First day in living memory that I didn't get into VR.com.........and I missed your Birthday Hank.

I know you had a good day - Have many, many more.

Happy Birthday, Hank, albeit belated! Didn't find this thread till today, but certainly am grateful to you for creating and maintaining this website.

Without what you have done and are doing here, my encounter with heart valve surgery would have been a whole different ball game, and surely not nearly as good a one.

Thanks again and again and here's a toast to many more birthdays for you.

Many warm and happy returns, Hank. You have above our own family greeting, taken from Winnie the Pooh = Hippy Pippy Pappy Bithudidday (Owl's attempt to spell Happy Birthday!).

While on voluntary and involuntary misspellings (rife in a medium this fantastically fluid), found myself wondering whether, in your reply, "kucky" meant you deemed yourself "lucky" or "kooky" to be in with this crowd. I think it might be both! One of the blessings of this kind of community is freedom to be a bit kooky and let it all hang out -- emotions, needs, hopes, fears as well as "facts"! Sounds to me like the best kind of therapy and the only way to deal with something as heavy and in need of leavening humanity as valve surgery.
