see him, please tell him how sorry I am that all of this has happened to him. I hope he will be on the mend and up and walking soon.

OMG!!! Richard are we going to need to send orc to keep watch over you until you are better? He can wait on you when your friend isn't able to be there. Bet Orc would look cute in a nurses outfit!!!

Thank you Richard's friend for letting us know about Richard and Edster.

Thanks Slick, really need that warm up today. It was -12oC with a -17oC windchill this morning. Even tea didn't warm me up this morning after I got to work. We're currently still below zero at -2 with a -5 windchill. Will this winter EVER end??

Richard, hope you're feeling better and out of hospital very soon.

Gayle, how about some warm cinnamon rice pudding? With or without raisins? That might do the trick! And another Drink of the Week!

Sounds awesome Karen. Going to need some anti-freeze for the trek home after work today.

Excellent, I'll serve some to you, and have some myself! Anyone else?

Just checking back before returning to the hospital, wanted to make sure I had printed out all your good wishes.

Richard does not have internet access, apparently hospitals frown on use of electronic devices. He does have a phone - the number is (502) 562-4907. It does ring directly to his room, but he shares it w/ a room-mate. We are on Eastern Daylight time, if that makes any difference.

[Karen]

Read him the riot act, and tell him we are all praying for him, too! Dagnabbit, Richard, your toes are your friends, be nice to the ones you've still got, okay?

[Pinot's Mom]

Richard, you get yourself better, y'hear? Prayers for a quick recovery. ....and "Richard's friend"....what should we call you? Thanks for keeping us posted!

Yes, the friend of our friend is our friend too!!!

We are in for more storms tonight and tomorrow so I'll grab a cherry rootbeer and head off for the night.

Prayers are on the way for you Richard. Don't forget that!!! Sounds like you have a very nice friend.

My mother named me Doris (and no not after Doris Day, after her favorite waitress at a diner in Baltimore).

Richard says, "To Every One, feeling fine, gonna get better soon. Thanks for all well wishes and will keep you posted."

I want to add my thanks to his. You can't know how much your support has meant to him. After all, he is in a strange town and only knows me and my dog. You've helped him not feel so alone.

Although he has cut quite the swath thru the nursing staff. Tonite, the nurse who checked him in on the floor Sat had to come by and make sure that I'm good enough for him. She's not his nurse tonite, but made a point of stopping by. She is also a parent of a white Maine Coon, so they have that in common.
