I'm very happy to know that you are feeling great. I hope it continues to get better each day. Take it slow, get plenty of rest and let your body heal.
I look forward to hearing more about your recovery, and hope it continues to be good news.

Great News!!!
Hey Bob,
Thanks for the update--this is fantastic news! So you really were full of ... I had a feeling.  From one 2-level to another: take things slow and enjoy your time in Germany. I actually walked about 4.5 miles at 10 days post-op (doing a lot of sightseeing), but I was in no pain other than the surgery induced pain / incision site. Going to Germany/Austria was one of the best "vacations" I've had--surgery was icing on the cake!Keep us posted and be well my friend.
