[RICHARD]

I'm not actually Richard, I'm his KY connection. I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but 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. I don't know if he mentioned that he had injured his foot while clearing out his mom's house, that was about a month ago. He thought he could treat it himself and somehow managed to get here from Cali w/a majorly infected foot. It took me 4 days to talk him into seeing a doctor. The good news is they managed to save most of the foot and w/some heavy duty antibiotics the infection should be eradicated.

He definitely hasn't lost his sense of humor. There's not a female that he's not flirted w/ and not a male who hasn't walked away from him w/ a smile on his face.

OMG - what a terrible thing to happen. Learning to walk again without toes will be a major challenge, but I'm sure he will persevere - but why are men so darned stubborn to begin with?? Please tell him that I was asking for him, and I'm sending prayers out for a speedy recovery.

[Karen]

Oh, ouch! Richard, you need to take better care of YOU! Who will spoil the Edster if you do not?

(banging head on desk) Richard! Yikes! Please take good care!

Hey Doris....you might have a bit of trouble getting Richard to leave the nurses and 3 square meals a day routine.....hee hee.
Tell him from Wombat, to get himself well.

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.

[Lady's Human]

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.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

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.

[Queen of Poop]

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.
