Hi, Alfred. I realized I hadn't seen one of your posts and came to your page to investigate. I'm sorry about your injury and want to wish you all the best for your surgery (which, according to my calculations, should be about now). Being an athlete will help you heal more quickly than doctors predict, and it's great that you're continuing to stay in condition through this. Sometimes, people come back even stronger after rehab. Good luck to you. One day, these months will seem like a blur.

Thanks everyone! Daisy, I actually watched the older episodes when I was younger, too. I always thought Tom Baker would be my favorite Doctor, but David Tennant was great, and Matt Smith is really starting to grow on me! The episode I watched on Saturday, "The Crimson Horror", was really good!
