   Hey, Mike. Just thought I’d check up with you. Not sure when I last said “Hi”. I’m thinking it was probably after I broke my leg, buy they had me taking so many drugs there for a time, I can’t mentally arrange everything in the proper order. Anyway, it’s now 4 months post-break, and I’ve gone from totally immobile to wheel chair mobile to walker mobile to cane mobile, and driving a car, as it was my left leg that broke while I use my right leg to drive. I’m struggling to be able to walk short distances without a cane, but I look pretty awkward when I manage a few steps.

   I haven’t been checking in with GoComics very often since the leg break, so I’m really uninformed about virtually everything that’s happened since November 23rd. Feel free to catch me up to date.

   Here’s one thing I learned. When you’re asked what your pain level is on a scale of 1 to 10, If you’re not screaming out loud, it’s not a 10. Fortunately, it’s been quite a while since my pain level has been above 2.

   There’s a lot of ways to break your leg. Since breaking mine on November 23, 2024, I have learned that dogs are involved in a lot of broken legs and arms. Mine, to begin with.

   Chocolate can be poisonous to dogs. The higher the cacao concentration, the deadlier the poison.

   April, come she will

   When streams are ripe and swelled with rain

   May, she will stay

   Resting in my arms again

   June, she’ll change her tune

   In restless walks she’ll prowl the Night

   July, she will fly

   And give no warning to her flight

   August, die she must

   The autumn winds blow chilly and cold

   September, I remember

   A love once new has now grown old.

   April Come She Will,

   Show me! A few miles West in Texas, parade goers ask “Show me your boots”, as many float riders are wearing cowboy boots under their gowns.

   A number of folks on Charley’s Joke House have expressed interest in your joining us.

   I’d have the QB fitted for a new helmet. He seems to have had his bell rung at least once too often.

    Mike, if wishing and praying for improved health for you got immediate results, you’d be out in a sunny field tip-toeing through the tulips. Unfortunately, the Healing Department is inadequately staffed, so you will have to wait an unknown period of time for results.

    I don’t know if this is valid or not, but I have always believed that good sleep has healing properties. In that case, perhaps the sleep you started getting within the last week can be parlayed into something good. But secure yourself to any chairs you’re going to fall asleep in so you don’t hurt yourself again. If I fell asleep on the porcelain throne and fell off, I am pretty sure I would re-break my leg in the same place. And believe me, I have experienced enough pain to curse, although not in the past 4 weeks.

    Best wishes and prayers for your rapid recovery.

    Charlie.
