Oh, Pete! So sorry, and good luck with your recovery. One of my bosses did that last year, but he shattered his!
And Jocie, as his main care giver and therapy guru, my thoughts are with you in a huge way! Been there, done that with Jim more times than I like to remember. Hang tough, nurse or not! Also, as one of the TCR chief cook and bottle washers extraordinaire, your presence will be sorely missed! Will be thinking of you!
