Oh no! I just saw this thread. I'll add my (((hugs))) and support.

Thank HEAVENS you're headed to the hospital! Please check back in with us as soon as you can. We'll be worrying!

I hope and pray things go more smoothly with Paddy Bear when you get back. I feel bad for him, b/c it must be so hard to adjust to new environments when you don't have all of your senses working for you. But I feel worse for you, both for the pain of the injury, and the discouragement. Hang in there!
