Apologies, I misspoke. I have my Recovery Phrase for Armory, I do not have the Private Keys from Armory.

So I need to use Armory? I keep getting:  "Connection to Bitcoin Core client lost! Armory cannot send nor receive Bitcoins until connection is re-established"

Thank you.

I am having a hell of a time getting the huge transfer I sent to Armory because I didn't understand how complex of a wallet Armory was compared to others.

I have Bitcoin Core fully installed and downloaded the needful blockchain resources over several days - but now armory is stuck on "Preparing Databases" and wont' show my balance.
 
I did get a Windows Notification stating that it lost connection I believe but I am totally lost.

I have my Private Keys of course, how can I (preferably WITHOUT Armory) simply restore my damn coins and send to another wallet? This has been so frustrating.

Thank you!!!
