Why not just bust a window, climb in, and then explain to the cops you're actually cleaning the place up (NOT out!) for a friend in the hospital?

I bet it would be a real surprise!

It's really good that he should get into rehab - although what I said about being out of 'hospital' still applies. That way he gets the best of both worlds which we all know he deserves.

Watch out for the physio terrorists Sev. You may be able to teach them a few new words (invent some if needs be). Make the most of the extended care and don't rush to be out.

Lots of love and hug

Art, when I was in Korea I carried an "in case of war" MOS of -- Bridge Sergeant with the engineers.

I went down to see the 1st Sgt. when the EC-121 was shot down, just to give him the good news that if the worst came I was his!

"What's your primary MOS?" he asked.

"11B40," I replied.

"Hmmm...well, if war breaks out just stay out of our way, alright?"



(MOS = Military Occupational Specialty. 11B40 = Light Weapons Infantryman.)

Surrounded by beautiful young women who cater to his ever wish and need? Who feed him peeled grapes and roasted hummingbird tongues and pickled dormice and stuff like that and provide the finest wines to drink? Who care only for his body and "do" him regularly in ways he never before thought of?

And he needs good wishes??????

Rap? What in the world are you going on about? Sev is in rehab not a whore house. SHees. And even if he were in a whore house, he still hurts too much to care about peeled grapes, pickled dormice, or getting done. Actually, getting overdone is what got him into this mess in the first place.

Actually, if Sev is lucky (and he might be if he is going to a university-affiliated facility), there might be student nurses around. Student nurses are cute...kinda like kittens. If he is really lucky, the staff PT will be male - all female PTs are named Cruella. Their training is focused upon reaching beyond mere pain into the realms of pure agony. Did I mention that herself is an OT?

Severn is in Rehab at Layhill Center on Bel Pre Road in Silver Spring. We think that he will be there about a week. His current telephone number is 301-603-7011. I am trying to circle the wagons of family and friends to help with his care when he gets home.

Can't believe all the cards that I took home for him from the hospital. Thank you again. You guys are amazing.

I found this Oirish blessing on the web! - honest!

May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to be home, may you find your way.
May you always have courage to take a chance
And never find frogs in your underpants.

and...   this little cautionary tale

Lura, the Countess of Killarney, was on a world tour with her husband, the Count. They were staying at an Intourist hotel on the edge of the Ural Mountains and were scheduled to begin an escorted horseback tour of the area early the next morning. Lura had developed a good tan a month earlier on the beach at Nice, but now she noticed that it was beginning to fade. Not having anything scheduled after lunch, she took a blanket and wandered off in search of a secluded spot where she could touch up the tan a bit.

Unfortunately, Lura failed to realize that at high attitudes the rays of the sun were much more damaging than at sea level. Even worse, she fell asleep. She awoke, feeling rather uncomfortable. Dressing gingerly, she limped back to the hotel to have her husband assess the damages and the prospects for the morrow.
After one look he delivered his verdict: ....
"Tour all Ural, Lura? Too raw, Lura. Lie."

well it's almost folksong! :)
