Hi Gene,
Wow, that is one hell of a thing to go through. Glad you are home, and on the mend.
Maria must be relieved. You have a lot of friends here on the forum. I will continue to send prayers for you, and your whole family.
Take care of yourself, ask for help when you need it (I always have had trouble doing that !). This ageing thing is a bitch sometimes, and
we never got a service manual to help us navigate getting older.
Music is medicine, so I hope you are able to enjoy that great system that you have put together.
Thanks for the update, was wondering how you were doing.

Yikes! I'm so glad you're out of the hospital and home and the prognosis sounds very promising. Do you think Maria would mind a nurse hovering about?
