Hi Nell, I think the tone is much more pleasant this time but perhaps the content makes you a bit too much like a loving wife .I think you need only the info about the hearing and possibly the water. By giving him the other info you're putting him a very comfortable position and as it's already been said, you are removing the mystery.
And, yes, I would sign off with my name. I actually started using Hi H and finishing with Thanks, W at the beginning when H used no intro or signoff and before long H followed my lead.
