I tried several times to post a reply over there at LL, but even though I can log in like normal, I can't get the reply to recognize me, and it asks for a local password I don't have, being a global user. Very frustrating.
Anyhow, I can't say very much now that hasn't already been said by the community there. I agree wholeheartedly that personal health issues are way more important than anything else, and must be the #1 priority. I hope things will work out for the best for Rick, and will keep him in our prayers. Keep the faith, bro, and good luck.
