Kim 8,047 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 As many of you know, it has been a difficult period for me and my family. My wife had a second stroke last month and had to do a brain surgery last week to remove a brain stem cavernoma. I'm glad to report that the surgery went well, and she is now recovering in rehab. It is still a long process, but the most difficult and risky part is behind us. I would like to thank everyone for your support and good wishes! I'm very fortunate to have such great community, both on professional and personal level. The number of emails and messages was really overwhelming. Special thanks to our dedicated team of mentors (@Yowster @SBatch and others) for covering during my absence. I expect to be back in full force shortly and to continue providing the same level of support and service you are all used to. Happy Thanksgiving and happy trading during those challenging times! 20 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cuegis 683 Report post Posted November 22, 2018 Hi Kim...I just wanted to know that I'm still thinking about, and praying for you and your wife and family. I'm very happy to hear that the darkest part is now behind, rather than ahead, of you. That is very important. You have all of my best wishes and I'm sure everything will be uphill from here moving forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydragon 51 Report post Posted November 23, 2018 Kim, Glad to hear things are moving in a positive direction. Continued prayers for you, your wife, and family. It's important to be with those whom you love and need your time and care. Esp at times like this, trading needs to take a back seat to family. I think we all understand and respect that. Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
