Oh man Peter, I am so glad you are OK now. The “listen to your body” lesson even we in healthcare have to heed. All the best to you and your family! Patsy

Thanks, Patsy. In healthcare, we are so used to putting patients ahead of ourselves, that it can get us in trouble sometimes. Best to you and yours. —Peter

Wow, so thankful you are better. I had to laugh when you were called to consult yourself. Doug is getting over pneumonia, doing well now. Healing on knee replacement too, its a hard recovery with PT. Sending my love , prayers and blessings. Be a good patient. Carol Henry

Thank you for sharing this story. We are of the generation that always “sucks it up” and keeps working. Lessons learned! Best wishes.

This is a scary story that I wish was a fictional account. I'm so sorry this happened to you. And I'm so grateful that you chose to share it with everyone with your trademark humor and wisdom. Wishing you and yours the very best of health and happiness in the new year to come. Kristi
