getting worried.. about you...The bummer things about internet is that if 'something' happens to someone...you really don't know except thru others who really KNOW you or by accident...It for me can be a stressful one.
As for NO PROGRESS with you, well, The stress of a sick friend is just that: THE DREADED STRESS FACTOR! I will keep you both in my heart for Good things and not any other kind [simply not allowed].
In a way, no deterioration is maybe a good thing? Let's always put some 'frosting' on the whole scenario.. IT AIN'T worse, as Mark Twain thru Huck Finn would say? or something like that....
I am one who is truly, really honestly, GLAD you can check back! -

And if that doesn't make you cross-eyed I am sure I can come up with SOMETHING?
