Thank you.

Dear auntAgonsit,

I know I'm a newbie here, but I've lurked for years. SALMON CHANTED EVENING was THE most important post I would wait for every week. When he posted I felt like a kid reading the Sunday Funnies from the newspaper. He is endeared in my heart and I don't even know him personally. What a truly giving man. He's like my Tommy, I've never heard a single person to have a crossed word to say about him. Please let him know how dear he is to me and everyone here on DU! My heart would break should anything happen to him.

May You and Salmon Chanted Evening Be Healthy, Safe and Happy AND LOVED!

Please do whatever you need to do to get well. I am sending you every positive vibe and all the good energy I have within me.

I hope you'll be back here soon. But the most important thing is, you take care of you. And let the doctors and nurses work their magic so that we will have you back here, posting away, before you know it!

I don't know where you are so I don't know what the hospital is like - but I hope you get as good care as I got in 2023 when I unexpectedly had to be in one (including rehab for about a month), and I hope you get out in at least as good shape as I did - which was not perfect but I felt good enough to research and post.
