Wow! Continue your amazing recovery.
Bob Fessler
That is a small incision and it looks so good!
Mary Rodriguez
Sorry I missed your post from the day before your surgery. Your incision looks great! same surgery I had. Isn't it amazing?
Bob Fotoples
Yes, it is, Mary. I had a small bout with A-Fib while still under anesthetic, and another one while I was in the hospital, so I'm on warfarin until November, and Metropolol(sp?) for a really LONG time....

I've been home since Sunday, as I had a minor bout of A Fib (which scared the heck out of me). Walked about a mile yesterday, over the course of the entire day.

Helped my wife cut the grass. I was on a riding mower. :-)
