Just want to say thank you to those who have enquired about my well being these last few weeks. I am not going to be able to reply to each of the pm's that I have received, there are just too many of them.

For those that do not know I had a heart bye-pass procedure last year to replace a valve that was defective. The valve that they used was not compatible with my blood group, and resisted all attempts to be integrated with my system. The result was a second procedure to change the type of valve for one less likely to be rejected by my body. That procedure took place just after the new year. So I guess you could say I am now permanently water cooled. The good news was that the new valve was accepted by my body. And no further problems there.

Unfortunately I did something silly. I did not allow my body to heal. I tried to do to much too soon. I tried to clear some snow from my drive and slipped and did some real damage to myself less than a week after the procedure. I have spent the last few weeks in hospital paying for that hubris. Look hubris up if you do not know what it means. 🙂

But as of this afternoon I am back home and will be on the forum from Monday. It is quite late in the morning and I am wide away, so I have snuck down stairs to my PC an logged on. My wife has become very protective of me and removed all means of engaging with the internet from my access.

All I can say is that I have missed my friends here on ROG and can not wait to be able to part of our great community again. So those that have pm'd me for assistance or help I have not ignored you purposefully, and than you for all the well wishes from those who knew I was having some health issues.
