I was in the hospital for a while....

[Redstone]

No details forthcoming, but here are a few observations:

1) There's NO more effective alarm clock than a nurse walking into your room at 6 AM, brandishing a large needle - which she fully intends to jab into your arm in order to drain a large amount of one of your Precious Bodily Fluids (thank you, George C. Scott) into a handful of rubber-stoppered glass tubes - and carrying out her intentions as if that's the way EVERYONE gets woken up in the morning.

2) The world looks different when you're seeing it with your eyes at wheelchair height (figure what, three and a half feet?) than it does from your normal walking eye height (unless, of course, you're only three-foot-eight tall).

3) Now that the Redstone Concussion-O-Meter has its needle pegged at a total of six (and this one still hurts, possibly from the cracked orbital bone), maybe you'll all listen to me: If you're going to go around collecting concussions, stop at three at the most. Please.

But not to worry. I'm doing fine now, and that's the truth. I have a lot of work to catch up on, but I'll get back to being around DU soon enough.

1. I'm glad you're out of the hospital...

Hope it's a long while before you have to go back! :hug::hug::hug:

2. Take care of yourself.

A friend was in an auto accident a few years ago and drove home to the exurbs of Chicago....about 35 miles with a concussion.

She didn't realize it at the time, but it was not funny.

Take care of yourself.

:hi:

[abq e streeter]

3. good to hear from you...since you failed to stop at 3, do ya think maybe this could be the last one?

just a suggestion....

[Redstone]

4. I'll do my best; I stopped going out and looking for them after #4, but

they seem to be able to find me anyway.

Redstone

[JohnnyLib2]

Ya old toughie.....

[Raven]

6. Oh for Chrissakes! Quit banging your head against the wall. It doesn't work!

And here you are!

We missed you around here.

Good to hear that you're home and doing better Redstone.

Redstone

[UndertheOcean]

[graywarrior]

9. You were the topic of a phone converation the other day

We were discussing how much we missed you here.

[Redstone]

lately? Well, I hope.

Redstone

Redstone

[ThomCat]

15. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

:hug:

I'm glad you're out. :)

Please don't go through that again.

Yes, the world looks very, very different from wheelchair height, and the world treats you very differently when you are down there at wheelchair height too.

[SeattleGirl]

16. I'm so glad to hear from you, Redstone!

I was just thinking about you yesterday (I really was), wondering how you were doing.

No more concussions now, okay?

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. Hello Redstone

Good to see you.

[flvegan]

18. So good to hear from you.

I'm not around here as much, but I'm glad to have been here tonight to see this. Speedy recovery in all aspects, sir. I insist.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Good to see your post

I got familiar with #1 when I was 13! They don't even give any consideration for your age!

Take it easy and keep getting better!

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

20. Hi old friend...

all the nurses are named Ratchet at 6:00 AM.

:-)


Glad to hear that you're doing better now.

[Suich]

21. I was also thinking about you yesterday!

Glad to have you back!

Take care!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Redstone...

So glad to see you posting! Sorry I missed it...while you were still up.

I look forward to the day when we will regularly see your name here!

Please take care of yourself...

:hug:

[Adsos Letter]

23. Good to hear from you Redstone!

Heal up quick.

[libodem]

24. Sorry for your noggin

glad you'll be back around.

[MilesColtrane]

25. For God's sake man!

Start protecting your noggin!

We need you lucid and primed to attack at all times, dammit!

[Skittles]

26. I'll lay off Redstone for a while

[Redstone]

39. Thank you. If you kicked my ass right now, I'd be sore at both ends.

Redstone

[seemunkee]

27. Glad you are doing better

Hope you continue to recover and stay healthy.

[Haole Girl]

28. A cracked orbital bone sounds very painful

Ouch. And I cannot even imagine how awful a hospital stay combined with large needles... daily... would be.
:scared:

I hope you feel better soon, Redstone. :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. Good wishes to you, Redstone (from previously philboy).

[GCP]

30. Just a minor nit-pick -- It was Sterling Hayden with the precious bodily fluids

Hope you're feeling better!

[Redstone]

41. What? Damn, now I'm going to have to find a copy of Dr Strangelove to rent.

I could have sworn it was Scott who said that.

Redstone

[redwitch]

42. When one is concussed, the details get scrambled.

Glad you are on the mend Redstone!

[Demoiselle]

44. GCP is right, Redstone.

Got here too late to correct you first.
That aside, get well, sending you every good vibe I can.

[crim son]

31. Oh Redstone!

Please take care of yourself. When you're not around, you're truly missed. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[susanr516]

32. Good to see you, Redstone

And I'm glad to hear you're mending. :hug:

[bigwillq]

33. Glad you're doing fine.

Take care. :hug: :hi:

[applegrove]

34. Take care of you!

[Call Me Wesley]

35. Glad to hear you're doing fine.

Hang in there.

[Shell Beau]

36. Glad to hear things are looking up!

You take care of yourself and that head of yours! ;)

[LynzM]

37. I'd been wondering about you...

:hug: :hug: :hug: I'm glad you're home and recovering ok... knock it off with the getting hurt, eh?

[Redstone]

40. OK, I'll do that, since you insist. Say hello to J for me, and (even though I doubt

she remembers me) tell Miss Cutieface that Crazy Uncle Redstone said hello.

Hope all is well with you guys these days.

Redstone

[LynzM]

43. Heh, good.

I will of course say hi... I bet she remembers you! :)

:hug: We're doing pretty well, except for J having to have his appendix out a couple weeks ago and having no job. Small beans in the pot, these days...

:hi:

[Kali]

38. good to know you are still with us

keep fighting and be good to yourself

[MrScorpio]

45. Good to see you, Bro

Very good to see you

[Turbineguy]

46. It's also important

to be the buffest person in the cardiac ward. If they ask about your allegies, mention Republicans. Be nice to the Nurses but stand firm against toilet related indignities.

[NewJeffCT]

47. Glad to see you're doing okay

thanks for the update.
