OT: Thanks To All

Well, having been delivered to the ER on 11/17/03 DOA the hospital spit me back out, alive on
12/23/03. It's been a long, tough battle but I've won it. I want to thank all of you that sent
cards and flowers and to Barb that called me in my hospital room. I am overwhelmed by the prayers,
thoughts and generosity of my online friends from this and other groups. I can't possibly answer
all of the cards or emails I've received for you all but wanted to express my gratitude to all.

I'm just now getting through all of the cards. Humor is a huge message in many of the cards. I like
that. Ms. Schaller called me in the hospital and rubbed it in about missing Margaret's brunch. BUT,
I have a card here signed by brunch participants. I can't wait to see the pics.

Anyway, thanks all. I hope you are all enjoying your holidays if you participate. Me, I'm kicking
back with a hot cocoa and a fire in the fireplace.

Michael <- On the mend

Glad you're back Michael. You were missed.

Just awfully thankful that you're on the way back and home to be with friends and family for
the holidays.

God bless and take care but most of all enjoy! (well, you may wanna take it easy though... ;-) )

DoggieMichael, Thank you for letting us know that you are home and feeling well enough to get in
touch with your friends. May your recovery be quick and painless, after all the troubles you had for
the last few weeks.

Take it easy, don't answer the email until you feel stronger and take pleasure in just being out of
the hospital.

Needless to say, that I can only now start enjoying the 2003 Holiday Season.

May all the Blessings of the Holiday Season be with you and yours.

Hugs and love, Margaret

I've had his card sitting here so long, it's dusty, every time I want to mail it, he changes rooms
or he might get out.

Thank you for the Christmas present, Michael.

Awwwwwwwwwww right, Michael!! Glad to hear you're on the mend. Take it slow, don't overdo!! We've
all been rallying for you. Best wishes for a happy holiday season! Goomba

That's wonderful news. If you ever doubted that you have friends, Google the messages here during
your hospital stay. Many, many good things were said about you and many concerns expressed for
your health.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, gloria p

::embarrassed:: Um, me too? I've got your card right here,
Michael and was going to mail it out when I got the good news about you going home for Christmas!
That's wonderful news, and I hope you and all your loved ones will have a great holiday.

I will say it one more time: Our very own Christmas Miracle! I am so happy you're home and I know
it's been (and likely will be) a long road, but it sure is good news to hear! I will admit to being
very worried, despite not knowing you well. I am just glad you had a happy outcome and I hope you're
enjoying your holidays!

Welcome back, Michael! So glad to hear you're on the mend!

Hope you have a smooth and speedy recovery.
