Amy - I too wish your father a speedy and complete recovery - he’s one of the main people that make this board so special. I also wish strength for you and your mother - I know that what you are going through is almost as hard as what your father is going through. Love Zyada ---

Hello Amy, you dont know me, but I am an old pal of your dad’s. He is going to be fine. He has to be. So many people are crazy about him, me included, that he has to be fine. He got throught the heart surgery, and he will get through this too. When you go to see him, could you whisper a message to him for me? Tell him that “kelli says to come for lobster”, then wet your finger and stick it in his ear. I am SO SO sorry that you and your family are going through this. God bless you. Warman ---

I also want to send my best wishes. I’m sure WallyM7 will be back soon, he’s been through a lot already (spiderweb in his face! mouse dropped unexpectedly in his hand! bypass surgery!) to let a little fall keep him down. Please tell him that all his friends at the SDMB are pulling at him and eagerly awaiting his humorous commentary on his accident. ---

Amy, tell your dad to get better and come back here. There’s still PLENTY of people who need to be told that they’re putzes. I’m including a sig from my file for him to use for a while. No charge. I’m taking last week back to the store, and I won’t even ask for a refund.
