It's good to have friends!

Let me just start by saying thank you for all your wonderful cards and well wishes! I really do appreciate them all!

I need to tell you this story ...

My DH does some computer work for a non-profit organization The Geek Group and the founder and he have become very good friends over the past few years. Well Duck (the Geek Group founder) and I were talking a few months ago and he said to me, "If there is anything I can do for you or your family, let me know!" Well EVERYONE says that, so I didn't think too much of it at the time, but he was dead serious! After I had my surgery and I realized hat I couldn't sit at my computer chair comfortably anymore I IM'd Duck with a request. I really wasn't expecting anything, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask, so I asked him if he had a laptop that was donated that they weren't using that I could borrow/have. Like I said, I thought it was a long shot, but why not, right? Well I got an IM from Duck yesterday telling me to watch my mail and to have fun with my new toy! Not 15 minutes later UPS showed up with a package! Inside was ...

a laptop! I couldn't believe it! Duck had sent me his personal laptop to use while I'm recovering and to keep if I want to keep it! He said he wasn't really using it and he knew I would really appreciate it!

So I'm writing this post from my "new" laptop, from the comfort of my couch! It's good to have friends!
