I hope he's feeling better, too - yesterday's mail was the first in two weeks that he sounded a little like our wolfie again. No wonder he was in such terrible pain if that bit of cartiledge the doctor extracted was just floating around inside there, stabbing him every little bit. :(
He probably hasn't seen any of his pings in a long time, but hopefully that will change in the next few days. :)
