[meteorite-list] Home (finally) and thanks.

[Walter Branch]

Hello Everyone

Well, where do I start.  I can't start at the beginning because I don't 
really remember much of it.  Suffice it to say that I am home now.  My 
recovery is nowhere complete as I need 2-3 more surgeries in a few months. 
I am ambulatory with the aid of a walker and I literally had to learn to 
walk, batch, lift, etc all over again.  I can walk a few feet unaided but I 
will have to curtail that activity a bit because I fell last night trying to 
change my shirt and the incident incurred the wrath of my wife!

I have four drainage bags either attached to or hanging from my abdomen. 
Yuck! I have other injuries as well which will take up to a year to heal.

Well enough about me.  Words cannot adequately express the sincere 
appreciation I have for your emails, donation of money and meteorites and 
general "hang-in-there" support
and encouragement.

I will try to answer individual emails as my tired body will allow.  I lost 
25-30 lbs. while in the hospital and I get exhausted easily,  I have to rest 
now but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate all you have done for 
me and my family.
