Great News that you are back, Bill! Unclogging arteries is one skill in which the medics are still ahead of the highway engineers.
On another note, think of all the bad karma you have disposed of, by eating all that hospital food. I was telling my wife today that considering the charges for room and board on the average hospital bill, they should have a 24-hour on-call room service, with gourmet menus. I personally plan to demand steaks, brandy and chocolate cake during my next incarceration, no more gruel, jello or dry toast. A man can't be well on that kind of diet.
Seriously, best wishes from Maine. We all weren't ready to do without you yet, and are delighted that we won't have to! And...may I presume to offer one heartfelt (pun intended) hope that you ditch the cigarettes for good? ---gunhou

Whew! You gave us a good scare for awhile. My theory is the kami blessings postponed that heart attack until you're within reach of proper medical care.

Maa-syaa-Allaahu-tabaroka-wa-ta'aala!
Welcome back, Pakcik Bill!
I guess itt was just an ordinary site visit or existence check by whom Pakcik Bill always called as Karma Police ... some other time he may visit me or any one of us as well ...
BTW - who actually invented that smoking practice - North American Indian OR South American Indian OR Asian Indian - anybody has the answer?
NEPAL HO!

"Bill's back" is good news.
"Bill's prognosis is good" is even better.
Bill, we care about YOU. Seriously. I'll give you a call about mid-week or so after you've had a bit more rest.
DO NOT feel like you've got to answer every message, or even every thread. Read a bit if you want but only what you can; trust Rusty to EMail you a copy of anything actually important. OK?
Rest up, figure you're in this for the long haul. Everything else will take care of itself.
I thank the diety of your choice (or ALL of 'em) it happened stateside.

Welcome back Uncle Bill! We will continue to remember both you and your family in our prayers. Be proud of the way your family here on the board carried on in your absence, even with you gone the same nature of brotherhood and friendship continued. That is one of the greatest compliments a man can receive.

Welcome back Bill. The Khukuri Klan has missed you. Take it easy, and have a speedy recovery.

Uncle,
Welcome home! It's good to have you back at the Cantina! Your presence was missed during your absence. Rest well, and recover fully. We're all still as crazy as ever, and the HIKV has flared up for many of us while you were away! Take care of yourself, and if you don't, I hope that Yangdu will (women have a knack with stuff like that
).

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Just thought I'd check in and ditto the previous sentiments. I'm very glad you're back and very happy to receive the good report on your recovery. I've benefitted from your knowledge and experience as much as anyone.
