Thumbs up Hello my dear friends

Thank you all so very much for your very kind words and prayers through my rehabilition.

I am home now (came home on Tuesday this week.
Am starting to move around pretty good now with my walker. I went to the Ortho. surgeon today who said everything is in place and looking good and I can presume doing anything as long as I feel comfortable with it and of course causiouly.

I am not comfortable walking without holding on to something yet. He said I should not be afraid but that is easier said then done.

I still have edema om my surgical side which pulls my skin pretty tight and cause some pain but given some time I will get pass that too.

My onc. had to withhold two of my treatments because my Bilirubin had elevated but hopefully will start again next week and I had to cancel my scans that I was to have the week I fell. Praying everything is still working.

Again, thank you all so much and Yes John is a great person who soon will need to go into the hospital himself just to get some rest

I love you all -
