Thanks for the well wishes, everyone.

Lucky for me, my wife has been helping me with things like dressing and undressing, showering, etc., etc. The pain medication is working slightly...but the buzz is wonnnnderfull.

The folks at the hospital told me to be sure to cough and breathe deeply as often as possible to ward off any lung infection, collapse lungs, or pneumonia which they seemed to be quite concerned about. I think my 'bicyclists lungs' are to my advantage in that regard.

It's nice to have so many BF friends. Thanks.
