Doctor says Wonder Dog Fever typically lasts 6-10 days, depending on severity. So I'm ballparking a 4 week recovery time.

By the way Orel, as I was reading this, I was subconsciously playing 'guess-the-poster'. I couldn't decide between you (flawless formatting + use of hyperlinks) or Delino (Mets + Youtube tie-in).

One day we will form Orel DeShields, creating flawlessly formatted, hyperlinking Mets posts with YouTube videos!
