The Recovery Begins

I am glad to be home from the hospital. While I recieved great care there there is no place like home. I now realize why it is going to take so long to recover from this surgery. I can not imagine the pain I would be feeling if I had opted for the older style of the proceedure. But i look forward to the recovery and it will be a slow process Wit every day the pain lessens a bit and some movement comes back.

I am amazed at the overwhelming amount of support I received from my family and friends. I appreciate all the prayers and notes and messages of encouragement that were sent in my direction. I have come away from this experience realizing how blessed I am as a person.

I was impressed by the staff at the hospital and their wonderful care for me and my family. If I had a need and they were aware of it they did their very best to meet it.

I must also express my thanks to Christy my wife for her care for me during this time. She was determined to spend the night and got up several times to take care of the little details.

I am sure with friends and family my recovery will go smoothly. Words can not express how I feel about the support I received
