It's around midnight & I just got home from the ER where I've been with my wife who just had a mild heart attack today. Doctor's say she may be able to come home tomorrow,but they are sending her to a specialized medical facility tonight to be on the safe side as she's still in a deal of pain,which is causing some concern.Had to come home & take care of the pets & wanted to let you all know I may not be on the next few days. Not sure what's gonna come of all this or how much help she's gonna need the next few days,but I just can't really think about chess right now.
If I'm gone more than a week, I'd appreciate Greg timing out my games for me & giving my opponents the win. Don't want to hold anyone up unduly. Hopefully will be back on in a couple of days with positive news though.

Take your time Chris. If no one else objects in the zapper I have no problem in pausing your games.

Re: Need a few days off
Well,should be back on in a day or so if all goes well, just excuse me if my game suffers a bit. My wife wound up having another heart attack;a major one, when she arrived at the new hospital. Fortunately it's one of the top facilities in the South East. She is doing better now & is supposed to be able to come back home today. She had to have 2 heart stents put in & will be having to make several lifestyle changes,mainly dietary & quitting smoking. She seems to be out of the woods for the moment,now the focus is on taking the necessary steps to ensure (as much as we can) that this doesn't happen again.
Thanks for the kind comments. We don't always get along that well,but I do love the ornery little rascal & it's
pretty upsetting when anything happens to her.

Give the wife my hopes for a sound recovery !
Makes all my problems seem miniscule in comparison.
Take good care of that woman.
