[RICHARD]

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

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.

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.

Welcome Doris!!! So nice to meet you!!! Thank you for taking care of our Richard and Eddie and for keeping us updated about them.

Tell Richard the prayers will continue and he best get better soon. We want you both here on Pet Talk should you care to join us.

Now Richard, what are you trying to do? Fix the Edster up with a new little friend? Who is this Maine Coon - white like Eddie?

I am going to see if we can sneak one of the drinks of the week from Thursdays into your room. Hospitals aren't real keen on alcoholic drinks, but we will tell him our Ms. Karen made it - hee hee.

Richard you do know that you can try to slip out of California - but we followed you..............

Seriously (well at least for one moment) candles will be lighted for your improved healing and good health.

I just spoke with Richard. God it was good to hear his voice and he sounded very upbeat. "Things could be worse....."

In good 'ole Richard fashion, he's keeping the nurses entertained and I might add, he kept me entertained too.

Doris, you'd better come back here at least once a day to keep us updated and while you are at it, how about creating an account of your own and joining our lovely family.

Get better Richard and know that we love you.

So in honour of Richard, I'll take a nice cold beer.
