Updates
OK, we have some HPPROGS updates. First, you might have noticed that we’ve gone red. Yes, it is true. There is really no significance to the color change but hey, I thought I’d bring attention to it.
Second, if you haven’t noticed, hopefully you will notice over the next few days that our site isn’t down as much. Thanks to our wonderful listener, CoolCole who is graciously hosting HPPROGS on his server. We really appreciate the gesture from him and wanted to publicly thank him. Thank you!
Finally, me. Well, things are looking good. I went back to the spinal surgeon yesterday and he said that things are starting to improve. My babinski (if you haven’t listened to the last episode, sorry) is negative (that is a good thing) and in general my reflexes are much better than they were at my last appointment. This is really good news since it indicates that hopefully I won’t need surgery. Yay!!!! The pain is still there, but nowhere as bad and honestly the news from the doctor was so good that it has improved my mood so much that I can’t help but feel better.
So, once again thanks for all the notes, messages, e-mails, pictures, you name it- it has all been so helpful in making me feel better. We will most probably podcast at the normal time next week. Thanks again for everything. Y’all are great.

Really glad to hear you’re as much on the mend as is possible. As a listener “across the pond” who watches a grand total of none of the programs discussed in episode 34.5, I had every reason to not listen to the podcast beyond the 15 minute mark, yet found myself doing so nonetheless.
I have recently succeeded in coercing my girlfriend into reading all the HP series so far… She’s on PoA and has recently admitted (under huge moral protest) to being well and truly hooked. So here’s to Potter virgins and Spinal injuries… All the best Xx

So glad you’re doing better!! I’ve also had a herniated disc, but mine wasn’t in my neck … more in the, umm, southern region of the back. Somehow, having my baby smooshed the stuff back into place, and I can deal now. How weird is that? I hope you get better soon … do they have you doing physical therapy, or is it too hight for that?

Oh my a change in color. It is in our nature to fear change but the color red represents many things including courage to face the changes in our lives that is inevitlble. Blood of the fallen heros. Strength and Power. It can raise your agression as well as your car insurance. The first color of the spectrum and a warning to stop or of danger. It’s also pretty flashy and cool. Is there nothing safe from prognostication?

I’m so glad you’re getting better!
and personally I like the blue better, blue is calming and tranquil.
but red’s good too, it’s alarming, and tells us WE NEED TO LOOK AT HP PROGS ALL THE TIME. haha
