John, What an experience! Glad to hear you are at home and that is where you will heal the fastest and the best. Sorry for your pain and what a curve ball. I have you on my prayer list and in my rembering part of my limited brain recall. Best of luck and may 2007 bring you fast healing, happiness and enjoyment of life. A ham friend, Jack wa5rop
