Yes Gil;
I am sure the comment he made about leaving his wife for that pretty little German Nurse, named Helga, was just part of his drug induced stupor.  She only weighs 250 lbs. but, set a world record in the Woman's Power Lifting Contest last year in Straubing, lifting a record 500 lbs. Be gentle with her Mark as, you have to understand your limitations after such major surgery. PS: Get well soon. Terry Newton

Progress post op
I can't remember when I checked back here yesterday tho think it was in the evening so I was very glad to see that both Diane and Mark had posted.
Diane, thanks for your update re Mark..if you felt his progress and care was so good as to be able to go get some much needed rest then it sounds like things were going well! Locking up his laptop sounds like it was necessary too! Mark, Very glad to see you posting and have to smile when you say that about going off the Fentanyl drip cuz it's just amazing the power of the drugged brain re pain alleviation.. glad to hear you're working it out and doing as well as you are and of course wishing you the best! Till you next post...

Thank-you Diane for posting on Mark's behalf. We do so appreciate it. Like someone else already stated, keep that computer locked away from him, till doctor okay's it's use.
We will definitely keep you both in our prayers, and now you can call your sweet granddaughter and let her know her Papa is going to be ok! Heal, heal, heal, is the name of the game now Mark. And........take it slow! We're watching you!  My best to you guys, Cindylou

Hi Mark
This one totally slipped under my radar.. I knew you were considering further surgery but didn’t realise it was a done deal. 4 levels - that’s quite some surgery. You must be so relieved to be on the ‘other side’. Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery. Take care and all the best Tim
