A thought for Leatherbear, you mention him in your list.
As he had surgery yesterday, any info about his health would be welcome.
I spoke with leatherbear for a while Thursday evening (he and I are in the same time zone).
His spirits are high.
He expects to be in and out of the hospital within 24 hours.
He will be home soon, yet incapacitated and drugged up for a while.
He continued to see all our well-wishes (both members and staff) and I [again] encouraged him to focus on himself and recovery and ignore GT.ru for as long as it takes.
He or I will continue to keep members and staff posted as he and I chat by phone often – a brother in my family-of-choice that I only got to know from this great community.
Hugs,
Tim
