    I didn’t expect this post so soon!
    What can I say Jeff, other than I’m happy that all is going well. Leave it to you to be up and posting 12 hours after major surgery. Keep pushing my friend.

    Wonderful News!
    Jeff,

    I'm SO pleased for you :) I'm glad your guy took his time. That's the one concern that I've got with Nick's 4 or 4 1/2 hour surgery. I hope they weren't "too" quick.

    Positive thoughts, energy & prayers to you for minimal pain and a speedy recovery.

    Thank You Terry!
    How is Nick today?

    Wonderful beyond belief....
    Nick's made a loop of the floor already this morning. He's most unhappy about the nose tube and the sore throat that it's giving him. But if that's the biggest complaint he has following major surgery, I'm thrilled!

    He's anxious to drink and/or eat. I know... eating is a ways away, but he is HUNGRY! :) Can't get the swallow test done quickly enough for me.

    Hope your day is peaceful and has a smiling patient at the other end.

    Jeff Thomas posting from hospital!!
    What do you say to THAT except what has been said, and WOW! WOW! WOW!

    I am so impressed and amazed to see one posting from their bedside post surgery when most are still GROGGY!! I am also amazed at our technology, as another is posting from the surgery waiting room!!! WOW!

    This is an amazing group, an amazing board and I am so glad to be a part of this with you all. What a difference a day can make, huh? Walking, typing, taking time to share with US right after you are up! Thank you. I am touched.

    Keep the faith and keep us posted, both of you. What a week so far!!
