Dear friends,
I am overwhelmed by your outpouring of kind words. And yes, it is a bit like waking from a nightmare to find I am only in a bad dream.
Barry, I still have my old van but I hate to replace it because it is so important in maintaining healthy employment levels for mechanics in Newfoundland and Arizona. But I hope to make the plunge this winter.
Al, I am planning to drive south to Arizona again about Christmas time if the aforementioned van will get us there.
Dani, I also recognized that most of my symptoms were UMN related, but I was reluctant to get my hopes up too much.
Thank you again,
John
