One Month Out

Hi there. Mike here...

It's been a month since the surgery, so I thought I'd just post a little update. My recovery is going slowly but surely; I feel a little better almost every day. When I think of the state I was in at this time on April 2, well...I'm MUCH better now.

I'm up and around for the most part, but I do get tired easily and much of the day is still spent with things that take longer than they should: getting washed up and dressed, eating (still a time-consuming chore), managing the medications, etc. But I'm also starting to get some exercise, tapering off the pills, and beginning to see the humor in my circumstances. (And there's actually a fair amount of it if I just step back a little bit!)

Thanks again to all who have been in touch since I got out of the hospital. Your support continues to be a big help to my recovery! My next check-up with the doctor is May 7 and I'm expecting a good report. I'm really looking forward to getting back into the real world soon!
