Welcome back,
Miss Chicken.
The place isn't the same without you.
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. Hopefully the docs can take care of that and you can get back to being pain-free and going for walks.
And I think you underestimate your contribution to society. Anybody who does volunteer work has literally made a priceless contribution.
I'm also glad to hear some good news about the Tasmanian Devils.
