I just got done conversing with PB on AIM, and she need our prayers and well wishes. As many of you know, she recently had surgery to remove a kidney stone. Well, her recovery is going slower than hoped. She is having a lot of pain and discomfort around her stent and in her kidneys, and seems to have caught a UTI as well. If this situation dosen’t improve, she may be re-admitted to the hospital. Please wish her well, and hope she gets a good nights sleep and is on the upswing tomorrow. {{{Purplebear}}} ---

Oh no! This is not acceptable. You must get better right this instant, Missy! You just can’t keep putting the Teeming Millions through this sort of worry. Seriously…I’m so sorry to hear you’re feeling poorly again, PB. Many warm thoughts and prayers are speeding your way for a swift recovery. {{{{{{{{{{purplebear}}}}}}}}}} ---

Get well soon, sweetie! Try dissolving some baking soda in a glass of ice water (it goes down better when it’s really, really cold - it’s veeeeery salty) and drinking that to relieve any burning from the UTI. And I’m sure your doctors told you - lots and lots of cranberry juice. Take care, hon! * * * The luckiest woman in the world!

Yeah, I was gonna suggest cranberry juice too. Worked very well for me. Get better soon **PB**. I’ll definitely send you a prayer and a bunch of healing thoughts. ---

No. **Geobabe** ’s right. This will not do. **purplebear** and **Persephone** need us, so there’s only one thing to be done: Everybody clear your neural pathways; we’re gonna form a psychic circle, okay? Right. All clear? Good, now everybody LINK UP and start sending the healing vibes _as hard as you possibly can._ [sub]This IS going to work. It’s got to.
