Glad things are going so well and you are all home safe and sound. Plenty of rain here in CT also. Glad it wasn't snow and that the weather is above freezing so no ice. Be well. Listen to the nurse coming in and stay out of the cellar.

Much love to you both,
karen

Picturing Kendall and Jacqui in matching recliners -Kendall with remote in hand, Jacqui with a good book or crotchet hook and yarn in hand, Seamus curled up somewhere inconvenient, halo of light from a lamp framing the picture, both tuckered out and glad to be home.

Love to you both.

Welcome home, Kendall!

Best place to enjoy all this driving rain is inside, warm, dry and cuddled up with your darlin' wife and your loyal dog. (You did pry him loose from Mary, didn't you?)

Just talked to Tom and he may be coming home tomorrow.

Hugs all 'round,
Linn

Well, Mr. Backseat Driver.... I assume by the fact that you posted that means the "piss poor driver" you just went bad on musta got you home so you could post that.

Good thing she didn't dump you off in the rain somewhere around when you started weening... like just outside a Boston?

Jaysus man... don't bite the hand eh?

After you get comfy, join us in the cellar... if there is any room.

(Glad to have you back, bud.)

Happy birthday Cuilionn - live long, die happy.

We got home about 20 minutes ago after a long and very wet drive. Many thanks to Mary, who did the lion's share of the driving in really foul weather.

Kendall had a final scope by one of Dr Z's partners, who was most impressed with his recovery, and we got some good advice from Sonny, the senior technical assistant in the office, about how to ensure fast healing of the remaining hole in Kendall's neck.

We have a home nurse coming in tomorrow to set up some of the machinery that has come home with us, but, for the rest of today and tomorrow, it is going to be a case of just curling up and resting for us both. This past week and a half has been long and hard and we are both glad that it is over.

I can only give thanks for the support of both our families and friends and of the wonderful folk on the 'Cat, who have seen us both through this. You made our lives a lot lighter than might otherwise have been the case. Thank you all.

We're baa-aaack.
Tired and wet. Portland is expecting 8-9" of rain. My mantra - thank god it's not snow.
Jacqui and I have been flying since about 8AM this morning. Cars, cabs, feet, elevators, etc. Kendall is home although he almost spent half the trip on a roof rack. He has problems with my driving.
But I got him and Jacqui and the car home unscathed.
Now for a shot of something hard.
By the way, he looks wonderful and downed a burger and fries.

Kendall--

You may not remember me; I don't post often and I'm a few ripples out from the inner circle of groupies, but I did sing at your bedside a few years back on a visit with Fred & Julia.

Today's my birthday, and Maine is awash in a depressing rush of rain-that-should-be-snow. My farm truck is stuck in the mud in a driveway that should be hard-frozen. Nonetheless, I'm happy. Rain is better than snow for your drive home, and I'm thrilled that that's where you're headed. I consider the news a birthday present, of sorts.

So... happy birthday to me, but most especially,

HAPPY HOMECOMING!!!

Good to know you'll all be heading for "god's country.".......What time should I expect you so I can get some beds ready?

I wish I'd known sooner......Say, bring a few lobster along if there's room. I have this little village butcher shop here that has the finest beef and beautifully cut..........I'll have Karen stop for some huge spuds and you ain't lived til you have one of Spaw's Greek salads.

How about some Ohio State gear? Maybe some chocolate "buckeyes?
