Hi Michael; I've appreciated your notes and comments, as I launch down the same road in 10 days. Surgery scheduled for 8/24 and my condition is very similar. Hoping for some similarity in outcome and recovery, too. Hope you continue to improve and that you're back to "normal" soon!

Best wishes. My caregivers were WIZARDS. Sincerely hope you have similar results. I am up to 5 mile walks at sub-16 minute per mile pace. Let us know how you are doing.
