I'm so glad to hear that you are recovering from your snake bite. I was very concerned to see the comment that you were in the hospital. Best of luck on a speedy and complete recovery.

You know, it just goes to show: there you are, minding your own business, not pestering anybody, and out of the blue, some blundering mammal bloody steps on you, totally ruins your day....

I'm glad to hear you seem to be recovering, sir. Keep up that up. We still need you.

Day-um! Either a big one was really mad, or a little one's first strike for that much anti-venin. I really hope you feel better!

I'm going to share with you the words of wisdom my father used to share with me when I was in great pain:

"Well, don't DO that, dummy."

I hope you found them more comforting than I did!

Yikes. Best wishes for fast recovery. Hang in there.

Obviously needed the Thompson and some recon by fire... Glad you're doing better, hope you're well enough to go home soon.
