Default Get well soon!

So glad to hear that you're recovering. The trach and broken teeth sounds like a rough deal, but I guess it sure beats the alternative! Take care, Tom.

So, I'm thinking a #10 bulkhead fitting with a cap is all you need to fix that hole.

Glad to hear you are out of the woods. You are one of my favorite people and I hate to think that you are hurt. Get well buddy!

Tom,
Glad to hear you are home!!! Take your time recovering and try to relax for a while. RV folks always need it yesterday, we can wait! Let me know later on when you want to get back on the horse.
My meniscus is going to have to get a lot worse before I'm going through that!

So glad to hear you are getting better. I just stopped and offered up a prayer for you and your family.

Get better soon and get that 9 finished. We need to meet up...

Default Yikes.

Just saw this. We are all pulling for you and there can't be anything like the power of RV builders pulling for someone!

Awesome news Tom, glad to hear everything's okay in the grand scheme. And I'm guessing the docs won't like the idea of just rubbing some Proseal over the trach hole to seal it up? Your health and recovery are the greatest presents your family (and, to a much lesser extent, us) can receive for the upcoming season. Talk to you soon for my tubes, once you're ready!
