[Elfsea] Mater Darius - Surgery

[Libbie Greene]

Having gone through the very same thing in November I can understand exactly how
he feels. In a few weeks he will be up and ready to take the field so stand by!
I hope that he will have a speedy recovery and that the pain will subside in a
very short time.
Best wishes!
