My wife, Nikki, and I are pleased that you are on the way to recovering.
It is a time consuming and at times a frustrating road, but you are the sort that will most likely far exceed the doctors' expectations.
All the best.

We've very happy that you're feeling well enough to start posting again! I hope your recovery is as miraculous as your survival was.
There are companies out there that will negotiate medical bills on your behalf. Most will do a flat rate per case or a percentage of the savings. I almost hired one when I was charged $10 for an ibuprofen at a hospital. PM, tag or quote me if you'd like me to look up the name of the company
BedIt is a big hit! If you can find a person or a company to do order fulfillment we'll keep buying it!

There's documentary on Netflix that I watched last night about mushrooms. Incredibly facinating! I had no idea how intertwined they are with the nature around us! Anyways, they of course touched on psylocybin mushrooms and research is showing that they actually can form new neurological pathways
Glad you're back in whatever capacity you're able. You're a lucky man. Been following you on the new Marine Electric Group on Facebook. Hang in there Rod, you are an inspiration to us all!
I am VERY glad to see that Maine Sail is back to posting and that he keeps contributing to the sailing community.
One thing that has surprised me, however, is that the GoFundMe that has been set up by Rod's brother has not exceeded it's goal. Rodd has helped MANY of us out either by direct contact, or indirectly by posting in many sailing forums or to Marine How To. I believe that if half the people that he has helped could contribute to the GoFundMe, it would have already exceeded the goal. If you would like to express your appreciation you can do so:

Don't forget, a lot of us contributed to Compass Marine before there was the GoFundMe.

I only just saw this update. Rodd, I am so glad to hear this from you! I am sure you know that there are a LOT of people pulling for you, praying for you, and cheering your recovery. Stay strong, keep working to get better, and please, don't be a stranger! We miss you on this forum, even when we don't check in often. Best wishes. Brian
Hi
In the ”old days” I only knew you as Mainesail and found your presentations beyond belief and or amazing. Good luck on your recovery and no need to get back to me.

I see that it has been 26 days since the last donation to the GoFundMe for Rodd Collins, aka Mainesail. Let's all not allow the fund to go a full month between donations! As you contemplate going sailing, just remember how much of his time Rodd has given. I encourage each of you to contribute at least $100. If that truly is unaffordable, then donate what you can afford.
