FINALLY. I am (more or less) back. [View all]

This surgery and the entire aftermath have been a big surprise to me.

The surgery took longer than expected.

The anesthesia froze my intestinal tract--oh boy did it.

I had trouble with aspirating stuff--a very big no-no!

My muscles atrophied from lack of exercise.

You get the picture.

I was still making progress on the other areas.


My daughter brought my laptop today and though it's old and slow, it still works!

I was transferred to a rehab center last night and my recovery is well under way.
And of course, I can now talk to all of you!
