Thanks. There actually was a gang in Montpellier who tried to rob me a couple of years ago but they never got caught (and the police honestly didn't seem to care very much). It felt much worse because of their knives but I managed to get away thanks to a new world record in the men's 100 meters. Around 7 sec, I'd say...

For four weeks and it already itches...

It's his left arm, and he is right handed...so he can still use his rapier

Massage? Against a broken arm?

There is a nasty tension in my neck muscles and, come to think of it, I believe my back hurts pretty bad as well. Maybe it would be best if you stayed over for a couple of days, or at least came on very frequent visits? And bring some food, will you?

Doesn't sound good, perhaps I should take a look at it. Regarding food, I'll pop by the blood bank and see what they have - any special blood group preferences?

T' is also a health care professional, so maybe she could suggest some suitable treatment?

It's very strange, but ever since my arm got broken, I have this great desire for ordinary pizza (preferably with jalapenos on them).

She is? Maybe she would consider flying over for a week or two? I might be able to take at least some comfort, despite all my suffering and so on and so forth, in having two so lovely women tenderly supporting me in the every imaginable way.

Some people have all the luck.

Re: Write on my plaster cast!

Boy, that's really bad news Asty. Maybe we can scrape together some money to get you a flamethrower and then you can pay a...social visit...to those guys in the courtroom...

*scribbles "And remember, kids, however hard you are, the wall is always harder" on the cast*

*switches handwriting styles and scrawls "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME - HAR HAR" in huge letters on Astafas' forehead, then walks off whistling a merry tune*

No, normally the guys run away as soon as a bare my fangs, the girls think I look sexy and old people pursue me asking for eternal life.

So are you gonna sue Joss Whedon and the Buffy crew for misrepresentation? (just as soon as your amazing regenerative powers have taken effect)

I would think I would have to have a pretty long arm to write on your cast, which is in Sweden, and Im in Massachusetts, USA.

Sorry to hear about the incident. I must say Ive never been mugged but one of my classmates was. We go to New York as a field trip in our US history class. He was wearing a Boston Red Sox hat and he managed to get lost from the tour group. He said that he was confronted by 3 muggers in a dark alley. They had weapons (Dont know which ones) and they took his wallet and massacred the Boston Red Sox hat (In baseball, theres a fierce rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees). He said it was an ugly situation but he jokes about it now and again so hes alright. New York is not the safest city when you hit the delapadated part of the city.
