Am pleased to report after a month of harassing nurses and putting hotsauce on my hospital food that I am now home. Everything looks good for a (relatively) speedy recovery. I am still rather wiped so it will be a while I can sort through 5000 or so list and private mails. In the mean time I want to thank you folks in advance for the support and calls from around the world, it was and is appreciated. As I get stronger and more settled in I hope to send out some less generic stuff... At 05:58 PM 5/16/2005, AndyB wrote: >All, > >I Just spoke to Mark Stevens at NYU Hospital.
