Hi Peter, I hope you're on the mend & that by this New Year you'll be up & about singing & playing. Cause this guy in the post above me is going to get you out of bed anyways, so you might as well go along with Radriano when he gets there & start practicing. Doesn't sound like the bugger is gonna stop pestering you until you recoup anyway.
Best whishes to you & here's hoping for an early dismissal. Instead of a Christmas card this is like an early (get out of jail) release card. Do not pay the $200, just pass go & get out of there.

Barry
