I'm sorry to hear this news. You are definitely in the right place and, despite what the media would have you believe, the best place. Keep smiling and let them do their best for you.

I hope to hear you are up to your old tricks soon.

Best wishes,

Peter

A room is being prepared for Mick at the NYCFTTS. We need bed pan warmers and lime Jell-O preparations. All hands on deck.

Bill said you could "see above how many care." I am not to be included in that group as I don't give a shit one way or another. I'm simply telling you for the sake of the business and the future success of LFPS......Stay the hell off my turf!!!

If Mick wants to get out of the hospital early someone needs to send up a banjo instead of a guitar. And while you're there I hope someone brought you a warm bathrobe. I've seen the gap in the back of those hospital gowns - not a pretty sight.

He mentioned to me months ago he was interested in buying a banjo. I should have known then something was not quite right in the head.

Thanks a million, my friends. Know that I cherish each of you and gratefully receive your prayers, healing thoughts, and best wishes. I will write more as this plays out. There is no loss of function. I asked if I would be able to continue repairing, and practicing the pipes and banjo. Doc said "NO". I asked him if I had lost mobility in my fingers. He told me there was no loss of mobility anywhere, but practicing these two instruments was definitely a hazard to my health! The look on his face was frightening. ***chuckle*** TIC comment

I am not out of the woods yet, my friends, but I am determined to be. Posts will be sparse. My way of dealing with this is to dig in, put my mind to work, and beat it. I will give a more complete update later.

All the best,

Mick

On a side note, someone not long at Mudcat voiced a negative opinion about Spaw's post. Please allow me to assure all and sundry that anyone who knows Spaw knows Spaw and appreciates the post, most of all, at this point, Big Mick. Yer lucky Spaw toned it down from his usual 'demeanour'... he's gettin old and mellowing thereby. >;-)

He's obedient. He's married, ain't he? He's learned what all successful men eventually learn: Do what women tell you, 'cause it's easier that way.

Now if he only remembers that when Nurse Ratched comes to move him to the NYCFTTS....

Mick, don't listen to her. Listen to the doctors. Listen to the nurses -- especially the nurses. Record what they say and use it to blackmail them later.
