Default Hi.

Well after almost a week I am home from my stay at Toronto General and the first order of business (after a shower, real food, and whatever you think comes next) is to say "Thank You" to everyone here on the Forum for their wishes, notes, and prayers. Due to the electronic warehouse I was connected to I was not able to use either my IPhone or BB so I was really out of touch. When I would talk with Valerie she kept making vague reference to how surprised I'd be when I got home or something about how many friends I have. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about and once or twice thought maybe she didn't either. Well like I said I got home a little while ago, Valerie showed the thread she started and I read it all. I read all the pm's that people sent to her. I am overwhelmed by the good vibes sent our way by all of you and can only say "thanks". However, thanks won't really cut it when t comes to the Frank (MAYMYVETTELIVEFOREVR) and the entire MAYMYVETTELIVEFOREVR family. Everyone here already knows what you did Frank and all the comments about you being CFCE member of the year are right on! I have the pm's and the pics and will go through it slowly in the next couple of days. To those who pm'd me, Mike (RAGGDOLL), Rob, and anyone else who I just can't remember at the moment I will get back to each of you soon. I hear it's going to be sunny tomorrow so I'm hopeful I can get out and have a look at all your hard work Frank. I'm sure I'll have more to say on this later but for now as I said earlier I cannot think of anything to say but Thank You.

If it weren't for the phone call I wouldn't have known to come to this thread. I'm really glad you're out of the hospital and feeling better. Valerie is one special lady as I know she takes care of you well.

All you had to do is say you couldn't make it down to my place Mike, you didn't have to go to this extent to get me to come to your place. I'm glad I was able to help but, part of the credit goes to Mick as he repaired your passenger arm rest, as well as several other items right after he got off work. Time was tight and the help was welcome. Thanks Mick.

As mentioned there are a couple other parts you need to purchase but I'm sure you have time based on my McGyver skills.


Oh and remember, the warranty ended when I parked it in your garage.

Take care of yourself Mike; we need you around for a looooong time and hope to see you around this summer. And Val, thanks.

Glad to hear you're doing well!

TGH? I was there with the wifey on Monday -- I would have visited, however doubted you or the nursing staff would have appreciated a visitor at 4am. (Wifey is okay)
