I'm in my hotel and this whole thing has worked out better than I could have asked for. The surgery, the hospital, the doctors, and the recovery have all been south better than I expected. The first day out of the hospital I walked about a mile to have a great dinner and felt great. This is/was the best decision/outcome i could gave possibly imagined!! God Bless !! I pray for all a pain free day!!

This morning was tough but it seems to have gotten a lot better as the day progressed. This morning was horrible but I think it was just a case of the you got a bunch of crap cut and your healing. Quit worrying that you are still broken. Thanks for all the love. God Bless to all !!
