Thank you to all our frienda here on The Forum, for the prayers, good thoughts and well wishers. It really made a difference, and I continue to read almost every post on here, but responding is taking l..o..n..g..time. Thanks for the lovely fowers. Now as to this S.O.B. condition, alleged condidtion, I admit to not suffering fools gladly, I just suffer them even less gladly. I expect to be sprung from the joint, er, rehab place some time next week, with a quick visit home to see my Salty boy, who I miss so much it hurts. I pray that he remembers me and does not hold me in his content for not saying goodbye properly. Usually, when I go on one of my extended trips to china I explain to him that I will be gone for 2 to 3 weeks, several times, and that seems to cut down on the Pissed Off period that most parrots go though.

Just typing this little bit is tiring, but am readkng' almost every post. Thanks again folks . I explained to my grandson that we have members from all over the world. I just hope I Can offer the same to our members and their FIDS.

We miss you, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we want you to take it easy and recover FULLY so you can get back to life as you want to live it.

Welcome back welcome back welcome baaaaaaaaaack!!!! The forum is not the same without you and dear Salty!

My hubby has a rebuilt ticker too (triple bypass in 2004) he runs rings around me with my same old original plumbing.

Looking forward to more pearls of wisdom from you and more tricks from Salty!

Welcome back! They say that elephants never forget, but I always say that should be changed to parrots never forget. No doubt Salty will remember you-- and he may punish you for a while for being away, but you'll soon be forgiven. Good luck with the rehab stay.

Welcome back above the deck there Pirate! Saw a red sky this evening and just knew that it was you lighting up the sky there! The Boat family held to the pack and kept the word, knowing those warm Amazon Feathers would continue they effort!

Salty will be ready at the door, a moment or two to assure your really there and all will be forgiven. Give him a huge Amazon Welcome and he will return the favor!

Missing you Pirate!

All are rescues- had to leave their previous homes for 'reasons', are still in contact with them :)
LOL I was worried there for a bit.

Glad some other people remembered Geri as well as your crazy cabinmate Salty - it's never easy to be the looker on in these situations, watching loved ones fighting the good fight, swimming sharkinfested waters etc..
After the keelhauling everything is going to be allright, yes? ;)

Hang in there, you tough old pirate, good to see you on deck again!

Welcome back! Well, it's a good think that you hadn't been in China when your ticker tried to de-tick itself!
Salty will remember you and will welcome you back home with open wings!

So glad to see this post! You’ve been missed, my friend. I suspect that Salty will somehow know the difference between this absence and a trip to China, and you may not have to pay the usual price. I know both he and Geri will be almost as glad to have you home as the forum is to have you back!

Great to hear you’re coming home soon! I’ve been away so wasn’t aware of your condition, but it’s wonderful that you’re okay, and getting out of that awful environment soon and coming home to Salty and your other loved ones.
