So glad your brother is out of the hospital now and relaxing at home, and feeling well enough to be "spamming!" Your steemit journey story is certainly an interesting and inspiring one, and your accomplishments here are quite impressive.
PHC is an awesome, active, helpful and friendly community to be a part of, and you created that! You manage it very well also.
Your brother's message to you about checking out steemit, should be considered a valuable artifact which represents the beginning of your steemit life! Maybe an engraved plaque to hang on your office wall? ;)
Well done!
