I extend my sincere hopes for a successful outcome and a swift return, Shadow. Please take good care of yourself and receive my well wishes for a speedy recovery. Regrettably, my friend, I have only just come across your email and upon arriving here to compose a blog, I discovered that you had already taken care of it.
