Glad to see he’s doing well. And I like the pillow.

Man that’s a low blow. A howitzer shot at very short range right to the crotch.
What did Mr. Cole ever do to you?
There is that little heart at the bottom of the exclamation point.

When I had my triple bypass, my caregivers and those who were in the room when I came to, signed mine. Since then, my thoracic surgeon has died of cancer, my cardiologist retired to his native Österreich, and one of the witnesses is awaiting execution. The spousal unit, or at least somebody with access to her cellphone number, remains with us.
But it’s great to see Cole père doing well. I think I was in the hospital a couple of days longer. But now the best thing he can do, other than walking, are exercises with the invective spirometer. And DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL CLEARED TO DO SO. Trust me on this.

Yutsano is in the hospital finally getting some help for his body’s decision to fall down and lay there till someone picked him up.
Sounds like his demeanor has improved a bit.
Healthcare will do that to a person.
Cole especially likes whiny/complaining e-mail in ALL CAPS!

We were supposed to email you? Nobody told me.
Good to see the proof of life, thanks. Considering he had a joint replaced and a heart bypass, he looks spectacular.

Aaawww! Great way to end the weekend. Oh, and god forbid we actually care enough to send you an email (not that I did, but if I did…)

It’s good to see someone back where they belong and recovering. Hopefully it’s not Dick Cheney that took his place. ;)
Yutsano
Hmm…
Still not seeing it.
Have to see what the plan is here. I don’t need this bed but do require some major rehab.

There, I said it.

Glad you’re home and doing fine, Mr. Cole. ? ?

@Amir Khalid: Seconded. Also curious about the spousal unit cellphone comment. But good to know Tokyokie recovered without a hitch.
@Yutsano: I don’t understand your comment either. What’s wrong with the bed?
Genine Tyson
@Keith P.: That doesn’t prove anything nowadays. Anything can be Photoshopped.
At any rate, I’m glad Papa Cole is doing well.

Yes, Mr. Cole you are fine. You keep on being fine through the process of healing.
