Got released from the hospital today (6 days in) and had 2 fellow pinsiders come to my rescue. They drove from 3 hours away to help mow the lawn, clean the gutters, and keep company with my wife. You just don't find friends like that anywhere. Pinside is an awesome place to meet people with the same passion and love for the things that you value. This is truly a community of like minded folks that have a desire to enhance your overall well-being and not just your hobby skills. I just want to say thank you to NicToria for supporting my wife and son this week. Also a shout out to all of the other pinsiders who jump right in with knowledge and wisdom and share it with others....No questions asked. I know that I have benefited from it before. And we should also thank Robin for creating a place for all of this to happen. Thank you everyone else for your contributions to this site. Without them there wouldn't be a place to call Pinside!! Got to go. I hear the Silver Ball calling... Big B

Great to read stories like this. Need more of this kind of stuff in the world.

Glad to hear you're out of the hospital. Long stays are really hard on a family. I know that all too well.

Good story. I had an 18 day stay in the hospital and a God-awful past 5 years of my life physically. It's good to have helpful and true friends.

Sorry to hear about your need to stay in the first place, but thank you for sharing your story. This place has been nothing but helpful to me and it's nice to see there is no bounds to fellow pinsiders' generosity.
