I waited to post until there was an update to respond to. I'm glad they've been able to isolate the problem to just pneumonia. That's bad enough!

Hospitals are no place for sick people, so get home as soon as is reasonable. Have Rog roll out the barcalounger if you need to sleep propped up. Add your Mmario shawl and a printout of this thread to the chair and keep mending!

I wonder if any of the hot chili recipes we were discussing earlier this year would help? Does a good capsaicin singe help clear out those bad germs, d'you think? How about chocolate? Is there anything we can send that will help the healing process? The Giant Squid offered a hug, but maybe he and Wesley could work on providing some lime jello?

Oh, by the way, though his entry was deleted, I think in his own special way, Gargoyle was actually offering good wishes and hoping you'd get well. He just has such an odd turn of phrase at times that it all seems repugnant. I think he actually respects his old adversary. For what it's worth. :)

Any extra Secret Santa activity contemplated, ala Alaska Mike's episode? Tasty healthy tidbits, good book to read, therapeutic music CD? If this thread is printed for Kat to read she won't see the white text. Just a thought!
