I missed you suckers.

Pavlov thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Jul 3rd 2015 at 5:33pm ET

Hello fellow suckers! I'm doing well and they've moved me to a rehab hospital back home - and as I am able I'll be checking in from time to time (between naps, meals and physical therapy [and flirting with the second shift nurse - OMG the rack on her - I don't know how she stands upright without a back brace - but I like it when she leans / reaches over the bed - and yes, I keep dropping things on purpose!!!!]).

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes and for filling my inbox to overflowing with "@ mentions" (I actually had so many I had my wife turn them off for a while). Thanks to those who know me IRL that sent cards and thanks to Meh for the wonderful get well card also. That meant a lot to me too, and it was a wonderful surprise.

Okay, well - this is one of the few things I'm not good at - so I'll leave it here - I just want all of you to know how much your kind words and encouragements and the threads (which I am still catching up on) have meant to me.

Thank you.

Yay, welcome back! Please from now on try to only get squished by really light roofs, like maybe a styrofoam roof or a balsa-wood roof that's partially held up by some helium balloons. Or no roofs at all. That's another option. In fact maybe best to just go with that one, all around.

- @Starblind I don't know if over a month is quick, and I have a long way to go, but forum love and boobies certainly helped. As for tonight's little blue pill expedition, I didn't account for the morphine "dulling the senses" - so here I sit on my laptop while @MrsPavlov snores (don't mention she snores; she'll just deny it anyway), but it is a great feeling to be in my own bed . . . it'll take a while to withdraw from these pain pills, which may end up being the biggest pain in the ass of this whole damn mess, or so I am told . . Not really looking forward to what is in store . . . I'm sure there are more than a few here that understand.

- @Pavlov Getting past withdrawals can be rough, after a few surgeries,I know all too well. There are a few meds, however, that are very dangerous to quit. Make sure that what you've been km doesn't require weaning! And yay for your own bed, that'll make anything worth it.

- @Pavlov Kava Kava helped me get off of the oxycodone from my knee injuries. Went with the extra strength oil. 20-30 drops of that in a couple ounces of water. Tastes like garbage but does the job.
