Would love to be able to say 'Oh! Harrow! I'm from…' but sadly that wouldn't be true. Close enough though that I am doing precisely the accent you are thinking of, though.

Yay! Cat's going home.

(Oh: Cat's doing … well, fine. I mean, I think she'll be able to go home tomorrow. Probably for sure. Yes, she will. Right now she's still not exactly ready to go jogging or anything, but … it's not like she's had BRAIN SURGERY. Yowzer, man. Talk about putting things in perspective.)

Oh, boy, this last strain of comments are from some readers who are particularly dear to me. Stuart! Solnushka (whose writing voice reminds me of my deceased Brit mother-in-law; Cat herself was born in Harrow, a town outside of London. And Richard: Good to hear from you! And my old friend Judy!

Okay, so Jennie. Seriously? Your daughter had brain surgery? That's just … I can't even imagine it. That's just unbelievable. I don't know how you survived that. And she's now okay, you say? What was WRONG? Man. That's …. serious business. (Everyone: Jennie is the president of the San Diego Christian Writer's Guild, one of the largest and most productive Christian writers groups in the country. She and her husband Bob do a fantastic job of co-presiding over that wonderful collective of writers.)

Our daughter had brain surgery earlier this year — and I remember sitting by her bed, praying and trying to make sense of it all. She's doing well… I know God answers prayer and He will take care of Cat and you. Thank you for letting us share the journey! Will continue praying.

..and this..

'For I will restore you to health

And I will heal you of your wounds,'

declares the LORD. Jer. 30:17

I wish I could think of something witty and biblical to say, but it's late and I am dimwitted at this hour! So, my heartfelt hugs to you and Cat and and continued prayers. Sleep well and dream sweet.

No drugs for the bonkers spouse! Where's their humanity? Maybe you can hold up the prescription cart, or at least get some ice from the dude in the next room suffering from swollen throbosis.

Morpheous calls. Maybe Cat can hitch a ride. Prayers for your girl.

Sorry for being a bit slow in catching up with your hospital stuff. It's good to hear things are moving in the right direction.

I'll pray for sleep, that's always a blessing and it's biblical becuase God gives sleep to those he loves, it says so in Psalms somewhere.

It's pretty cool how the two of you have each other. That is really neat.

Be blessed

My Mum had surgery recently and now she has a tinkly bell to summon her household. I completely approve of this (as I don't live there). I totally recommend the tinkly bell. Remember that's for Cat though, John.

Glad to hear they're taking such good care of her, although poo you won;t be at home for the holidays.

Hi, Dale. Thank you for prayers! Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with sleep and hospitals. It's almost like some alarm goes off in administrative when any patient dozes off for more than four minutes, and then whatever employee first barges into the room of that patient and asks, "How are you feeling?" gets a bonus.

And Derek O'Brien! Thank you, too, for the kind thoughts. A tinkly bell! I love it!

Wait. No I don't.
