Actually, I've been back at home since late Thursday afternoon, but a problem with the Internet has prevented me from being online until now.
It is hard to express how much I appreciate how all of you have been during my hospital stay (which was harder than the pictures would suggest), but I will try.
Rose: I left you in charge in communications and I must say, that's one of the better decisions I have made lately. I won't forget how you deftly managed the email list and the blog during those ten days, and how you kept everyone in the loop.
But far more importantly, you kept my head above water. On those days and nights where I wasn't sure how I was going to make it to the next (with my mind intact, at least). You provided the right touch when I needed it, you said the right things, you encouraged me and loved me. Everything you did and continue to do had a love element to it that you don't find just anywhere. I hope that I can have half the strength you did when you face a similar hardship. I couldn't have done this without you.
