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
