well put, Larry, I've only known Todd, here,for about a year, or so, and when we 1st spoke, to any degree, we butted heads. Now i respect him and admire his courage & "Todd-ness" I had all that in mind, and our mutual appreciation for H S Thompson, when I suggested him, for Pope. He'll get a giggle outta you moving his thread, too, Larry, you Cat Herdin' Trail Boss, you.....

And he might not like that you called him pragmatic. When he says that about me, I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean it as a compliment. Anyway..yeah, what you said. We're all hoping for a long period of wellness for Todd.

Yeah. Like what Pat and Ceashell and Cheryl and Bumper and Arnie and Deb and Kerry and Agnes and RBrown and Larry and Bel and said. (Am I leaving anyone out, here? Hope not.)

And to sort of add to what Deb said (and I do so hope I'm getting it right, since I'm not looking it up first),
"Do not go gentle into that dark night,
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light."
Dylan said that. Thomas, that is.

Miraculous recovery is fine with me. Do it all the time, myself.

Wishing those good helaing vibes for him & prayers too... he seemed to be doing so well at the Keswick... Hopefully the well days will over come the sick... <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

what Larry said!!! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/confused.gif" width=15 height=22>

thanks again for the thoughts.

i'm in the lebanon va hospital now...gave up and turned myself in yesterday at 1pm. am using the medical library's computer.

i honestly didn't realize how sick i was...damn close to death they tell me now...
and with that show just around the corner anyhow. it's amazing the things in our lives that we tolerate long enough for our minds to view them as normal.

they are going to try to let me go home for xmas. naturally, i miss mikey and cindy and can't bear to risk being separated for what might be my last holiday...

now don't go getting all stupid on me,,any of you...be assured,,i am endevouring to persevere!!

i'll try to write again tomorrow...or at least until they flag me here...don't know how long i can get away with wearing scrubs and calling myself doc???

todd!

it's a safe bet you'll keep those other medico's fooled for a long long long time... just look at all the other 'docs' runnin' around with scrubs on!! They've had us ALL fooled for years!! (or they'd like to think so, anyway!)

go ahead, heal someone just for the fun of it!!! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15>

(and while you're at it, mend thyself, good friend)
vibes!

Here's hopeing you'll get better & get outta there for the holidays & be around for along time. You're a survivor. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

You sir, must continue to be the stubborn bastard that you are! You know how to get hold of me if you need to!

good to hear from you todd!!

...i think you would be pretty convincing in scrubs...just don't prescribe anything!!

Keep the faith, my friend. We need you around to lead us on the path of the Blunderite Trail. If you think we're confused now! Ha! Give me a nurse report.
I hope they're the type that makes ya go <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/naughty.gif" width=15 height=15>
and not the other type that makes you go <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/terrified.gif" width=15 height=15>
Is there an address where we can send you a card ?

I spoke with Todd by phone a short time ago.
He seems to be responding in a favorable way to the treatment he is getting, and he is still Todd! Knee deep in shit, and still fighting and joking at the same time.Your spirit is awesome my friend.

(edited 'cos I couldn't spell "awesome" right the first time)

Todd my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are loved by many.

todd...don't know how we're supposed to keep from getting all stupid...most of us have given up on getting smart.

thanks for disguising yourself as a doc so you can stay in touch, and healing wishes that you get out for Christmas!

glad to hear via larry that you're responding well to treatment...keep fighting, my friend!
