He had surgery last night to put in a bunch of pins and screws and whatnot, and is doing fine today, though he sounds pretty out of it due to the drugs. He’ll have to stay in the hospital for a few days, then to a rehab place for a few weeks before he can go home. If you’re so inclined, “get well” thoughts, vibes, prayers, whathaveyou would be appreciated.

    Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. All right. Let’s see if the automagical LJ xposter works for me this go ’round. If not, I can always use the old kludge method. If this works, then I’ve got to figure out how to (and if I’m going to) get my archive back. Whee. Did I mention I hate computers? (Nope, didn’t work. Kludge it is.)

    A plea for help: can someone poke around on my site a little bit? It’s probably going to take for-freakin’-ever, but it ought to come up eventually.
