YR - thanks for the reply, you said he was calmer, but did your h also become more volatile as he slowly reconnected - not so much the old spewing, as erratic and rather childish? I just cannot remember . . . But it is good that the ded eyes are starting to go . . . I know they reconnect from the outside in, I also know that my h has a goodish way to go - remember that I have been at this a loooong time!
