Lots of love, light & hugs from me too, to Badger, and Tig, and especially my Secret Santee, Firecat. Think butterflies & dragons! Butterflies for love and light, and dragons for the power to heal.

Today he was being cantankerous, bored silly and fed up. The hospital are very pleased with how he's doing and are taking him off the permanenet monitor.

Depending on the results of blood tests and getting his medication sorted they are looking at a possible discharge date of Tuesday!!!!!

We know it is going to be a long slog, but at least he's still with us.

Thanks for all the hugs and love.

Dang! I just caught this thread, and I ran to my living room to light a purebred Hollowfox @#$%-reduction candle before I even answered this. So here's more good thoughts from the midwest USA to some of my favorite critters on the 'Cat! (BTW, I have two other friends named Badger, but you're the onlt international one.) Take care, you lot.

Oh, and Badger, if you get bored, read, practice music, read the 'Cat, or get a coloring book and some crayons. Or (as I always threaten my kids), I could always find some nice boring chores for you to do. *g*

Well, I'm late as usual, I see. Nonetheless and howsomever, I insist on wishing the old badger a speedy recovery and a long life. Apparently he's done something to make the beautiful and talented catsphizzle love him, so I like him as well. Long life and freedom to him and and gratuitious sex besides!

Glad he's doing so well. Everyone sends their best wishes and lots of licks: you know how my wolves adore him! Went to a ceilidh on Saturday and the band was "Roger the Badger"...but I don't think he'll appreciate that right now!

It's now Monday Morning. I'm back at The Globe after my visit to Norton. Tig and Firecat are coping extremely well with the situation. John is doing well and does not seem to have done any serious damage to himself. He has his colour back and is ready to go home. He will be coming for some R&R at The Globe over Easter where he will be intalled in a corner of the bar with a dominoes board and a pint pot.

Gillie ran the pub on her own for the weekend and did a wonderfull job as landlady so I still had a pub to come back to.

Thanks to all for your support and best wishes

He's rapidly finding out that he's no where near as clever as he thought he was. Everything exhausts him very quickly even just talking to people.

I printed off the thread and took it to him today as a little 'light' reading and he has asked me to thank all of you for the good wishes and comments. Spaw, he passed your suggestion for entertainment round his area of the ward!!

Hopefully we are looking at discharge later in the week. The doc said maybe tomorrow but his own nurse looked at his notes and said " Doctors know nothing" - so he's accepted that it will be at least Wednesday.

Thanks again to Magician and Gillie. Col K is coming over to stay for a few days from tomorrow night - so you can contact him here.

Badger/Tig/Firecat... Please get better soon, the circuit won't be the same if you're not there. Just imagine Warwick Festival with it's hot sun and holiday atmosphere. That should help build up some strength. Oh and pm me for my lemonade secrets!

I've got t'old bugger home!!!! They relented and let him come home this afternoon. He's very tired and is having to go VERY steady.

FC and I will now have to be very careful not to upset him - or we'll get brown bread buns thrown at us ( his new alternative to cigarettes).

Col will be with us from this evening so that will make transport etc at lot easier - but thanks to all of you who have offered, promise I'll yell if I need help :-)

Just remember that when they tell you to start going for walks, they don't mean as far as the nearest pub so that you can have a "rest" before you set off back home! When you start off, keep in mind that however far you walk, it's just as far back.

This is Badger. Many thanks for your warm support - anything warm appreciated as I've so much blood-thinner in me that a gnats-fart can cause a chill and even a politician can see through me plasma.
(3min later) - having to go very slow at the moment but hopefully we'll be at our regular festivals later in the year, or some anyway - I wont be doing steep for quite a while.
Time to sleep - thanks lots for your messages and thoughts.
