Best wishes for a full recovery, and for your own health too - caring for a sick or injured partner can be scary.

Is he able to read the Dope at all? I know my dad spent a lot of time on the iPad when he was in the ICU. I’ll try to be a more interesting poster so he has some good stuff to read. 😃

Man, that’s rough. May the surgery be quick, the pain meds be potent, and the recovery be short and smooth.

I’ve met Jayjay, though I don’t know if he remembers it. In any case, I hope the surgery is successful, and that he recovers soon.

I hope it is much less serious than it sounds and that everything is resolved quickly and with the least amount of discomfort possible.

Get well **jayjay**.

(If I’ve already sent best wishes via FB, am I supposed to do it again here? I find the modern world so confusing…)

(Oh well, just in case)

Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, no! I knew it had to be something keeping my friend and bro’ from playing Warcraft with me and **Rik**.

Thanks for letting us know, **Supervenusfreak** , and I am pm’ing you our phone number in case there’s anything we can do to help. You and I don’t know each other, but I know of _you_ through your loving partner, **SVF** and I know you’ll see him through this!

Please tell **jayjay** we’re taking good care of _jaejae_ for him, Bill and **Dondra** send our very best wishes, and to hurry and get better.

Miss you bro’, and not just in WoW, either.

Your pal

Bill

I’ve met **jayjay** too – we auditioned for _Jeopardy!_ together, though we didn’t realize it till later.

I’ll take a complete recovery for $2000, Alex!
