How's he doing? How did the evaluation come out? What has happened to common sense!? A zylophone? Sheesh!

Sorry to hear about PM's travails. I have got quite fond of him through your stories - he seems to be quite a character. I hope he gets home soon.

I've been off pbase for a couple of weeks. Is he ok? Is out of the hospital? Why the f#%k did they send in a psycho? If you can't name off all the groceries in the supermarket, you don't deserve to live free in your old age? That man maybe backward, but he's still sharp as a razor. I can see it in his eyes! Did they get his plumbing open??

If only more people lookde at life in the simple and honest way that PM (and you) do.

Pssht. I bet the psychologist couldn't tell a possum from a hole in the ground. Tell PM to hang in there. Better still, print out this page for him...
Guest 21-Jun-2005 03:53
Priceless expression, Karen. Get well soon, PM!
Guest 20-Jun-2005 08:46
Don't think much of that is particularly relevant to PM's way of life. If he's fit enough I hope he can continue.

I always wonder why social service agencies don't have an anthropologist as, at least, a consultant to avoid these cultural differences issues. His expression says that he really values and likes you...
Guest 20-Jun-2005 03:06
get well soon pm..we want to see you outside..his eyes look sharp as a tack to me..keep us informed Karen

Oh wow, my dad went from chf some 23 years ago, but I still remember the hospital. Wonderful shot, it really evoked some feelings for me on Dad's day. Will keep some good thoughts here for Possum Man.

I agree completely with all the below sentiments, Karen.
We're all rooting for PM's recovery, and your friendship.
Guest 20-Jun-2005 00:40
Oh Karen...what a wonderful friend you are to this man! I hope everything works out in his true best interest.

Wishing the possum Man quick recovery.

Poor guy. I hope he gets better soon and back at home.
JeremyGood19-Jun-2005 17:14
He looks so out of place, hope he's back in the woods soon.
Cliff19-Jun-2005 16:48
What a dilemma.
PM likely will not do well in a nursing home, but his heart condition may preclude him from returning home to the environment in which he thrives. Growing old sometimes ain't no fun at all.
Wonderful photo and story Karen. Our best wishes to PM. He has a good friend in you.

Your commentary adds so much to the photo (which is good by itself too). Hope he improves and can return home.
Gayle P. Clement19-Jun-2005 14:22
I hope everything turns our well for him.

Poor Possum Man. Good thing he has you.
Gary Blanchette19-Jun-2005 12:24
It is so awesome that he has a friend like you Karen. Thanks for sharing.
laine8219-Jun-2005 12:21
I'd say if they want to see him wither then put him in a home. Poor old chap, leave him be as from what I've seen he looks after himself just fine.
jude19-Jun-2005 11:12
I never seem to get on the meta this early and miss a lot of your work.. I'm drawn to PM.. dunno why, but he has this face.. and you capture his spirit/character very well. He has that look you describe, but there is a sadness and a bit of fear in his eyes.. I'm keeping my fingers so crossed. I hate the "tv people"
Guest 19-Jun-2005 11:06
I say let Possum is able to continue to trap he should be left to own care and not the indignity of a nursing home. He's lucky to have friends like you Karen.
