Walking with my brother-in-law, John.
Walking and talking with family... A great part of the recovery process. Way to go Ken and John! :)

Today is my two-week anniversary (if you're allowed to have anniversaries for surgeries). The weather permitted walking outside over the weekend. I took a few with my good friend and brother-in-law, John (above picture). His heart is as big as his smile! So much has been crammed into these last... Read more.
Wonderful Ken! It's great to hear you're up and about and your spirits are high. :)
Two weeks already? Amazing. So excellent to read and feel your positive approach life Ken. Thanks for sharing!

Happy Thanksgiving, so great to see you smiling. God Bless!
Soon you will see and feel big progress! You look fabulous already, but count the wee steps of progress as they all add up! Rest is good! Walking is good, and eating is good! Take good care!
