Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful messages. I was able to read them before my surgery but had little time to respond. I was putting as much time in at work as I could to plan as much as possible for missing a month or longer of work.
Midnite has been my main contact since it has been easier to send her messages and she offered to relay my news.
I'm back home now and improving each day. Much time has been spent on very basic things, such as monitoring temperature, pulse, going for short walks three times a day, and using some breathing devices to help expand my lungs and improve my breathing.
I was so surprised to see such warm messages not only from friends here who've I've met in person but also many whom I've never met. I want you to know that I believe your good thoughts and prayers have truly made a difference.
Although I thought I'd be spending my recovery lounging and watching DS DVDs, that hasn't actually happened yet, though I hope to at least watch some DS! And I hope to visit the forum and maybe even do some posting before returning to the routine and schedule of the work world in August.
