Somehow I am not surprised. Seems to be more chance of contracting something in the hospital than out with all those sick people there.

He's a Marine, what do you expect?

Welcome Back!

Glad to have you back, Mark. You are living proof that you can't keep a good man down.
Either that or you're just too darn awnry.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Mike, something (probably during surgery) has damaged or destroyed the nerves to my left hand and as of now it is worthless,

Sponge rubber, but too weak to squeeze that even. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. They tell me it's a little better everyday.

Thats good! FYI Even moving your fingers on that hand with your other hand is very good for it... It helps with "muscle memory" even though you can't make them move if you can simulate normal movement for them the muscles will start to work on their own.

Hey Good Morning Mark!

Hope ya feel better today!
