Hi Joe!
Getting switched to a new site is going to take awhile to get used to. You are right, getting better is what this is all about. My wife definately is happier with the outcome than any other possible gift.
Thanks,

Carmine I think you already gave your sweetheart a great gift and that was getting the surgery and on your way to recovery. When you go through things like this (being ill) and your wife or girlfriend is by your side this is what true love is all about. I'm certain she cares more about your health then some fancy dinner under the circumstances. Wishing you and your G/F the best. Take Care, Joe ;)

Hi Joe!
Glad you wrote! It was a harrowing experience also for my sweetheart. I felt bad about it for her to go through that on Valentines Day, of all the things to happen. The week that followed took our minds off of that holiday. I'll have to make it up to her somehow. Course, I'm not sure how to make all of the past year up to her. She has been terrific through it all. I don't know if I could have done it without her.

Carmine what a time to get a pulminary embolism but I am glad all worked out for you. Valentine's Day is for happy hearts not to get problems there so it sounds as you were a real lucky man. Glad to see you back and take care of yourself and stay positive. Joe ;)

Hi Ginger!
Good to hear from you! I have to check the "Gene Beane" posts carefully cause sometimes it's Gene and other times it's you. I want to make sure I can thank you both when you give me encouragement in separate posts. I lost some weight, so I updated the picture.
Thanks,
