I just hope he hasn't burnt all his new hair off. That would be a real b*&&^r.

Get well. That's an order. I've got some new songs for you to introduce to the States.

Hi Severn, hopefully you'll be able to read this direct from the forum. We've just heard about your awful accident and send our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Don't forget to do what the nurses tell you and you'll do fine. Nothing worse than a grumpy nurse I can tell you !! ( It takes one to know one!!) Moira and Malc. xx

I am sev-erely displeased with your current plot to gain sympathy rather than weight. Sev-enfold blessings are winging their way to cheer you up and out of bed. I'd planned to enclose some healing aloe, cold tea, cucumber, and honey, but the envelope kept leaking.

Cool waters and warm regards,

Card on its way out the door, signed by my grandson, Morgan, no less. (When he asked who the card was for he wanted to know if he could make one,too. We compromised with his signature on the one I did.:-)

Thanks, Sister Emily, Chance and BillD for keeping us up to date.

Pretty soon, we'll be singing...Heal be comin' round the mountain when he comes, heal be comin' round the mountain when... or, maybe Heal-ya ho, boys, that's the way boys, Heal round there over to Severn, Heal-ya ho, boys, let her go-o boys, over to Severn in healinggalay. (Mingalay will never sound the same!):-)

Let us know if it hurts too much to laugh!

I got a GREAT card today. And I bought a Lotto 6/49 ticket for tonight. If I win, I will deliver the card in person.

On the oft chance that I don't win the big bucks, I deerly hope that the Emily post includes my best wishes for a speedy recovering.

PS... Obonga said he is gonna research stem cell technology, right, eh? So, like, man, you might be able to get a prescription for the miracle marywanna without the stems. Might help the pain reseed.

Yeah... poor attempt. Whatever.

You just get better.

Geez, Severn,
When Jane Fonda said "Go for the burn," this is NOT what she meant!

You are truly one of the sweetest, most generous people I know, and you certainly did not deserve something like this happening (no matter how 'pun-ishing' you can be at times). ; )

I'll send you a card and a CD to help cheer you up.

Now, be a good little puppy (like bobad says), and HEAL!

Warmest wishes for that to be fully and fast.

Sinsull,

I'll request an update.

I posted an address for cards, not telephone numbers, since I'm a friend not a relative and didn't want to compromise any restrictions.

His cousin is a friend and emails to me.

I know he'll love the cards, and if I can visit I'll bring a copy of this thread. I'll email a link to his cousin as well.

The hospital website specifically asks that only one designated family member call the hospital daily for info. The care required in a burn unit is pretty intense and they prefer to spend their time with the patients.
Not a criticism - I found it when thinking of calling for an update. Severn is unlikely to be near a phone - infection being a real threat.
So where is Chance getting his info? And can we request an update?

Don't you know there are enough people getting fired in this economy without you doing it to yourself? I don't want to needle you, but I hope the nurses are keeping you smiling with some good painkillers there in the Halls of I.V. Not to poke too much fun, but they do get behind in their work. (These jokes would be funnier with some rim shots)

Seriously, get well soon old buddy. All good thoughts directed your way!

Is this Severn of the horrible, rotten, stinky puns? One after another, without stop? Punishing puns, as it were?

I am willing to bet real money (payable to Mudcat) that those nurses will pull out all of the stops, those doctors will try every trick in the book, just to get some relief from the PUNS. I bet he's out of there in three weeks. :-)

Severn, we've never met, we've exchanged a couple of PMs. I think you were a contributor to a couple of projects supporting one of our other awful punsters, Art Thieme. (Geez, can you imagine if the two of them shared a hospital room? The medical staff would be the ones all in stitches. . . )

Take care, get well soon, and if I can find a reasonably suitable card, I will send one your way.

My great aunt, Evelyn McCullough, was for many years a private care nurse at Johns Hopkins. She had the most wonderful stories to tell about all of the years she worked for patients there. It does sound like a good place, if you have to go to the hospital, that is.
