Tricia that is an amazing offer...It means a lot from the side of the visitees. I had someone I met here on the forum come to see me when I was in the hospital and whose husband had the same doctor as me. I know it was extremely difficult for her to do but it meant the world to me. I am always amazed at how technology can bring people together. Pete you are lucky indeed. I know you have trouble with the trach, it is a nasty thing but you can do it. Hope you are doing ok. My thoughts are with you my friend and I keep sending you huge hugs!!!
