Well, many of you know that our own King Shadow was recently hospitalized, again.
In mid-February, he had to go in to deal with his colon cancer. In early March, he was back in. On the up side, even if he never uses it in the normal way, it has been medically proven that the Shadow does in fact have a brain. They know this, because they had to remove a tumor from it. The surgery itself went well, though there were some moments during the recovery that weren't so good.
He managed to talk them into letting him come home for his convalescence. I'm sure that the Chief of Surgery had some comments about good order and discipline, and "get that SOB out of my hospital," or something along those lines.
He has jailers, er, nurses that stay with him. He says they have no sense of humor. I won't tell you what he did the other day, so that he and I could chat on the phone without interruption, but let's just say that he didn't take his sedative!
He wants me to tell you all that he thinks about you, but doesn't have the energy to sit and write all the e-mail replies and forum posts that he'd like to. It is not a matter of ignoring anyone, he just literally can't do it right now. It's going to be a while before he's back to (ab)normal, but when he feels up to it, he'll be back here with a vengeance!

I have no idea how MY sedatives got into my nurses tea !!
Best regards to everyone, and, as Tom mentioned above, I'll do my best to get in touch with all my Forum and Shadowland friends as soon as I can !!
Anybody out there got an extra supply of sleeping pills they can send me ?? "While the nurse is away (snoring!) The Shadow can play!"

Can't really imagine what it must be like to deal with both! But I most certainly do tip my hat to you Sir Shadow!
I wish you a speedy recovery and may you live long and happily ever after. You bloody well deserve that after having had to deal with this!!
Best regards,
Paul

Re: Shadowland Update
How's this, fellas?
John was supposed to call me this evening, but I got an e-mail instead. I think his daughter's on to his tricks. She took all the phones out of the house, except the one in the nurse's office, and a cell for the duty nurse to carry around!
At least she hasn't taken his computer away.

Being the gentlemen that I know we are, we shall refrain from commenting on the previous poster's tawdry observation !!
I'd think HE was the one spending too much time standing around under the sun, but everyone knows that there's no sun in Michigan (And it ain't because of no Shadow !!)
Best regards "M.H." and have a couple of on me !! (I'll just forward the bill to Tom. He won't notice while he's busy searching for that elusive bright light in the Michigan sky !! hahaha !! )
