You guys are wonderful! Thank you SO much for the kind words.

I must tell you about today: I have made it a point to be very positive and not complain about any of this, then on Monday I pretty much broke down and cried, "I hurt, I feel like crap!" I really felt bad until this afternoon and then all of a sudden it was like POP! I'm fine. The funny thing is that you think it will be when you wake up in the morning not just all of a sudden in the afternoon. I plan to try cylcing tomorrow!

This really is a stumped toe in the trail of life, but it has made me feel a whole lot more sympathetic for 'minor' surgery.
