Get better John.
Thanks for all the good tips too you've always shared.
All of us luthier types must remember to be lung aware, all the time.
Might be a good time to buy some DVD's?
We're all thinking of you.

Cobra legislation allows for a 60 day window in which a person can retroactively elect to continue group health coverage at their own expense under their former employer's plan for up to 18 months.

John,

Best wishes and get well soon. I had pneumonia last year and certainly wouldn’t wish it upon anyone else. I wonder if the removed fluid had wood containments in it.


P.S. Please be mindful and abide by our guidelines when showing concern to other members.

Philip

All the best to you John and to your family. I hope your wife is getting some help with the little ones while you're laid up.

Speedy recovery!
