Very glad to hear that you got decent treatment from your employer, especially that he gave you the extension. Restores faith in human nature. Has been said that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, a bit of an overstatement, but in your case your attitude to your situation is a BIG plus. There are some terrible but very common viruses around that we live with every day, most without them doing any harm until they happen to get into somewhere they do real damage. Feel very humbled by your take on life, and yes, this or any hobby that can inspire is a blessing. Good luck from now on and will be watching for your updates.
