YAY!!! Just talked to Martin Montgomery, and he's recovering nicely, and may be allowed to go home later today, or more likely tomorrow!!! He sounds in good spirits, and is grateful for all the concern, calls and well wishes, but he's really wishing he had a laptop so he could get on R/F and FB to thank everyone himself! LOL
For those of you who haven't heard, he was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery on Tuesday, Dec. 1st, for complications from a hernia affecting his intestines, and everything went well and he is feeling better every day.
So many people are praying for you, and wishing you a speedy recovery, dear one, and there are special hugs and kisses headed your way, as well! Take care, and remember... 30lb limit does not mean 30lbs in each hand!!! Take it easy, and take a break every once in a while... We love you! :-*
Oh my. Glad to hear he is doing better. Best of luck on recovering and remembering to follow those silly rules they put on you.
Martin is the kind of man that you can't tell "take it easy", Rani... He'll need his rest but you know as well as i, that he'll be at it again sooner than he should! ;)
MARTIN! GET WELL AND DO AS THE SAWBONES TELLS YE, BROTHER!! Prayers of strength to ye...
Oh, darlin', I'm sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Take good care of yourself - we want to see your handsome mug at faire next year and for many many years thereafter. *pay heed to your leeches - that's what they get paid for*
Been praying for you big brother! I'm glad to hear you're doing better.
But you better take it easy or else I will drive down there and make sure you do.
Sending love your way! :-*

I know, Fraser, but I gave him hell for it, and he knows I'm not above taking the flogger to him if he doesn't behave for at least a while!!! He's promised me that we'll sit by the fire whilst others do the heavy lifting at Sherwood, if I manage to make it out there for opening. If not, then I trust you all to see to it that things are quite literally "taken out of his hands" when he tries to over-do the next time! ;)
We will watch him like a hawk at Sherwood, No Worries!
Martin, so glad to hear you are healing well. No more scaring us all like that, you hear? I need you hale and hearty so I can stock up on those wonderful hugs when I see you next!
Love you tons and glad to hear you are doing better. Thanks for updating us all, Rani (and Messyn)!

You got that right... he may not be waited on, hand & foot, but he'll not be doing anything while i'm around. ;D
Wow, I had no idea!
Dude, get well, take it easy, all that! I know you were busting your butt all weekend, so take a break!
Well wishes from Dan and Tindy, my friend!

I know you will, Lish, and I'm so grateful you're all down there to keep him in line! I never would have known if it weren't for Messyn, so I need to thank her, also, for getting the word out so quickly!

Oh, I have the feeling there will be several wenches waiting on him, for a while, at least... ;) LOL And I know I can count on all you big, strong kilted lads to take over the bulk of the work Martin usually handles in camp, while he's recovering! Maybe he can sit and stir the fire for a while... :D
Hmmm... have to recruit some dancing girls, and maybe a grape peeler or two... that might keep him in one place for a while! heheh
Martin, you have been in our prayers and will continue to be. Wish we were closer so I could get one of your world-famous hugs and give you some of our family's TLC in return. Feel better soon!!
I just spoke to Monte on the phone, he ask me to let everyone know that he is out of the hospital. He is on his way home right now. He said that he will check the forums and facebook tomorrow. Tonight he is going home and going to bed!
Oh, HUZZAH!!! I'm soooo glad he'll be able to get home and get comfortable, without someone coming in every 15 minutes to take blood, check vitals and just generally keep him from resting. I hope he's got someone to come over and help him, though. I know he's got family near by... I just wish I was closer so I could at least take him some good nourishing broth (and Jello) while he's making his way back to solid food...
Take it easy, dear... and don't hesitate to call if you get bored and want someone to talk with!!! :)
When I talked to him he was with his sister. She was in Walgreens getting his pain meds.
Martin... I thought we had enough of doctors for this year? :) I'm glad to hear you are recovering well. Get plenty of rest!

Oh, good! I was hoping she might help him...
Hoping for a speedy recovery for ya sweetie, gonna need some of those wonderful hugs of yours to keep me warm at Sherwood. So follow your dr.'s orders and rest up , OK? Love ya!
Monty get better or else I'll have to step in..And you DON'T want me having to make you take it easy. If you need anything bro let me know. Take it easy for a while so you can be well enough to handle all those women that always flock around you.. :D
Oh my goodness. I just came across this. Feel better soon!
MM came up to me at Scarby last year and became an instant friend....what a nice and friendly guy.
Get well soon Martin..... perhaps Merlin will perform the chant of making for you to speed up your recovery.
"Anál nathrach- Orth' bháis 's bethad- Do chél dénmha"
Just got off the phone with a very groggy MM, and he says he'll be online soon to say thanks for all the well wishes! He's home, but moving kinda slow (thanks to the pharmaceutical industry), and his family is helping him.
So glad you're feeling a bit better, hon!!!
:-[ To EVERYONE that has passed on thier Prayers,Well Wishes,Threats and other Incentives (The Dancing Girls and Grape Peelers....OR was it Dancing Grapes and Girl Peelers?!?!? ;D ) I give you ALL my Eternal THANKS!!!!! I knew from DAY ONE that I had been Blessed with Great Friends and Fairemilly,but when something like this happens it brings us ALL closer! Thank You All Once Again!!
Martin, I just came across this thread. Sorry i did not see it sooner dear friend. So sorry to hear you have been ill. Will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
Enjoy those dancing girls and grape peelers. LOL !
And yes, we do have a great bunch of people on here !
Glad you are home, Monty. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. I look forward to seeing you at Sherwood in a few months.
Martin - Glad you're healing up. Heres more prayers that ya heal up quickly. Take Care Brother.
KP and Lady Kitara
Martin, heal up well or else I may have to force you to ride StudMuffin till you are up to snuff.
Take Care and get well.
Martin, I'm so glad you're back home. Take care of yourself - I expect a big hug at faire next year!
Now see, Martin... there are lots of people who expect you to be around, instead of on the injured list, so you need to take it easy, understand?!?
Fraser, as his Order Laird, I expect you to keep him in line, please!!! I'll have to flog you both if he re-injures himself!!! :P ;)

I just am catching up! Have not had the magick box on for a few days! BIG HUGS Martin! Glad you are better! Stay well!
;D Still doing well, I have an appointment to get the staples out next Tuesday and then it will probably still be two weeks before they let me go back to work!! There are NO light duty jobs at our Jail....If you are there you do the Work!! and Rani,I will do as instructed! I have no wish to return to the ER!!
Just be careful, please, and take care of yourself!!! You're in my thoughts, dear!
Think of it as the post TRF vacation that you definitely need but would never give yourself if it were not forced upon you. So glad you are still doing well. *extra special get well hugs*
