She's doing as well as can be expected, only time will tell if the surgery worked this time. Edited May 18, 20242 yr by Fred W. Hargis Jr Report

I plan on retiring relatively soon. Congratulations John. I'm happy that you were able to transition to the office to complete your working career. I think a lot of employers would have just let you keel over out in the desert or force you into a medical retirement. Now you might actually find the time and energy to do some woodworking or maybe do some retirement planning with a clear head Report

Had to modify the space bar, and the large shift keys to fit the Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Keyboard. (Got cheap due to a broken key cap) Outer post spacing was a bit off on those two keys, easy fix with a few bits of scrap plastic and a little PVC cement. Report
