Hi everyone ... I'm alive and (sorta) well. Surgery seems to have gone well ... I can now feel my right thigh for the first time in a while so it looks like the nerve impingement was taken care of. Pain still is bad when I move around a lot ... but that's what the goodies from the pharmacy are for For the last 24 hours. I have been up and walking for a couple of minutes every few hours and each time it gets a little easier so things are headed in the right direction.

Should be home tomorrow and I'll try to keep you all posted on my progress and even be a little more active with the board once my buns feel normal.

Thanks for all the notes from everybody, I appreciate them!! Hope you all catch a big one when things drop in here before too much longer! I'm jealous!!!
