Glad to hear from you.
You've been in our thoughts and prayers, Michael.

I don't say "get well" - long story bad, bad, bad. However I wish you a speedy recovery.

Michael:

I just saw your brother Dan's note about your surgery. So glad to hear that you are kicking after they went in to unplug things. I read as much of your material as I can -- and you are greatly missed.

All the best in your recovery. From your DC fan,

So the rumour that you were the reserve US ice hockey goalie at the Olympics was untrue?

Just glad you're still with us - and take your time, relax and enjoy your family. We'll cope without you for a bit.

Another DC fan, UM Law 2002 (didn't have any classes with you)--hoping you are recovering well, your postings are missed--will more thoroughly read the Habermas article to see me through the hiatus. All best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Posted by Tom D at March 4, 2010 01:03 PM

I've been wondering over the past few days where you were. Sorry to hear that the absence wasn't for fun reasons, but glad to hear that you're still kicking.

Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Posted by Kevin Gaunt at March 4, 2010 01:35 PM

Best wishes. At least, though, we can now definitively state that we know of a lawyer who has a heart.

Posted by C.E. Petit at March 4, 2010 02:07 PM

All the best Micheal, and may you have a speedy recovery.

Michael,

Yikes, and very glad to hear you're on the mend.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from a regular reader and occasional commenter.

Posted by Steve at March 4, 2010 05:44 PM

Another wish that you may have a speedy recovery and energy to write!

Posted by Judith Bush at March 4, 2010 05:46 PM

Best wishes. I really enjoy reading you (although I thought your WP column was better than your HuffPost stuff, mostly because you wrote every day there). Speedy recovery and best wishes.

Glad to know you're ok (sorta). Convalesce!

Posted by BroD at March 4, 2010 06:48 PM

Get well, Michael.

Thanks to Dan for letting us know--I had been worried also. Hope you will soon be feeling better...

Get well soon.

Stopped reading WaPo after they let you go ( no one left worth reading). Best wishes for a quick and full recovery.

Posted by Mark Smeraldi at March 4, 2010 07:56 PM

Speedy recovery, Mr F. Miss your good work.

Posted by Cindy at March 4, 2010 08:34 PM

I was relieved to see this, and I'm glad to you're on the road to recovery. Best wishes.

Very glad that you're recovering. Hang in there.

Posted by Mikki Barry at March 4, 2010 09:01 PM

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Michael. The scar won't look great at the beach but you can bounce right back. My father had open heart surgery several years ago and now camps, fishes, does pretty much everything he likes. Take care, and good luck.

Posted by Matt at March 4, 2010 09:19 PM

Mr. Froomkin,

You are so highly regarded, it is hard to say it clearly without appearing to pander.
Suffice it so say, your character, upbringing, and intellect reflect very well on your parents, teachers, and family.

Don't worry about a thing. The world will continue to revolve, and evolution will continue - no matter what
others may think, say, or do. Just take care of yourself, and make your decisions strictly for your own good and
that of your family.

Posted by Dave Porter at March 4, 2010 09:24 PM

Get well soon and take it easy!

Posted by Mustang Bobby at March 4, 2010 09:36 PM

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. I hope it's a speedy one.

Posted by Randy Paul at March 4, 2010 10:00 PM

I've been checking most everyday and searching for news. Sorry to hear of your circumstances but glad to hear that you are recovering.

Posted by Dana Barker at March 4, 2010 10:10 PM

Speedy recovery and well wishes

Speedy Recovery, Michael!!! I'm very glad to hear you're on the mend.

Get better faster. Best of wishes.

Without you a bow tie is just a bow tie. Get feisty again soon!

Glad you're back in 'The World' and have a speedy recovery.
Missed your face out here !
Listen to the Doc's and keep that sense of humor, it's critical !!

Posted by Chuck at March 5, 2010 10:02 AM

Get well soon, Michael, but don't get well too soon. A cashier at my local Giant counseled me one day about returning to work too soon after my hip replacement surgery. (I was in the store, buying groceries, and walking on crutches.) She told me that the recovery period would be one of the few times in my adolescent or adult life when I could actually do little or nothing all day, and no one could say anything about it. She was right. During my recovery, I read a few more books, I watched more movies, and I was able to experiment legally with tylenol #3. Hips ain't heart, though, so you be careful.

Most people just have server issues to blame for their blog absence ... you go all the way!

Makes me grateful for modern medicine. Take care.

Posted by none at March 5, 2010 02:06 PM

Wow, glad to hear you're doing well enough to dictate a reply at least. Take it easy and don't short-change the recovery process. Oh, and you got the replacement parts with the lifetime warranty, right?

Posted by Ed Bott at March 5, 2010 02:21 PM

We all missed you mate , i hope you are back finally to our reading needs like you did in the past , your work is fun to read and i admire your thoughts a lot . KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB.

We look forward to when you can return back at the keyboard and lecture podium soon.

Hope to see you at the 30th Reunion in New Haven in 2012 if not before !

We're keeping all of you in our thoughts. Send Caroline or Dan to me if they need assistance w. insurers or providers. Let your health care attorney friend be of some use, if you need it.

Feel better, Michael! Getting older isn't for sissies, as we know. All best, Debbie Gaines

Posted by Deborah Gaines at March 5, 2010 10:31 PM

Hope that this has given you some reflection time. Illness is always a good time for reinvention. Of course we like the way you are and hope for a vital recovery.

Get well soon, Professor Froomkin. May all the good karma you've built up over the years pay off in spades now that you need it.

Posted by Marc J. Randazza at March 7, 2010 09:12 PM

Get well soon. There is no doubt that this experience is a trying one, but it will make you stronger.

Posted by Satyricon_Reader at March 7, 2010 11:39 PM

Just saw this, GET WELL SOON!!

Posted by South Florida Lawyers at March 8, 2010 02:02 PM

Michael,

I was shocked/surprised/befuddled to learn that you required emergency open-heart surgery! Emergency surgery is scary. Glad everything looks positive. Been there done that 10 years ago and it changed my life. As everyone said, take your time coming back. Nothing is more important than health.

Professor Froomkin,

I am glad to hear you are doing better. We have not heard a lot of information on campus other than the initial emergency and I know a lot of us were concerned. I look forward to your return. I prefer no one else to learn from about automated crossbow/spring gun hypotheticals!

Posted by Eric Schmidt at March 13, 2010 03:05 PM

I /was/ wondering what happened. (My hiatus is not nearly so well excused.) Best wishes for your healing!

Posted by JudiC at March 15, 2010 04:02 AM

Take care of your body. Remember that if you're living, it's the most important thing you must take care of. Michael Sheds is looking forward to your fast recovery.

Posted by Sheds at March 21, 2010 03:04 PM

Good to hear that was wondering , there has been not a post from your side for a very long time now.
Hope you are fine and ready to thrill the readers with your articles and writings.
