Hop Update

by hop_goblin » Apr 16th, '08, 10:47

Hey Guys,

I don't know if you guys have noticed but I have not been on here much lately. I have a terrible foot infection that is attacking my muscle and skeletal tissue. I am on a course of aggressive antibotics which seem to be working but slowly. The docs suggest that they caught the infection in time that they will not have to do surgery which I can only assume 'take my foot'. The saddest part of this whole ordeal is that I have not drunk any tea in the last week and half! Well, wish me luck.. and chat with you soon

If I could have gotten anything out other than "Ack! Ack! No, no, nonononononono!" That would have been it.

Hop--I don't pray much, but I'll start now. Take care of yourself. And surgery doesn't have to mean amputation. Doctors are loathe to remove a limb if they can help it--particularly on young people.

Lots of love and lots of hope.

Noooooooooooooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Sounds like quite a nasty something. Hope you conquer this one quickly. Maybe drink some mmm sencha to fight off the infection? :D Or have the doctors gone over to the dark side and begun to deny you tea?!

OK, I'm starting a collection to send Hop a stripper to take his mind off his foot and move it a little north.
