Hi everyone! Gotta make this short because I'm fighting to keep my eyes open, but, surgery went flawless, recovery has been rough but nothing I can't handle! Thankyou for all your support, you guys brought me to tears the other day with all your kind words!

This sounds crazy but when you drink or eat something and it hurts, take a short walk. It helps whatever go down. I tried to walk each hour that I was awake. It really does help. Take care.

Hurray, Hurray.  I'm scooting down for you.  It does get better, daily after I got home, each day was better.  Rest, sip, walk, repeat.
