An Update on The Magistrate.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

The Magistrate is healing "on schedule," according to the wonderful nurses who have cared for him these past few days. Yesterday the last of the many tubes were removed and he was transferred from ICU to the post-op ward. He also ate his first real meal - at least, as close to one as they give guys in his condition, and as much of it as he had the appetite to eat. A release date hasn't been discussed yet but we're all hoping he'll be home by midweek.

Words can't express how much it moved us all to read your outpouring of support. I printed out the thread - just the collapsed thread view, in itself many pages long - and brought it to Mag to read. It made him happy. I would say "very happy" but he doesn't have the energy to show that much emotion, heh. He says he's looking forward to coming back and posting his thanks to you all.

I'm off to print out some articles and stuff to add to the pile of books and newspapers he keeps on his bedstand. (If you want to point me to anything you think he'll enjoy, please post a link.) Things are kind of hectic so I'm not posting much, but know that I'm keeping you and yours in my thoughts with deepest gratitude for your kindness and caring.
