Back Home From The Hospital

I'm back home from the hospital. The operation took place yesterday around noon and because there are no complications and I'm feeling fine, they sent me home this afternoon. I'm still a little weak and I do have some pain but that's normal after they cut four holes in my belly.

I'm overwhelmed by the number of reactions. For the past hour I've been reading all of them and I still have to take a look at all the e-mails I received. I deeply appreciate your kind words. I never expected this. Thank you so very much!

Blogging will commence tomorrow.
