Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Well done !! Isn't it a great feeling to know that you've done it and it will only get better! Enjoy each day of progress- it's remarkbale how quick the progress is. My laptop with wireless networking has been a godsend as I have been able to keep in touch with the world and this group at any time during the days at home on my own. Take care and enjoy the forced R&R Kay Nisbett snisbett@...> wrote: Hello, sister and fellow hippies: I've posted on the site and corresponded with some of you in the last months.

(The best tip was to get a recliner - invaluable!). His office had an early date that I jumped at, with only 2 weeks to prepare, but I got it together and did it. The surgery went well and I am making a good recovery so far. I've been using two crutches and, in the last several days, just one around the house.
