Just a quick note to say I had my first post surgery Doctor’s appointment today, and everything checked out very well. It was good to see Dr. Bhoyrul again, and he assured me the surgical drains will be coming out next week. He answered all my questions, and did a body mass test. I am down to 182 and change! Pretty skinny for a big guy like me, but the good Doctor assured me that I am holding on to my muscle mass very well. Basically, at just over 2 weeks post surgery, it would be hard to imagine doing any better. I can’t wait to get back to some physical activity, but all in good time. Right now it is just more rest and recovery, but all the signs are trending in the right direction. Thank you everyone for your concern and kind thoughts. Nurse Amy tells me its nap time, so I had better listen!
