    Nice to hear that you are recovering well. While you still have ground to gain, your motivation and tenacity should hold you well. My brother is now home following his stroke. He is getting home therapy, from there, he will go to outpatient therapy. His speech is much improved and he moves well. Just tires out easily. He said they have him on 22 pills. Some are supplements.

    He can have all those pills I have enough with the 5 different ones I have to eat. I keep trying to get rid of a couple and the docs tell me no.

    Well, to be fair, the picture only showed the base. However, I was working in the basement and my signature distinctly says that the P61a is a Cellar Dweller (highlighted in blue font even) - so I don't know whether I should cut him some slack or not :D

    I have no trouble taking naps, in fact I always at least try to take a nap. Yes one tires quite easily after having a stroke sometimes you get no warning, it just hits.

    That was the quote for a gas water heater, the install and removal of his old one.

    The last water heater I replaced here was under $500 and took about an hour from start to finish to shut off the water, unhook the pipes and the electrical and swap the tanks out and button things back up.

    Guess I'm in the wrong business

    The fatigue after a stroke seems to be a permanent part of the scenery, as I am coming up 5 years now and it still hammers me at times.

    Well, there are on-demand systems that are quite expensive compared to a regular water heater, but still not that expensive. Are you sure he didn't get a boiler with water heater?

    Well, the central A/C install is well underway. More complex that originally thought, due to location issue.
