I think you deserve a short vacation even if the doctor says you can go to the office this week!
Bob Jensen

Phyllis Petersen
Wow Bob! That's an awful lot to have done and still be getting out in 3 days. I'm glad to hear you're doing so well. One thing everyone notice rather shortly after my surgery was how much more color I had. I didn't think I was quite that pale, but... Read more.

So happy to see your successful surgery Bob. I'm sorry that I didn't respond sooner. I had a successful surgery, but, did have an unexpected turn of events after being at home for a few days. I am working through it and am back home and healing.

I'm an official zipper Club member. This is 24 hours after my surgery the anxiousness is finally gone and we're celebrating and now it's time to recover the pain medication is great

Congratulations to you Bob! You are looking relieved and you are on your way to recovering! Happy for you and jealous of the little heart puppy you have along with your heart pillow which for awhile will be your best friend! Heal well!

Awesome news!!! Each day, you'll feel stronger. Walk when you can, although it'll take a lot of energy at first, it'll be worth it!

Finally - a place for me to discuss all of this stuff. I am a single dad of two great daughters who have been my life after my wife's death 8 years ago. I now have a loving partner that has helped me raise my girls, and I am the... Read more.

The surgery is a week away and I can't get it off my mind. I hate this LOOMING feeling.
