Kim and Dean,

Thank you so much for your thoughts and support.
I am already out of the hospital, 28 hours later. I did just complete a brief update under the Surgical Outcome fourum. So far it has not been nearly as bad as I had envisioned.
I know there will be a lot of peaks and valleys but it is such a tremedous mental relief to have it behind me. Let the recovery begin.
Thanks again,

Dave
