   Chad,

   Nice to hear things are going well...thanks for stoping back in and providing a follow-up.  Those naps can be really good for you especially if it's late morning and mid to late afternoon....that is the time of day you have a growth hormone release which really helps your body repair itself...these are small releases but every bit helps...

      My mother-in-law had a heart trans-plant 6 years ago. You would never guess it. The heart came from a 16 year old teen girl in a traffic fatally. Don't ask me how, but she's been acting like she's "sweet 16" since.

      So with no further ado, go lift some 5 lb. wieghts. Pretty soon it will be 10, then 20, then whatever comes after that. I run out of toes and fingers past 20. You know, pretty soon it'll be real heavy. :>)

   Sincere wish for a full recovery...

   Fantastic, Chad!  Thanks for giving us an update, and you be sure to save enough energy to check in at Knots once when awhile.

   Chad,

   Great news.  I'm happy to hear things are working out well.  My mother's husband (It seems silly to call him my step-father because I was thirty-something when they married) had bypass surgery, and after he had recovered he went to the YMCA to work out every day, played golf once or twice a week, and puttered around in the garden.  He lived into his nineties, active and happy.

   Take care--take MUCH care,

   Alan

   Thanks, everyone, for your good thoughts, kind words, and encouragement. You might like to know that I spent the afternoon in my shop, strategizing how I'm going to build a new front storm door for my mother without lifting more than 10 pounds! Heh, heh, heh,...(Plane blades are going to have to be real sharp...)
