Diane/Re: Back from surgery

[Guest guest]

Diane,

Thanks a bunch Diane!

Yes, I am relieved that I caught the loose plates and screws early

before they got infected. I am a little bit worried on that tissue

sample that was sent to Hopkins. Hopefully I will get the

results of that next week. Meantime it is back again dealing with

the swelling and this time pain. Thank God for the painkillers and

ice packs!
