I swear, when I saw the title to this thread I thought “Gee, I hope he didn’t blow himself up.”

I’ve always enjoyed his intelligent and rational posts - I hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.

Please Get better, Rugger, if you do I won’t call you Santos anymore… ☹

You’re a good man, Santo. I always enjoyed playing mafia with you, and always recall our “Three Kingdoms” Mafia dustup with pleasure now. Since then, you’ve always been a righteous dude in my book.

I know he’s gonna be fine, he’s too tough not to get through this!

I also know he’s gonna be pissed if he can’t play rugby anymore. So here’s hoping to a FULL recovery and have him back to smashing heads in no time.

Honestly, I was so scared when I saw the sticky that “coma” was good news. (And then Himself toddles off on his motorcycle to break into the old state mental hospital to grab movie props. He does have keys, at least. And a sidecar rig. Still.)

He’s a doper and a rugby player?  
You can’t get much cooler than that.

Srsly, GET WELL and STUFF!  
If anyone gets his addy, I will happily send off a card of cheer!

All I’ve been able to find out so far is that he’s not in a permanent room yet, so there’s no good addy for sending cards until he’s moved into his own digs.
