Afraid not fully.

We are a lot better but seeing specialists for residual problems (my back and wife's leg).

I am having difficulty sitting at the desk for more than 30mins before I get back spasms. Jan still has pronounced limp we are trying to solve.

One thing good thing this sobering episode has done...FINALLY... Ive set in motion the winding up my business. Life is too short for continued "nose to the grindstone".

As a good friend said " there are no pockets in shrouds".

I think that there are always episodes in life that bring into focus certain aspects of life.
Money is of value when it allows you to do things but having it does guarantee you a long life or health.

You will get there Eric. My time for re-evaluation came out of the blue a couple of years back with cancer. A year of ops etc made me review things. Trouble is our jobs were fun (on the whole) and satisfying and the cash was useful too. Can't take it with you though.

Take care.

Sorry to hear you are still facing some physical issues, Eric.

On the retirement side of things. I can only predict that in short order you will be very happy that you pulled the rip cord. I know I worried about it incessantly and, once done, everything in my life improved - especially on the physical side. You will be amazed at how the stress will just lift from your shoulders and you will feel better all over. (at least that's what happened for me and I hope for you, too.)
