I fully understand and sympathize; I have encountered similar problems both
at work and in my personal life. Everyone is entitled to a vacation now and
then, and you have more than earned one now.

But, please do come back when you're feeling better and are prepared to go
once more into the fray. Your comments have been useful and helpful to me
and (i'm sure) to others, even when you are replying to someone else's
post. I will miss them while you're gone.

Be well!

Ken
