Title: Best Wishes
Post by: lilys field on December 01, 2018, 06:03:52 AM
A veteran Chihuahua player is in the intensive care unit and doing well enough to be expected to be moved to a regular area of the hospital.  Forty-one years ago he was the toastmaster at my wedding.  Please join me in sending best wishes for the full recovery of Alzono Q. 

Heartfelt support to all who play this game…which yields, joy, distraction, relief and sustenance to so many.

Special thanks to our host, Alan, for making this possible and to the entire community of players.

Hi Paula,

I second your remarks about the game, the forum and Alan's remarkable effort.

Please pass on to A-Q my best wishes and in particular my hope for a quick and full recovery and return to the game.

I'd noticed his absence from the top of the scoreboard recently and wondered where he was.  I hope to see him back soon.

Please pass on my best regards, Paula.  He is a mighty force in this game and will be sorely missed from the top of the board!

Alonzo is indeed a veteran player. He is one of that select band who registered as a player within about 24 hours of the registration option being introduced in December 2006. And of course he had been playing for some time before that. Those were the days before the forum, before trophies and rosettes, before the shuffle button, before the ten-letter puzzle, before My Puzzles, before Chihuahua books...

Have a speedy recovery, Alonzo Quixote de la Mancha y Granada y Chihuahua (from one of AQ's first forum posts (http://Alonzo Quixote de la Mancha y Granada y Chihuahua)). We look forward to seeing your nom de jouer back up on the scoreboard very soon.

Very best wishes for a speedy and lasting recovery AQ. Thanks for the "heads up" Paula.

Surely your many gracious remarks will do much to spur Alonzo's recovery and when he is up and about he will respond with his usual colorful enthusiasm.

(pretend all that is written in multi-colored fonts, a la AQ)

I've gone back now, and read some very early Forum entries....sorry it took Intensive Care to get me to read the "story behind the name".
Now I know! Look forward to seeing it back on the scoreboard.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery A-Q,
Moyra

I too hope Alonzo Quixote regains his health and I can't believe he is real because I've been in awe of his prodigious talent since I started playing just over two years ago. I remember asking if he was real and very quickly other players told me he absolutely was! I had noticed he wasn't on the scoreboard. All the best to an absolute champion of Chihuahua.

If the intensive care residence is heart related, I can provide some hints and tips on dealing with the aftermath. Been there myself. He might find some of my suggestions useful. :)

Any news on Alonzo Q, please, Lily field?

hi Anona, Thnks for asking.  Spoke t AQ shortly after my last post. He sounded strong. I believe he is still in hospital.  Will keep all informed when I learn more .   He was heartened to hear of words od cheer and concern from Chihuahuans.

Breaking news as of Sunday, December 9' NYC .  13 days in hospital, diagnosis still uncertain.AQ sounds alert & lively albeit bored.  May be relocated to rehab facility. Doesn't have devices to play Chi in hospital.

I Will check in with updates periodically. God bless your many kindnesses.  Forgive my many typing trespasses

Maybe somebody could take AQ a tablet so he can join in now & then!
Hope he's home for Christmas.

Thanks, lilys field. When my father was in hospital I took him chi on paper or sometimes texted it to him. But that's hardly the same thing, particularly for AQ! Hobbit, that's a nice idea. When I've been in hospital, a tablet has been a boon against boredom (I refuse to do boredom).

A pity there's no diagnosis. While we may not welcome some news, uncertainty and a feeling of possible delay in treatment is worrying, too.

Please pass on my continuing best wishes to AQ, lilys field, and excuse the incorrect autocorrection of your name last time.
