It is immensely reassuring to see your post, BBella, and to know that you now feel well enough to log onto the website. May you go from strength to strength!

dhw: I am back after a magnificent holiday, but am confronted with a massive backlog of things to be sorted out. This includes the large amount of material posted on the forum since I went away. I‘m particularly glad to welcome reblak, and will try to respond to his interesting new approach in the next few days, but it will take me some time to catch up. Just wanted to reassure anyone who is interested that I am alive and well and eager to rejoin the discussions!

bbella:Welcome back, dhw! Great to hear your holiday was magnificent! I too welcome reblak to our group and hope to hear more from his interesting perspective.

Also, I wanted to let the group know that I too am finally back, catching up with the posts. I am post operative over 4 weeks from a successful open heart surgery for a congenital heart defect from which I am recovering nicely. It's good to finally have some clearing of the mind as I ween myself from my only interest of my next pain pill and the television. It has been quite a ride, but I am extremely thankful to be on the other side of what has been the greatest challenge of my life so far.

Wow: Open heart is no fun. So glad you are OK. Awaiting the next battle with dhw for all to enjoy. Hoping reblak (John) will resurface.

dhw: This will be my last post for approximately ten days. I am going on holiday with my family, and will have no access to the Internet. By the time I return, I expect David to have solved all the mysteries of the universe!

Just the majority! Have a wonderful time, with love to everybody.
