All,
As you may or may not know, Mel Toye (K5KEY) had major back surgery down in Frisco week before last. He was finally transferred to a rehabilitation place today:
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Prosper (map and other details here)
1231 Mahard Pkwy
Prosper, TX 75078
Room #132
If you want to send flowers there is a teaching moment here. Use Grok or other AI of your choice and ask it the question as I did at the link below. The national chains hijack Google results and then take a big cut for themselves when you call their 800 number and place an order. Cut to the chase and get the local florist.

The Grok result above informs us THE local option is:
Prosper Blooms
210 W Broadway St
Prosper, TX 75078
Phone: (469) 481-9294

Mel is a good dude. Calls, texts, cards, flowers, live plants and in person visits are all welcome!
