So happy there is some encouraging news.Best wishes.God bless

So happy to have some encouraging news. Glad that Rob is on the mend.

Nice try but no. That's one reason I don't have kids. I ain't touching those diapers!!!

Seriously though, I am so glad to hear Rob is home and his bitchy self. If he needs someone to keep him in line, I'm free. Well, I still have a job.

Hi all,

Spoke with Rob today and he's home from the hospital and already bitc- um... complaining about the different therapies he now has to do, and still laughing. If he still has his sense of humor there's no doubt he'll be fighting fit after some work. He's asked that I pass on his thanks to everyone for their kindness and good thoughts for him. He's able to touch each finger to his thumb on his right hand so that's encouraging. Unfortunately, walking and talking are still a huge struggle for him but I have no doubt we'll see some improvement over near future. He's already making distasteful jokes so we'll all have our friend back to himself soon enough. 

Oh, yeah, Blu wants to know which one of you put the dirty nappy in his pillowcase? He's blaming @pvtguy but my money is on @rdale since they've been through this war and know all the tricks and good hiding spots. But then again this reeks of @empresslovesreading.

Take care, and I'll keep you all updated.

Joh

Those are great news. WIshing him a fast recovery. 🙏

hahaha... i did not hide the one in the pillow case... i guess this means he still has not found the one i hid!!  lol
