Hi all.

First for all thanks for all the well wishes.

I had the operation on Tuesday 1-16. It was a 3 1/2 hour surgery. I was
finally released on Thursday 1-18. That night was the first good night
of sleep I had since the operation as there was no hospital staff to wake
me up every hour through the night.

My right leg is somewhat numb and I need a walker to get around as it
will not consistently hold my weight. I had been confined to the 2nd
story of house for the past few days but decided I had enough of the
confinement so I got downstairs like I got upstairs on Thursday....on my
butt and one step at a time.

With 312 unread messages (after I filtered out the ones from the a-holes,
including the non boating golfers) I have a lot of reading to do


Congratulations.
We had a scare here also. My mother got the flu and we think she inhaled
a bit of her vomit overnight and she quickly developed pneumonia.
It looked tricky...especially when the medical team wanted a meeing with
the family. After four days the meds finally cut in and she improved
steadily.
After a 12 day stay she was released back home on the 18th. At this point
she is only able to do three laps of our hall, kitchen, living room &
dining room 'oval track' but we'll work at it.


OMG! Glad to hear she is improving......pneumonia can be fatal. I will
keep her in my prayers Don.
