Best wishes **Skald**. We have grown used to thinking that, thanks to modern medicine, infections are no longer a cause for concern, but the odd one can really catch you on the hop and I’m glad you’re over the worst of it now. Here’s hoping your recovery continues apace! ---

Heading for home. They’re insisting I be rolled out in a wheelchair, so in requital for the indignity I shall probably have to use the volcano ray on Desoto county. Somebody tell Oakminster to go fishing. ---

Somebody tell Oakminster to go fishing. Excellent. Then I can call off the strafing. Not sure who I was going to target, but it was going to be epic. Keep healing 🙂 ---

I must be having sympathy sickness. I’ve been out sick for a few days, and suddenly got better this afternoon. I blame **Skald**. In a good way. Welcome back to the land of the living! ---

> [@GargoyleWB](#): > > Good luck buddy, hang in there, you’re one of the good ones. > > _poster of kitten hanging from branch_ I always pictured it more as Skald sitting on the branch while Yosemite Sam saws it off and then the tree falls. Hurrah! Skald is back! Get out of the hospital so you can get well, buddy! 😃 ---

We don’t normally close threads just on the request of the OP but it this case the original purpose is no longer valid. If you want to continue to tell Skald how much you hypothetically love him and want him to have your babies send him a PM or something. Welcome back and take care of yourself. Closed by request.
