I hope the surgery goes well and that you have a smooth and speedy recovery.
We’ll miss you on the SDMB.
All the best to you sir. You are a gentleman of the first order.
Much love to you, Henry. You add a lot of flavor to this place.
HUGS & PRAYERS
You will be missed, but I understand your decision. I will hold out a little hope that when your children are grown, and you need a hobby, the technology will be there to bring you back. We will not have forgotten you.
I’m so sorry, our sweetest Overlord. You know you will be terribly missed, both in style and substance, but I’m very glad that our loss will be your family’s gain. I’ll be thinking of and praying for you. Much love to you on what I wish is a wonderful journey. If your current attitude is any indication, it’ll be magnificent. <3
Best of luck with the surgery and beyond.
Good luck Skald. We’ll keep the hypothetical waiting for you.
Geez Skald, that is awful. Hoping that life (although very different) will be full of other opportunities for you.

Take care of yourself, Skald. It’s been a pleasure.
Damn, I look forward to the bizarre hypotheticals. I’d hope you’d reconsider & get some text-to-speech software.
Aww Skald, I will truly miss you, your threads have been some of my favorites.
I’m sorry about your troubles and glad you are making the best choices for you.
All the best.
Skald…? You kick its ass, you hear?
The board won’t be the same without you, Skald. You’re one of the posters here I’d wished I’d gotten to know in person. You’re a great guy.
I, too, hope that despite the above, we will see you here again. But if not, all I can say is I’ll miss you; we all will. Best wishes to you, always.
You will be missed but your family is way more important than your imaginary dope-friends. Go get 'em!
I’m saddened to learn of your news, Skald. But you’re doing the right thing in the circumstances you’ve been given.
We’ll miss you, and I know we all hope you can make use of assistive technologies to not be a stranger.
Good luck with the surgery, and with the challenges ahead. Your hypotheticals, and your handling of issues in them, has always brought smiles and laughs to me.
I’ll note that there are text to speech and speech to text programs out there. They may not be for you, but then again, they might be.
Pie.
Godspeed, man. You are an important part of this board and your absence will be greatly noticed!
Take care of that family and yourself, and maybe come back and say “Hi, I am still alive!” periodically.
very good luck with the surgery and the future.
And I’d like your wife to tell you about this guy. he may be inspirational:

This board used to be better.
All my very best to you.
