Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments. They are much appreciated!
I am slowly getting strength back and have been checking in here and at Kurt's site. The doctor wasn't kidding when he said it would take awhile before I wouldn't feel tired all the time!
At first I was totally staying away from the internet and TV (not a bad thing actually), but I've spent the last several days watching the Laurel and Hardy DVDs that came last week. Laughter is indeed excellent medicine!
