Budge, you handsome dog,

I remember with pleasure meeting you on the Mall in D.C. at the very first FR Rally (wasn't it?) I also remember you took pictures of everyone -- probably because your memory is as porous as mine. LOL.

Take it easy, my friend. And maybe you should stop tapdancing until dawn. Just for a while, mind you.

Dear Budge, Pain has a way of getting your attention and latching hold like a leach. It's mean and tiring and doesn't seem to know when to go away. In fact, it's alot like democrats!! :)

Sending prayers that you will feel God's strong arms around you and get some good sleep as that is so difficult when the pain level is high. I hope someone is there that can tenderly touch you and pamper you while you are hurting. Hope this ends soon so you can get back with your friends on FR! RebRaider

Budge, Did you try the drink that will dissolve kidney stones? mix 2 tsp honey in 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar and fill the glass with water.

Budge, I know you've been through a lot lately, but knowing you as I do, I know you'll get through this.

Hang in there buddy, and if I can help you in any way, or if you just want to talk, give me a call.

I love ya man!!!

May you be blessed, friend Budge!

God have mercy on your body and lift your spirit!
You are precious to a lot of folks here.

Be encouraged and lifted up!
Love to you, and be healed in Jesus Name!

[trussell]

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers today Budge. Hope you will feel better soon.

[krunkygirl]

Hi Budge--I'm remembering back a couple of months ago when I saw your screen name for the first time and we exchanged notes. I told you that you shared my cat's name. You replied something like you had had that "handle" for a very long time so that it was probably the other way around. It made me laugh.
I hope you'll be smiling and laughing again soon, too.
Along with all the other folks here at FR, my prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery.

[bvw]

Get well, Budge!

[kassie]

Please know we are praying for you.

Mo1, thanks for the ping -even if I am late in getting to it.

An update on Budge:

Budge went to the Doctor yesterday.

Doctor said he still has a pretty large reminent of the kidney stone. That's why he still in so much pain. So they want to repeat the proceedure to pulverize it further.

Still has the sprained rib cartiledge but he's a trooper!

Actually felt a tiny bit better this morning and read this thread and BOY DID IT LIFT HIS SPIRITS!!

He is reading this with me as I type!! And will read some more tonight and TRY to answer this in a group message (I will provide the same ping list I've composed here, sorry if we miss anyone, as I don't really have a ping list perse').

HIS WORDS TO ALL OF YOU:

"PRAYERS DO WORK.. I DON'T CARE WHAT ALL THOSE ATHEIST SAY"

(One more look at his handsome "smiling" face. Cause that is what all these well wishes and PRAYERS are doing for him :o)
