Way to go Chuck! I'm so happy to hear you are doing well. It really is amazing, the progress we make day to day. Hard to believe, but tomorrow is 3 weeks for me and I'll be posting my three-week update. And you are so right about the nurses. They were incredible and I can't say enough about them

Jeff Shebovsky

Glad to here that you are doing better Chuck. It does feel good to be home!! You are probably walking at least twice a day now. It gets better! Springtime is here, enjoy!! Take care.

HOME!!!!!L. What an awesome word to read in an HVJ. Congrats Chuck. Now the real recovery begins. Do what you can (push it a little more each day) and do what you need (naps!). Welcome home and, again, to the other side of surgery.

Hi Chuck, sorry I haven't "written" in a while, seems I have a computer whose time to retire has come! Good to see you are on your way to recovery. Isn't being on the other side great??? I am doing well, no major issues. I think being prepared was the key. For me, my experience was much better than I anticipated. I will say that yes, the spirometer was my best friend from the very beginning and I am so glad I put it to use.
Hope you continue to progress and look forward to hearing you are at home!

Chuck, Keep up the great work. You'll be home soon

Hi,

It is good to see that Chuck is doing well. Hopefully a room will become available soon, it should be a bit quieter there, although, as I remember, it was still pretty busy in the step-down unit as well.

Best wishes to all of you!!
