This came in an email from a friend of mine. I was able to get most of the email, but am not sure here. I tried the on line translators and word/phrase databases, but several words were missing. I'm thinking it could be a significant sentence and would like to get the menaing without having to ask her.

[b]Naja, vielleicht kommst Du mich ja mal besuchen und stattest mir einen Kranken-Besuch ab.[/b]

Sincere thanks for any assistance.

Naja, perhaps you come visit me once and suffer me stattest one-visit off.

Well, maybe you'll visit me one time and visit me in my sick bed.

'Naja, perhaps you will come visit me and pay a sick-visit.'

'Kranken-Besuch' must be idomatic German for a what we term a sick-call of sorts.

'abstatten', itself, means to pay a visit (to).

Where is [b]Kar98[/b] when you really need him?

He is usually underfoot! [:D]

Edited: Oh, there the little scamp is!
