Thanks Don, for posting this, I really appreciate your friendship over these many years.

To everyone else, your outpouring of love and kindness was overwhelming to say the very least. As I lay here in my hospital bed,reading everyone's well wishes,tears of emotion poured down my cheeks. The nurse was a bit worried until I shared the thread with her,then held my hand as I read the remaining posts.

I hope to be released in the next few days, but full recovery will take several weeks.

Thanks again,

Gary
