[Rose in RoseBear]

Hello, gentlebeings! Sunday afternoon, I spent 90 minutes on the phone with the Hobbit Hole's own Lucius Corneilus Sulla.

As you may (or may not) know, LCS has been "feelin' poorly" for a while now. He suffered what can best be called a "medical perfect storm" in early December; three chronic conditions came together to nearly do him in.

He's better now, though, after two major surgeries and a change of medication. He's out of the hospital and in rehab now; on Tuesday of this week the doctors will be having an evaluation meeting to determine whether he needs to stay at the rehab facility a while longer.

Please send LCS a card or drop him a quick note;
FReepmail me for his contact information.

We're also taking up a donation for a small gift (maybe two) for LCS. He's got cable with premium channels --- he watched the LoTR marathon on TBS, and is keeping up with C-SPAN --- but I think he'd like a book or two (maybe Steyn's latest). Or maybe some sugar-free treats (he's diabetic). Or maybe a nice plant.

If you'd like to donate, please click on http://www.rbent.com/HHLCSGetWellDonations.htm.

I'll call him again later this week to see how the evaluation meeting turns out.

Thanks Rose. You gots PayPal. Could you please Freepmail me LCS's address so I can send him a card? Some sugar free hard candies, and a book sound good to send to him, but whatever you decide will be fine.

Thanks for doing this Rose. You've got Paypal and Freepmail.

Weatherness wasn't too bad here. Skuls are opening two hours late. No such luck for Fangorn.
