Don't forget to send again as the day passes.  It gets lonely in a hospital room.

Henry, the image to be selected is among the pictures from the near top of the page.

I heard the lady on the phone say 7E41.  What she said was 7-E-4-1.  The 1 was the bed number which is unnecessary as there is only one bed in the room.

The correct information is:

None delivered yet but some hospitals don't employee the people who do that on weekends.  I asked a nurse to see if she could track those down.

Ron texted me that as he sat waiting for release (to travel home to Kentucky) Guest Services walked in with an inch thick pile of get well notes.  He has limiting typing capability right now and for a while so he will not be able to thank each one as he would like to but I told him I would alert the board.

You have done well and encouraged Ron during this trying time.

For what it's worth, with Ron at home a personal message will get to him.  If he looks on the board he will see it there but even if he doesn't he will get an email with the message.

I want to thank each and every person who responded to this thread in one way or another.   It warms my heart.    Thank you for all the get well wishes, prayers, calls and texts.

A special thank you to those two who were actually able and made the effort to come visit me.    Won't lie about it.    Hospitals suck and I was hurting.     Those cards, wishes and visits were something to hold on to.    Special thanks to Willow and O2S.    I can't tell you how much those visits meant.  

Still only have full use of four fingers on my right hand so typing this ain't easy.     The left side of me is so burgered up or broke bones, it is useless.   But that will change with another surgery and time.

Have been having a bit of fun with this.   Just went by my primary care doc's office.    I hobbled in.   The receptionist who knows me didn't recognize me.   My nose is rubbed raw.     She asked what happened and I told her in a very low voice that I would no longer complain about my wife's cooking.     2funny

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.    smitten
