Hi Dave. Welcome to the board. Many of us can relate to your experiences and will welcome your input. Glad to hear you are recovering well and have learned the most important lesson that a serious illness can teach us - that each day is precious and should not be taken for granted. I tell my former co-workers that even Mondays are important and need to be appreciated but they haven't bought that one yet!

Look forward to hearing more from you.
