Released on good behavior

Getting released from the hospital ain't too shabby of a birthday gift.  After keeping solid food down yesterday they decided I was good enough to be on my own.  I am feeling alright, off all pain meds, and can saunter around like an old man.  We celebrated tonight at my brother's house and it was great to be back.  This is definitely going to take a couple months to heal fully but we are off to a good start.  Barring any late complications (this surgery it is fairly common) I will head out to the valley to recover at my parents' house for a couple weeks this Friday.

  3. I hope you recover well. Tammie and I are sending our best wishes from Singapore. She calls Yakima "YakiVegas" because that was the only place to go at Central when she went there for college :)

  4. Hi Phil, we have never met, but we are cousins (I recently married Michele and Joe's son Eric). Just letting you know we are thinking of you, and are so glad to hear that the surgery went well! Hope the "old man" sauntering turns at least middle-aged man sauntering soon. :) We'll look out for updates!
