I have been reading this thread and just not knowing what to say so didn't feel up to a reply until now. I am hoping that his ticker-enhancer will make him feel like a brand new man. I know a couple of pups and one lil ole kitty who are going to be real glad to see their Papa come home. Phred you take care and follow Doc's orders to the letter. My very best wishes to you for a speedy recovery. ((((hugs))))
