It's good to be alive

[scook]

Thanks guys - I definitely appreciate the prayers, had a good sized crew here praying too.

They say it went pretty much perfectly and today, two days post op, all of the tubes and wires are out and you’re right phat, I’m not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. The little machine they have me inhale through indicates that my lung capacity is less than a third of what it was a week ago but say it’s due to swelling do stuff in my chest that got beat up during surgery and some fluid buildup in my lungs. If I follow instructions and exercise enough but not too much they say that will clear up.

Now if you guys would chase some of those fish you’re catching back there out to the northwest, the V might get a workout this season. I think our
Columbia River Salmon have all gone to heaven, they’re sure now around here anymore.

Destroyer, I’ll check with my doc about that stuff - thanks for the tip.

Thanks again for the prayers - it’s good to be back among the living.
