Well heck, its all good luck (except for the sock, I doubt that one is worth a restore, suggest you chuck it, you'll probably get new ones for xmas anyhow) and my heart goes out to that 92, poor little furty-fur-furty, I imagine there are tons of people on CGN who would be more than happy to give it a home and make it well again.
I think you should do the restore and post an update for each stage back here for everyone.
