Thank you all for your kind wishes. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I would also like to thank those especially who contacted me during my stay in the hospital. In no particular order...
Thank you, Amanda, for literally being by my side this entire time. You came to see me all day, every day. Words cannot express how much I love you, and you really are the best romantic partner an appendix-less lug could ever ask for. Thank you.
Thank you, Julia. And please extend my deepest thanks to Nicki, Nic and Vi. I think the good energy from the covens really helped, and I'm eternally grateful.
Thank you, Kris, not only for that post but for also your brief yet heart-touching phone call. I'm sorry to have worried you, but I'm pretty dandy and am recovering! Don't be surprised to see replies to some of your threads very soon. :3 As a matter of fact, I just read your PM and I'm eagerly looking forward to the near future! WHOOSH!
Thank you, Naomi. I'm very touched that you deeply prayed for my health. That was very sweet and thoughtful of you.
I'll try and think of something Roger Radcliffe could do with the pups ASAP!
And to those who contacted me through different means...
Thank you, Collin, for giving me several buzzes on the phone. Talking to you has always been a favorite pastime of mine, but talking to you while in a hospital bed is especially comforting and sincere. Hopefully when I get back home, we can play some matches of Smash Bros., Mario Kart Wii, Dr. Mario, or so! WAH-HA![/Wario moustache]
Thank you, Moony, for sending me countless texts, as well as a lengthy phone call. It's great to know that I can depend on you for helping me to cheer up. I would also like to thank you for extending the message to Fantasy Worlds, and please give my sincerest thanks to Padfoot, as well as anyone else who has expressed kind wishes.
Thanks to Emma, too, for contacting both Amanda and myself after my surgery, as well as calling me several days later for a nice chat. Your voice was noticeably worried in that voicemail, and that touching fact convinces me that you are and always have been a caring friend. Rawrr..!
Thanks, Wormtail, for your plethora of text messages. I hope my condition hasn't distracted you from education. But if it did, I'm afraid you can't sue, on the grounds that my appendix has been cremated into kingdom come, and therefore cannot stand trial.
(Speaking of my appendix, I'd like to give a posthumous "NO U" to said appendix.)
And thanks, Maiku, for confining in me that you have also experienced appendicitis, and you know full well how anti-fun it is. Shudder, shudder.
If I have somehow forgotten anyone in FK, please let me know and I will give credit where credit is due. ^^
Though I am still in the hospital, I am told that I will be sent home very soon. And because I'm doing better, I will make a post every now and then, though I certainly won't pain myself to do so. My posts will be very infrequent, though, so please be patient.
And when I feel up to it, I will post a length documentation about my experience. But special thank yous come first!
